The young man seemed ill at ease. 'Is there something wrong?'
Mm well... yes, in fact his library books.'
'What?'
"Well, he must have had two out, he always did....'

Even a murder doesn't let him off those overdue fees??

Ugh, nope. 👎 Made it 55% and then skimmed enough to see who dunnit and promptly returned the book to the library. I wanted very much to like the MC but just could NOT.
Please do not set me up for a mystery set in a New England small town - on an ISLAND, for godssake - and have me believe that everyone doesn‘t know what everyone else is up to.
And don‘t even get me started on the use of “ayuh” accents. 🙄
My towering TBR awaits! 📚

The atmosphere is great but the story isn‘t as complete as i would like.

This book was flat and hard to follow. It never seemed to pick up any steam, just plodded along.

A great read. Tense from the start, like a slow-burning fuse. This is book 15 and although I‘ve not read them in order it may be one of the best I‘ve read so far. #sohocrime #billyboyle
