Kate Wells spins another engrossing tale in A Midsummer Murder, as Jude Gray, most reluctantly finds herself involved in trying to solve another murder, that of Inigo Sage, a well-known Spiritualist and as it turns out, charismatic charlatan.
Malvern Farm has been busy since Easter and Jude is looking forward to a little quieter time, as her sister Lucy is under pressure with the purchase of her new home, Kerry her friend and helper at the camping grounds, is also facing change in her life once again and she is also enjoying the time spent with Marco as they both enjoy their new relationship.
Kerry and her boyfriend George are about to launch George’s first health retreat at Oakley Park, a lovely old home he and his brother inherited upon the death of their grandmother. Inigo Sage is to be the draw card and will be staying with his small family, at Oakley Park.
Midsummer is the time of the Solstice, which is the focus of the event, but they are only hours into the first night when Kerry becomes badly frightened, believing someone is out to kill George.
And so begins a weekend of what will soon become a series of very vexatious issues which eventually lead to murder; not one but two, both of which look like accidents but simply are not!
As Jude and the Police work together to try and make sense out of what appears to be senseless killings they discover there are tendrils that go back to a past which involves the drowning death of a young man; a friend of George, Henry and Nevaeh, Inigo’s daughter.
Once again, a gripping, well-constructed and carefully plotted murder mystery comes to life as the Jude and the team, do their best to get to the bottom of a tragedy without destroying George and Kerry’s dream of running a Wellness Centre.
A Midsummer Murder is highly recommended for a little time out on the couch, doing something all cozy murder fans love to do, try to solve a very complex murder before the very last page is reached.
