Stephanie Jane recenzis Twelve To Murder de Lauren Carr

One of my favourite Mac Faradays

5 steloj

This seventh novel in Lauren Carr's 'Mac Faraday' series is one of my favourites. Perhaps not quite surpassing her newest installment, Shadow Of Murder, but still a very satisfying and entertaining read. I love how each Mac Faraday mystery manages to feel different from its predecessors so the books don't become at all repetitive and that's exactly the case here with our hero, Gnarly the German Shepherd dog, and Mac Faraday finding themselves drawn in to a tense hostage situation - one of the most original hostage scenes I think I've ever read! You'll have to read it yourself to find out why that is.

Keeping up with all the twists and turns in Twelve To Murder was quite a feat and, at one point I wasn't sure that anyone's statements were wholly believable - except perhaps Bernie and Hap of course whose life requirements are pretty straightforward, beer and …

Keeping up with all the twists and turns in Twelve To Murder was quite a feat and, at one point I wasn't sure that anyone's statements were wholly believable - except perhaps Bernie and Hap of course whose life requirements are pretty straightforward, beer and more beer. I think that Twelve To Murder introduces this quirky pair who will play cameo roles in future books (yes, I'm reading the series out of order!) There's a satisfying blend of genres in this novel. The mystery takes centre stage, supported by humour and a little romance too. It makes for a pretty compelling novel and one that kept me (metaphorically) on my toes from the first page to the last.
