An Expert in Murder by Nicola Upson - My Thoughts

An Expert in Murder  - Nicola Upson

So it wasn't my favourite mystery that I've read in the past while, but it wasn't bad at all.  I think I had trouble with too many POVs.  It felt like the author wanted us to have the POV of everyone who was a suspect.  Which gave the book a certain depth, I think, but made it a bit of a slog for me.  Also... it was touted as a Josephine Tey mystery, but we certainly didn't see a lot of her solving the mystery.  It was much more Archie Penrose mystery, I think.  Archie being Josephine's good friend and a police inspector.  

 

I wasn't certain who the murder was until it unfolded on the page and that's always a plus.  I thought it was someone else.  What annoys me is that the author never tells us what happened to that someone else, like she does with most of the other 'suspects'.  

 

So, while not a favourite, should the next in the series be on sale, I will pick it up.
