#TheRailwayMurders #JREllis #BookSpinBingo

A puzzling locked-room mystery that puts someone Oldroyd loves in terrible danger. One of the film‘s stars has been shot dead in a train carriage while the cameras rolled outside. Scouring the victim‘s past for clues, Oldroyd soon unearths a string of heartbroken lovers and a mountain of unpaid debts, each adding to the growing list of suspects. This was not my first book in this series.

EadieB I have also read book 1 of the series which was a great introduction to the series. I enjoyed this book as much as book 1. This book was a locked-room mystery which was most interesting and really threw them a curve ball. I did enjoy the beginning of each chapter where they described different movies with railways in them. In the end, the mystery was solved and I was satisfied how the book turned out. 2y
EadieB If you like locked-room mysteries then you will love this book. I would like to thank Thomas and Mercer and NetGalley for a copy for an honest review. 2y

Murder at St Anne's | J. R. Ellis

#MurderAtStAnnes #JREllis #DashingDecember

This book is set in Yorkshire UK and is the 7th book of the series. A woman rector is found bludgeoned to death in her own church. A local superstition blames the ghost of a medieval monk believed to haunt the building. DCI Jim Oldroyd takes on the case with his assistant, Sergeant Andy Carter. Has Oldroyd really found himself in the midst of a Gothic ghost story or is there a very real killer at large?

EadieB I never read this author before but I did enjoy his writing. He gave interesting details about the Church of England and why men should be in charge of running the church. Many of the well-developed characters were suspects and they kept me guessing who the murderer was. There were a few twists that I didn't see coming. 2y
EadieB I look forward to reading more from this author. If you like British mysteries, then I am sure you would enjoy this one. Thanks to NetGalley and Thomas and Mercer for a free copy for an honest review. 2y
