Greta Boris's newest offering is in a totally different, to me at least, format. It is written as the first episode of a true crime podcast called Murders Under the Sun, "a podcast that takes a trip to the dark side of sunny Southern California" It is set in a beautiful old house on a cliff above the ocean. It is the dream listing for real estate agent Gwen. Just one problem-the last realtor to list it was killed in the house, or by the house perhaps. The story starts with the podcast host narrating as good hosts do and giving us background on each chapter. Then we hear the story from Gwen's point of view, and finally we get insights from the killer's memoir(never before published). All that's missing is the dramatic music. You will have to imagine that yourself. The chapters end on cliffhangers, keeping the reader interested but the book itself is not a cliffhanger. This series is a bit of a departure for Ms Boris, less cozy mystery but still without explicit sex, violence and language. I enjoyed the format and the story and anxiously await the next episode of the podcast.
