📚 Book Review 📚
Murder in the Library by Anita Davison
I received an advance review copy for free thanks to Rachel's Random Resources and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
Blurb
A body in a hospital isn't so unusual. Unless they've been murdered!
1916, Keen to support the war effort, bookshop manager and sometime amateur sleuth Hannah Merrill has taken a volunteer role in the library of the nearby military hospital.
But arriving at the hospital one cold winter's morning, she is horrified to find the body of a dead soldier in the library.
What's more, a beautiful young nurse confides in Hannah that she thinks she's being followed, and then she abruptly disappears.
Hannah can't shake the suspicion that the two cases are connected, but she can't solve the case alone. She'll once again need to call upon her delightful, demanding, only-occasionally devious aunt, Violet.
The two women know they must find the missing nurse before it's too late… but they don't realise they're now both in the killer's sights.
My Opinion
This is the second book in the series but it would be possible to read this one as a standalone. I have to say that I would recommend staying away from anywhere Hannah is around books, trouble seems to follow her around.
I found myself picking up this book to read a few pages and ended up putting it down a few chapters later. I also ending up reading this when I had jobs that I was supposed to be doing, including getting ready to leave for work. I am trying to work on reading more historical fiction and this series makes it so easy. Anita Davison has such a lovely writing style that the plots just flows by before you know it.
This was such an enjoyable read that I am awaiting details of the next book in the series.
Rating 4/5
