Review: More Than a Murder Mystery
Rating: 5 out of 5

This story has something more about it than a "murder mystery". When I reached the end I was reminded why this was.The atmospheric surroundings and threatening air are soon created, and the characters are sketched quickly. I enjoyed the writing for its own sake as much as wanting to follow the plot and there's a sense of danger and menace throughout while we wonder who exactly it is who's under threat. We are left puzzling about a sudden decision that's made halfway through and I can't help thinking there is more to this part of the story than the author is telling us, but perhaps it's not relevant to the plot.The ending when it comes is abrupt and unexpected. Like real life, the plot isn't neat and tidy and we are left wondering what will happen next. The story is to be continued.I enjoyed this quick read and I think many fans of this genre will, too. It's not normally the kind of story I would go for but I'm glad I did. As I say, there is more to admire than just the mystery.
