Review: Murder at Enderley Hall
Murder at Enderley Hall by Helena Dixon
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Having read and enjoyed Murder at the Dolphin Hotel so much, I was thrilled to get an ARC of Murder at Enderley Hall via NetGalley.
I felt right at home the moment I started reading. Helena Dixon is one of those writers who write so well that I immediately feel comfortable and relaxed, and the story just flows. I was really pleased that Matt is in this adventure as well as Kitty, I like them both so much. They are complex, believable characters who seem very real.
The story held my attention throughout, apart from one brief section where there were a lot of “interviewing the suspects/witnesses” scenes in a row. Fortunately, we moved on to other scenes before I got fed up. I was also slightly disappointed that Kitty wasn’t as involved in investigating as much in the first half of the book. This was mostly because she wasn’t in the interview scenes. However, these were both very minor niggles, that wouldn’t even get mentioned if the rest of the book wasn’t so very good!
In conclusion, it was a joy to return to two favourite characters, meet a number of new ones, and solve another fun mystery with them. I can’t wait to read the next one, and see how things develop between Kitty and Matt (as well as enjoy another excellent murder mystery, of course).
