A Meditation on Murder
by Robert Thorogood
I couldn’t have wished more from a book based on one of my favourite TV shows! It had everything from on screen, perfectly translated onto page in the form of a fantastic whodunnit story that captured all the brilliance of Death in Paradise.
It was great to rejoin Detective Inspector Richard Poole and team, solving one of their cases of intrigue and mystery in the idyllic tropical island of Saint Marie.
The story was gripping from the get go (as it most often is on screen) laying foundations for a set of circumstances that didn’t add up at the scene of the crime. A confession to murder that didn’t make sense, the victim whom everybody seemed to like and the mysteries of a drawing pin in a room locked from the inside where the murder took place.... definitely had me hooked!
Aptly named ‘The meditation on murder’ I loved the plot - a health retreat where the unlikeliest of gruesome murders would have taken place where the spiritual figure of Aslan Kennedy came to his end. I was certainly at a loss to figure out what happened.. good job DI Richard was on the case!
All the characters were gloriously portrayed, in a funny, Agatha Christie style mystery with all the sun, sand, beaches (and murder!) that you’d expect from the show.
Fantastic book and really well written by Robert Thorogood.
