The Murders at Fleat House: A compelling mystery from the author of the million-copy bestselling The Seven Sisters series

Product Information

La protagonista Jazz es una policía que ha pasado una temporada retirada del cuerpo de policía debido a un problema personal. Me ha parecido bastante real, con problemas cotidianos y una forma de pensar y actuar coherente con el desarrollo. Los demás personajes son satélites a su alrededor, ninguno es destacable desde mi punto de vista. Quizás la psicóloga es la que merece mención ya que es bastante peculiar. The atmospheric scene is set almost instantly in an English boarding school. The scene is further set with descriptions of the Norfolk countryside, from the marshes to the villages by the sea.

I am so sad that Lucinda has passed on. Her books are so good. I really loved the foreword and afterword by her son. With likeable, complex characters and a fast-paced plot, this is a cleverly woven mystery to savour

Then a particularly grim discovery at the school makes this the most challenging murder investigation of her career. Because Fleat House hides secrets darker than even Jazz could ever have imagined… The death of Lucinda Riley from cancer at the age of only 56 last year truly is a tragedy - not just for her family, but for the Bookloving World - she was at the height of her success with the Seven Sisters series, and who knows what else she would’ve gone on to write. This, her only crime novel, was written in 2006, and while complete, was not “finished”. Her son, Harry Whittaker, a writer himself, explains in the foreword that his dilemma was whether to publish it as it was, or rewrite and update it. He chose to honour his mother by leaving it unchanged, which I respect, but it means that this is not as good as it could’ve been with comprehensive editing and correction of various mistakes. She was such a compelling story-teller however, that this was still a very enjoyable mystery. As snow covers the landscape and another suspect goes missing, Jazz must also confront her personal demons... Me ha sorprendido para bien esta novela. Había leído otras obras de Lucinda y no vamos a descubrir ahora lo bien que escribe. En esta temática no me la imaginaba para nada. Lo ha bordado. Lástima que no haya podido escribir más. Hubiera dado para una serie y seguro que habría sido un éxito.

I could really envision the location. And what I particularly liked was knowing that Lucinda’s family lived in the area while she was writing the book. In fact, some of her children attended a school similar to the one portrayed in the book. blogtour Adventure Ancient Egypt Art History Australia Book Blogger Bookliterati Book Recommendation Book review Christmas Contemporary Fiction Crime Del Rey Doubleday Emmeline Kirby and Gregory Longdon Mystery Fantasy Festive Reads Florence Folklore Harper Collins Historical Fiction History Independently Published Italy Karen Swan Literary Fiction Magic Mantle Books Melville House Murder Mystery Myth Orenda Books Pan Macmillan Penguin Random House Psychological thriller Romance Secrets Simon and Schuster Supernatural Suspense thriller Venice Women's Fiction Zaffre Books Book title Search for: Search Search Recent Comments Many thanks to Net Galley, AuthorBuzz, and the author for a chance to read and review this book.
