A Beginner’s Guide to Murder - Rosalind Stopps
I received an advance review copy for free thanks to NetGalley and HarperCollins UK and I am leaving this review voluntarily
Grace, Meg and Daphne, all in their seventies, are minding their own business while enjoying a cup of tea in a café, when seventeen-year-old Nina stumbles in. She’s clearly distraught and running from someone, so the three women think nothing of hiding her when a suspicious-looking man starts asking if they’ve seen her.
Once alone, Nina tells the women a little of what she’s running from. The need to protect her is immediate, and Grace, Meg and Daphne vow to do just this. But how? They soon realise there really is only one answer: murder.
Well this was a quirky read! I was enthralled and read the majority of this book in one sitting. In a heartwarming way three women who barely know each other join up to save a 17 year old from the abuse she is constantly suffering.
An entertaining read with lots of character, completed by a lovely cast of characters. Due to the themes covered in the book, in places it was a little uncomfortable to read, but there are lighter moments and glimpses of humour.
Rating 4/5
