"Death of the King" is an entertaining and well-written novel that takes a cue from classics written by Agatha Christie or Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The novel is smart, engaging, vivid with imagery, has strong characters that draw you in and a thrilling plot that doesn't disappoint. Ms. Joyce does a wonderful job in writing a vibrant story that flows, moving from action to comedy, drama and everything in between. What I really liked about the novel (and what I look for most with mysteries like this) is that the author made such to keep me guessing and on my toes from beginning to end. There were twists and turns to engage me, but at the end Ms. Joyce was sure to tie up each little detail of the plot in a satisfying way so that this little murder mystery felt completed and thoroughly uncovered. Overall, I had a fun time reading this and am actually eager to see what else the author has up her sleeve next because this was a fantastic novel.
