Murder At Midnight Series: An Alex Simpson Mystery, Book 1 By John Ukah
This story starts out with Alex and he's arriving at the Lodge to recuperate from Typhoid fever.
He has been there before and felt it was home to him. Last time two people had died. He is immediately introduced to several who are also there.
He meets the mother and daughter later as they sit to have dinner. It's a small collection of people and they have their quirks with one another.
Maria, Alex thinks is in love with one if not more of the men and is trying to escape her mother. She had lost her spouse in a car crash and is left with cruces to get around.
Love that she knits, I do also and find it calming.
Maria approached John and told him of her getting the letters of a love affair and she's not sure what to do with them.
Shortly after we find she's been killed and nobody knows who. John used to be a cop and all of them come to him to tell him of why they think they possibly had killed her accidentally.
John digs and finds out so much more information about them all and the real cops are there to investigate. Another person comes down really sick and others think it's rat poison mixed in with cocoa.
I like mysteries and am usually very far off guessing who did it. This was the same although I remembered some secrets to some clues but was no help to me in the long run.
Really enjoy this series and hope to get to read more from this author. Very detailed descriptions, would make a good movie also!
Received this review copy from the publisher and this is my honest opinion.
