Book Review:
Motive for Murder
This one is a definite
favourite! Carol J. Post’s Motive for
Murder is a perfect blend of look-over-your-shoulder suspense and sweet,
tension-filled romance.
As part of Harlequin’s
inspirational romantic suspense line it should be equal parts romance and
suspense, but that’s also a warning to any reader who might be expecting sexy
bedroom times. But this story doesn’t
lack any of the emotion complication romances have.
More of a whydunit than
a whodunit, the identity of the killer is revealed early on so don’t let that
stop you from reading.
The pacing is steadily
divided between the clues towards the whydunit mystery and the growing romance between
Jess and Shane. Dialogue and introspection is well-balanced, and the whole
story moved towards a natural climax (which I’m not sharing, so Go Read The
Book).
All I disliked was Jess’
coldness towards her sister even in death and her reaction after one of the
secondary characters, Lexi, experiences this really horrible event that causes
her significantly understandable trauma.
My verdict:
✮✮✮✮.5
(4.5 stars)
