Not for me...

Having been to the Lake District many times, I had high hopes for this book but unfortunately it didn't live up to my expectations. It was a bit pedestrian.

Nice to read something else by John Bude, who also wrote The Cornish Coast Murder. The Lake District setting is engaging, and we got a lot of detail into Inspector Meredith’s dogged investigation.

The link to the review will be added once the review has been finalised.

As stated in the introduction, this book is more of a "howdunit" than a "whodunit". The beginning and ending were fine, but I struggled through most of the middle of the story.
