Review: Quirky Murder Mystery

I don't normally read short stories so it was nice to get into something a bit different.Emily is still depressed from the death of her dog, and when she's invited to a Halloween party, she thinks it might be what she needs to cheer herself up. The only problem is the party is like a Murder Mystery night with eccentric carnival performers, and Emily finds herself the unwitting witness to a murder. Or did she? Emily has to unravel the circus trick and find the body.The style of writing reminded me of novels by Thomas H Cook that I love - serious and slightly old fashioned. The descriptions are vivid and unusual. I did find it a little slow to get into, but then the pace seemed to up suddenly and capture my attention.Three Sisters is an intriguing story. If you like mysteries, it's well worth giving this a read.
