Rating: 5 out of 5

Mayflower Murders is one of those mystery stories that leaves you turning pages for hours until you finish.I have a deep love for history and the authors of this book did some research to keep the facts straight which I loved, and then added murder and mystery.To begin with my favorite thing is the inner struggle of the characters. For instance Parley who has a secret he wants to keep so bad, but is willing to give up his safety to do the right thing. Squanto, who just wants to find peace and understanding with the new people and come to the bottom of the dilemma affecting his people as well as the people of Plymoth. Remmie, who is lovable and so very classy, she just wants to believe in the goodness of all people.I do not want to give away too much because this is one of those reads that keeps you guessing to the very end with a twist to astonish you.Basic broad explanation if the book: The people of the Mayflower having dealt with death on their way over the ocean hope for changes once they reach Plymoth. They have high hopes for making a homestead and enduring through the winter, only to find that death had followed them off the ship. Parley and Squanto only want to come to the bottom of just what is causing all of the deaths in the area. Just when you think you know who the killer is, you get a tiny piece of imformation that makes you doubt your thoughts. You are guessing until the end and then shocked to find everything you thought you knew was wrong.A very excellent read do pick it up, you will not regret it.As a side note I was given this book free as a beta reader, however receiving it this was did not in any way affect my review it is awesome regardless!!!!
