Murder at the Willows

⭐⭐⭐⭐

I recently finished reading Murder at the Willows by Jane A. Adams, and I must say it was a cracking good read. The story begins with the mysterious death of famous artist Elaine, who appeared to have passed away peacefully in her sleep while clutching a blue flower. However, upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that something more sinister is afoot.

Elaine's grandson hires Rina to investigate the case, leading her down a rabbit hole of shocking secrets stretching back over twenty years. As Rina delves deeper into the investigation, she soon realizes that there is more than meets the eye.

What I loved about this book was the excellent writing. As well as the well-paced plot that had plenty of twists and turns that kept me guessing until the very end. The characters were also likable, well developed, and realistic. Which added to my enjoyment.

Additionally, despite being part of a series, Murder at the Willows held up well as a standalone novel. Overall, I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for an engaging mystery with memorable characters and an intriguing plot.
