4 STARSThe Murder Pit is a cozy mystery that is not so cozy. In fact it is so cold below freezing that their pipes get frozen. When they crawl up to try and unfreeze the pipes they find a dead body in their coal chute.The setting is Moose River, MN. A small town setting in winter.Daisy Savage is the main character. She has three kids of her own, and a stepdaughter. Jake is her new husband. Daisy knew the dead guy that they found.In their small town everyone soon knew that she had dated the deceased man they found in their house and soon everyone thought she was the murder. It effected their whole family so much that Daisy decided to try and find out who might of wanted to kill him and frame her.At first I thought wow how everyone wants to keep their children away from her. Then I decided that I would keep my kids away to error on the safe side.Their old house needs a lot of work. I can see how it would having a house too over a 100 years old with its own coal chute and frozen pipes too.I did guess who the killer was fairly early. I was not sure on the guess and had no idea of why he was murdered or why he was put in there home.One question I have about the dead body is wouldn't they have noticed a rotting smell? Or because it was so cold their was no smell? The rest of the story makes perfect sense.I liked the Savage family and would enjoy reading more about these characters in future stories like Last Resort the next Moose River Mystery.I was given this ebook to read and asked in return to give honest review of it by Net Galley and Indie Inked.
