This was one of the best murder mysteries I've read. The author kept you guessing right till the end, when you thought you had guessed who had murdered Henry and claire their were more twists to the story. The characters were good you found out a bit about them.
An excellent 5 star book a must to read.

An exceptionally well written mystery.  Setting is a small community college in New Jersey.  Maggie Summer is a professor here during the week and is often off to her art shows on weekends for her Shadows business.  There is a house set up across the campus for single parent students - 5 females and 1 male.  During a cocktail party at one of the college mucky-mucky's one of the girl students passes out and goes into a coma.  Maggie is the faculty advisor for this house of students.  The police get involved and there is alot of behind the scenes happenings occuring.  A Very Good Read.

This is a well written mystery. I did not suspect the killer until near the end. The central character is Freddie Croft, a retired race jockey who now runs a horse transport business. One of his drivers picks up a hitchhiker(strictly forbidden by Freddie) who dies of a heart attack. This starts a chain of events that include murder, attempted murder, computer viruses and more.  I recommend this book to anyone who enjoy a well written mystery with a good plot.

This is a lovely murder mystery with very interesting characters. I especially enjoyed Miss Marple solving the murder from the sidelines amid the speculations of who was the victim and who was the murderer.

Tightly written murder mystery where Kiki knows something is not right about her husband's death but it looks like natural causes to the police. She keeps at it until she can get a detective to see it her way.

These are excellent characters and an excellent story. Every time I thought I knew who the murderer was, they got killed or were guilty of some other crime. I did not guess until the end as it was being explained to me. I cannot wait to read the next one.

This was such a wonderful story. A murder has happened in a small town and the only clue Joe Stubbs, the sheriff has is an alarm clock and an apology note found at the scene. The reader is taken unto the investigation and also into the life of the killer's past. A riveting read by an author who knows how to tell a mesmerizing tale of life, loss and love.

This book sucked me in from the beginning and kept me reading till the very end. The writing was excellent. The people were real and the story flowed very well. It was easy to follow, but the twist at the end was a surprise. I would recommend this to anyone that enjoys suspense and murder mysteries.

I know Edinburgh so it was nice to have this virtual visit. The story starts when Tom McIver returns from South Africa. His mother has died and he has time for reflection on the past, especially the murder of Shona, his young sister. Advances in DNA reveal that the person convicted of Shona's murder is innocent. Tom is determined to find out who killed his sister. The story unfolds richly like an Agatha Christie murder/mystery, complete with red herrings, twists & turns, and a list of curious suspects. The writing is excellent. The characters (both good and bad) are well drawn and believable. Highly recommended.

This book is a good read!!  I would say it is a great, light, fun murder mystery that makes you want to try to figure out just who the murderer is. I have to admit, I missed it.  I love a good mystery and this is one of them. Some twists and turns keep your attention and make you want to read on. Great book by this author. Looking forward to the next book in the series.

Well written mystery with lovable characters. Just enough angst to keep things interesting.  I couldn't stop reading.

Totally fresh and original characters. Engaging mystery. Strong, interesting writing style.

If you like mysteries then you really need to give this story a chance.  I was pulled in right from the beginning by both the characters and the mysteries woven through the story.  There are several OMG moments and I was surprised by how everything played out.  This is one story that would make a great series, and I plan on re-reading it soon.

A deliciously plotted murder mystery with a great cast of characters and believable relationships.

I thoroughly enjoyed this mystery. It was well written taking you into the imagination of a child who is handed an all too real mystery. With the twists and turns of plot and sub plots it keeps you guessing. A little slow in setting up, once it came together I couldn't put it down. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good mystery

An extremely well-written murder mystery with sophisticated analyses of medical procedures, psychological conditions and legal issues.  As a lawyer who practices divorce law, I was particularly impressed with how the author showed how the legal system can be biased in favor of women despite the fact that it is supposed to be impartial.
