Murder on Line One
by Jeremy Vine
Unable to cope after a devastating tragedy and having been subsequently let go from his job, late night radio talk show host Edward Temmis is trying to move on. He then meets Stevie, whose grandmother, a devoted listener, died in a suspicious fire last year, which the pair starts investigating, discovering Stevie's grandmother wasn't the only one of his listeners who was targeted.
I went into this book with such high expectations, but they weren't met. Honestly, it has everything it needs to have for me to like it, which makes this very conflicting, but I still feel like it lacked something. It took me a while to fully get into the story, and the first half felt very slow, and it was hard for me to connect, and even after that it alternated moments where I was hooked, and moments where I wasn't at all. The pacing felt all over the place, and it felt very repetitive at times. I will say I did enjoy some bits and pieces of it, and the characters were enjoyable to follow. Overall, I think it just wasn't for me, but I really do think there is potential, and I do think some people might really like it.
Many thanks to HarperCollins UK, HarperFiction & NetGalley for the eARC. All opinions are my own.
