Getaway with murder by Leo McNeir
The Marnie Walker MysteriesBook 1.
The first published volume in the Marnie Walker series finds her caught up in a story of bigotry and persecution enduring across hundreds of years. Getaway with Murder tells of two murders separated by an interval of almost exactly 350 years. To some of those involved it seems as if they might have been committed by the same person, with the same hatred. Impossible? Perhaps not.
A very good read with good characters. A great start to a new series. 4*.

In Getaway with Murder, Marnie Walker wants a change in her life so she purchases a farmhouse in Northhamptonshire and starts her own interior decorating business. She now lives in a small, but on the surface happy little town. This is of course a murder mystery so appearances aren't everything.
There's a lot of great twists and turns and the story is well written but starts very slowly, but it is certainly worth the wait.

I didn't realise how long this book was when I first started reading it, but I hung in there. I enjoyed meeting the characters and the locations - I live in Brackley so was familiar with many of the towns. I thought the story was good but really felt it could have been cut down quite a bit even though I like the style of the writing.

I found the book rather tedious and quit reading it. Sorry!
