A Halloween Murder by Mary Grand

Hello my cozy friends, 

Today I am reviewing “A Halloween Murder” by Mary Grand the 4th instalment in the "The Isle of Wight Killings" series.  I enjoyed this book it’s a fun mystery.  I will definitely read this author again.

A BRAND NEW spooky murder mystery, from Mary Grand, the NUMBER ONE BESTSELLING author of A Christmas Murder 

Susan has always taken comfort in the peaceful rhythm of life on the Isle of Wight. But when her daughter Zoe invites her to a Halloween ghost walk at a remote castle, Susan has a sense of foreboding she can’t quite shake. 

It’s meant to be a bit of fun for the group of old school friends, the thrill of an overnight stay behind the castle’s ancient gates. But when one of them is found dead, the weekend away takes a sinister turn. With the castle locked down and the group trapped inside, it soon becomes clear the killer would have been amongst them. 

As the police begin their investigation, Susan can’t stand by and watch. She knows her daughter, and she knows Zoe’s friends – none of them could be capable of such a terrible act. Could they? 

A gripping cosy mystery from the number one bestselling author of A Christmas Murder, perfect for fans of Frances Evesham, Faith Martin and LJ Ross.

This book is perfect for a Halloween atmospheric mystery. Set in a creepy castle on All Hallows' Eve, the story follows Susan, who's invited on a ghost walk by her daughter Zoe. However, the reunion takes a deadly turn when one of the group is found dead at the bottom of the tower.

The mystery is expertly crafted, with just the right number of suspects to keep you guessing. The twists and turns are plentiful, and I didn't see the culprit coming. The castle setting adds to the spooky atmosphere, making it a great fit for a Halloween story.

Susan is a relatable protagonist who's had to start over after her husband left her. She's built a new life, made friends, and discovered a talent for solving mysteries. Her character growth in this story is compelling, and I appreciate that she's not static – she's complex and multi-dimensional.

 This book is a great choice for fans of cozy mysteries and Halloween-themed stories.
