shannny2k 's review for:
An Expert in Murder
by Nicola Upson
The mystery is good, the rest though....
The main character is bland and boring. She often wastes time by spending half a page thinking about, for example, what a waste of money first class is. Despite being the selling point in this series she also did almost none of the mystery solving. That's good for the reader though, giving us time with the investigator who has more personality.
As others have noted there's a lot of POV hoping, which I thought was done rather well. Some words are overused. Most annoyingly some things are kept a mystery for too long without particularly adding to the tension or suspense.
In the end I won't read another book in this series, but would consider another mystery by the author, if I enjoy the main character.
