Hi Cara,
Today on my blog I am reviewing The Murder Box by Olivia Kiernan. The Murder Box is book 4 in the Frankie Sheehan series. The other book in the series are;
Some games can be deadly
At first, Detective Chief Superintendent Frankie Sheehan believes the murder mystery game sent to her office is a birthday gift from one of her colleagues. But when Frankie studies the game's contents, she notices a striking resemblance between the 'murder victim' and missing twenty-two-year-old Lydia Callin.
As Frankie and her team investigate, a series of grisly crimes connected to the game are discovered across Dublin city and Lydia's involvement with a shadowy network of murder mystery players becomes clear.
On the hunt for Lydia's murderer, Frankie is drawn more deeply into the game. Every successful move brings her closer to the killer. But the real question is not what happens should she lose -- but what happens if she wins.
(Synopsis from Goodreads.com)
The Murder Box is a murder mystery 'game' in a murder mystery book.
As someone that has subscribed to a murder mystery box previously, I loved the premise of The Murder box. The way the boxes were put together, the clue left and how it connects to the current case Frankie was working on.
There is always something going on, meaning there isn't a dull moment. As the book is told mainly from Frankie POV, I sometimes feel the stress she is under.
Something has been building between two of the character since book 1, and a moment happens. I hoping this is built on in the next books.
I love the twist, turns and politics in The Murder Box.
My Rating for The Murder Box is 4.5 out of 5.
