Death at Thorburn Hall book review

Death at Thorburn hall

by Julianna Deering

Drew Farthering got invited in his cousin's house -LadyRainsby - to get a chance to see the 1935 British Open when he finds himself facing a new mystery; Lord Rainsby had fallen dead after a day from requesting Drew to investigate some suspicious behaviors done by one of his friends.

The house is filled with strangers and loved ones who are all under suspicion.

This was my first Drew Farthering mystery story I've ever read, and I quite like it. It was very complicated and challenging puzzle to crack, until the very end I didn't get why or who had done it because everyone seemed to have a motive that wasn't strong enough and an alibi that didn't make sense. There were a number unpredictable events that took place in the story; I liked the not knowing part of Count Kuznetsov was Hilarious, I couldn't get enough of Kuznetsov and Farthering exchanged sarcasm.

My down point with this book that there was too much cliché between Drew and Madeline, and Nick and Carrie. To the point that I started to imagine the sort of conversation that will be going between them the next time they meet. "I Miss you; I love you, I don't know what will I do without you." It irritated me.

Overall I enjoyed this book I would like the chance to go back and read the previous books because like I said the mystery was quite puzzling. It had spies and family and sports. And who doesn't like a novel set in the 1930s?

3.5 stars
