Opening with a grisly murder scene, this whodunnit captures the entire small town of Fleetcombe, bringing a variety of characters to life as secrets come to life in the wake of the death. I appreciated the historic ties & the way the plot keeps you guessing, but the ultimate revelations relied more on telling than showing & the motive felt rather thin. Steadily paced — if a bit on the slower side— I just didn‘t love this one as much as I expected!
