The Secret Life and Curious Death of Miss Jean Milne | Andrew Nicoll
1 post | 3 read | 3 to read
ADVENTURE / THRILLER. A woman murdered. A crime unsolved. A mystery that has lasted a century. A hundred years ago, the true story of the brutal murder of Miss Jean Milne in a small seaside town captured the imagination of the whole country. A wealthy spinster who lived alone in a crumbling mansion, Miss Milne appeared to be the very model of respectability. But, behind the facade, Miss Milne was living a secret life. For a century, her murder has gone unsolved. Why was this quiet spinster tied up in her own home, tortured and brutally murdered? Who could have committed such a heinous crime in this quiet little town? Now, using newly-released evidence from police files, eye witness testimony hidden for a century and long forgotten newspaper reports from the scene, Andrew Nicoll has brought the case back from the dead to reveal the secrets of the little town where Jean Milne was murdered - the little town where he has spent his life.

A classic whodunit, part of the intrigue of this book is its grounding in a real murder case. Based on media reports and police files from the actual investigation, it feels very real, which is part of what kept my interest in this book for so long. It did begin to wear out its welcome towards the end, and it is very obvious where the true story ends and the imagination of the author begins, but the ‘reveal‘ remained a top-notch jaw-drop moment.
