The Mystery of Four by Sam Blake: 'Wonderful murder mystery that even includes a cat!'


AMAZON BLURB


Murder is easy ... when it doesn't look like murder

Tess Morgan has finally made her dream of restoring beautiful Kilfenora House and Gardens into a reality.

But during rehearsals for the play that forms the opening weekend's flagship event, her dream turns into a nightmare when a devastating accident looks set to ruin her carefully laid plans.

There are rumours that Kilfenora House is cursed, but this feels personal, and becomes increasingly terrifying when more than one body is discovered. Could someone be closing in on Tess herself?

Clarissa Westmacott, ex star of stage and screen, certainly believes so, particularly when she learns that purple-flowered aconite has been picked from the Poison Garden. And Clarissa will stop at nothing to protect the friend she has come to see as a daughter...

MY THOUGHTS


A brilliantly twisty thriller featuring three of my favourite things – a amateur sleuth, dead bodies, and a cat! This was an utterly compelling murder mystery. It was a smooth read with a perfectly plotted clever story, with small references to Agatha Christie. I read it all in one go, mainly that was because the author crafted the story without unnecessary padding and I had fallen in love with Merlin, the cat who popped in and out to pass judgement on various characters - fantastic addition.
