Brothers Ian and Will Ferguson deliver a brilliantly fun murder mystery with “I Only Read Murder.”
Miranda Abbott is a washed up, has-been actress, TV’s former Pastor Fran, who just won’t accept her reality. So when she receives a postcard summoning to her once, brief home in Oregon, she heads there quickly.
Soon she is pulled into the local theater troupe’s annual play, finding herself drawn into a real-life mystery. Will she be able to use her TV character’s skills to solve the case?
“I Only Read Murder” is a fun, quirky story filled with lots of twists and turns, keeping the reader guessing until the very end. Miranda is so obnoxious she’s lovable, and the rest of the town’s folk are equally delightful and mysterious. The authors do a wonderful job of developing a story that’s fun, suspenseful and will leave a smile on your face.
Fans of mysteries filled with quirky casts, like author Janice Hallett, the Charity Shop Detective Agency series by Peter Boland and the Thursday Murder Club series by Richard Osman will love “I Only Read Murder,” which is due out Feb. 27.
Five stars out of five.
