Review
There has been a murder. Vera is called in to investigate. But, it is not as cut and dried as she first thought. The evidence keeps leading her back to a night 50 years ago. The night a group of friends meet for their regular evening on Holy Island. But, someone died that night as well! Can Vera unravel all the deceptions and solve this case?
As most of y’all know, I do not write bad reviews. It is hard work to write a book. So, I try not to damage an author’s hard work based on my opinion. But, this author is just not for me. This is the 3rd book by her that I have read and I am just not a fan.
This story just went on and on. It has quite a few characters and it just seemed to be stuck in the middle for a while and never went anywhere. And for the life of me, I do not know why I did not DNF. I guess, I kept hoping there would be a twist..nope!
The narrator, Janine Birkett, did a good job with what she had to work with. She is probably the reason I completed this book
I received this novel from the publisher for a honest review.
