A Simple Murder by Eleanor Kuhns
3.0
7/16/14 - Won this on Goodreads.
7/27/14 - Received this book.
8/17/14 - Finished this book today. It was an interesting read and started out really well; however, I'd kinda lost interest and felt all the connections were so convoluted and stretched by the end that I couldn't really "get" who was who and how the murder ended up being. Plus, the sexual orientation of the first murdered girl and the way people talked just didn't seem to ring true to me for what I thought 1795 should be like. Then the ending I was frustrated with because so much was hinted at between Rees and Lydia and then it was a handshake. However, there are 2 more books with these characters, so I'm sure that's why the author left it that way. If I come across the other books in the series, I would probably pick them up to finish out knowing more about Rees, David and Lydia, but I struggled to enjoy this book towards the end.
