Book Review – Murder At The Inn by Penelope Sotheby

There is a murder at the inn!!!

   Naturally, I love detective and crime stories, so when I got this short novella of just 42 pages, I was so excited to read and I tell you it was worth reading.

*

   Mrs Agatha Thompson was murdered in an inn owned by an old couple. This is to be expected because the title is Murder at the Inn, but the fact that the suspects of the murder are unlike some other books that will be easily visible to you makes the book enticing.

   There is Daniel and Maureen, the old couple; there is susan, the help; there is larry, Mrs thompson’s acquaintance, there is Mr thompson, the husband and also mrs agatha’s sister, and then Inspector Jack, the detective who tries to match clues together and coalates facts to know for sure who had murdered mrs thompson.

 Books like this makes me feel like a detective, especially if you read a lot of crime and detective book, then at a certain place you would have guessed who the murderer was, though I wasn’t so sure myself until it was finally mentioned.

   The character I loved most was Inspector Jack, he is a unique kind of detective that keeps the murderer, the suspects, co-workers and the reader oblivious of what or who his clues are pointing at till the very last of the page.

  It is the kind of book you read in few hours, and then hope that it could be longer than 42 pages, I stayed glued to the pages of the book till the end and at the end I wanted more.

  I will rate this heart-thumping book 4/5 stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐ From the begining to the end, it captured my interest and I look forward to reading more of A cosy mystery series and A cosy Crime series.
