review no 19: It never rains it pours by rosamond carter

21/12/2014

Kate is looking forward to some peace and quiet on her holiday to Bruny Island in Tasmania, but that idea is soon shattered when she discovers two bodies. Kate is tempted to keep walking and let someone else make the grisly find, but her conscience wins out and she calls the police. From that moment on she finds herself embroiled in a murder mystery that keeps on unraveling.

This is a decent murder mystery plot with many twists and turns that keep the story moving. Starting out fairly simply it develops many extra layers as it unravels, some of which I must admit I found a little bit confusing at times. But not so much that I lost track of the story. Kate is a likeable heroine and is a well developed character.
I really enjoyed the scenery and sense of place in this book. There are not many books set in beautiful Tasmania and the author has done a great job in transporting the reader there. It was a stunning contrast to the ugliness of the murders and the ongoing investigation.

There were a few formatting/editing issues with my particular kindle copy but these may well have been corrected in the months since.

Overall an interesting story set in a beautiful location and a nice variation from more mainstream crime books set in a major city.

    Why Review?

    It wasn't until I became an author that I came to realise the true value of book reviews. It is the single best way of getting your book out there in the world.

    Reviews do not have to be long and detailed - just a short summary of your thoughts on the book and a rating is enough to help other readers discover new
    authors.

    Major global sites like Amazon and Goodreads can give unknown authors a huge leg up in being discovered. So if you enjoy a book why not take a moment to leave a review?
