Welcome to the book tour for, Season for Murder! Book 3 in the "A FitzMorris Family Mystery" series! Readers who adore cozy mystery novels with fun and engaging characters are not going to want to miss out on this delightful novel!
A Season for Murder by Anna A. Armstrong is sure to be a favorite of yours before you even reach the end of this novel. Readers who are new to this author will find delight in every page, and a nice dose of humor sprinkled throughout. A killer is on the loose, but there will be no "discovering" who they are and guessing games. No, the killer is known from the beginning, instead it's a game of guessing..."how long will they run free before they are finally brought to justice?"
A Season for Murder is the first book that this reader has read by author Armstrong, but by the time I was halfway through this book I knew that I was officially a new fan. LOL!
A Season for Murder is an absolutely delightful novel set in a small town in England. You're dropped into a cemetary where a killer is plotting murder. And not just one...no, the killer has already committed one, and she intends to commit more if it will get her to her goal. Funnily enough, the goal benefits her by proxy! She craves approval, and status, and this...this goal will get her exactly that...in a round-about way.
There is so much drama to be found in this book and it is absolutely delightful. There are close calls with near deaths of characters, romance is brewing between multiple couples, and holiday gatherings to prepare for. Tristan, Vivian's godson, is coming home with an unexpected companion. Look out! Because Vivian is not going to be pleased and Tristan unwittingly adds a new name to her already lengthy list of people to give the "boot." Poor Emily deserves better than Tristan's attempts at thwarting his godmother concerning him getting married.
Of course, hilarity ensues in more situations than not. Some are truly hilarious and will have you literally laughing out loud. One in particular is when Vivian is told by Emily, Tristan's "fake fiance" that she's allergic to shellfish. Vivian, absolutely outraged, demands that Emily eat them anyways! One might be "naive" enough to chalk it up to "shock" but it's honestly jaw-droppingly hilarious. Look out folks! Vivian is unhinged and dangerous! LOL!
The storyline is well-written and will keep readers engaged from beginning to end. This book can be read as a standalone, so readers who haven't read the previous book will find that this novel is easy to read and enjoy on it's own. There are hints dropped here and there of previous incidents in the other books, but it doesn't take away from the enjoyability of this novel.
The characters, overall, are enjoyable. The characters that the author wants you to like or love are easily likeable. Dee is an especially enjoyable character. She's bright, energetic, easy-going, and very considerate of others. She's definitely someone you would love to have in your life. That's for sure! LOL! The characters that the author wants readers to dislike is absolutely spot on. Vivian comes off as a quiet evil. Of course, blatant evil gets found out quicker, so she does an excellent job at keeping her evil acts under wraps and playing "innocent" for as long as possible. Another character readers will love to hate will be Victoria. Young, beautiful, member of an influential family, she's got a thing for Tristan, and wastes no time working to humiliate poor Emily.
This book is an absolute delight from beginning to end. You won't be able to get enough of these characters. The author gives readers a satisfying ending for the present circumstances, while still leaving us eager for more of Cotswold. I know that this reader will be eagerly begging for more future books and adventures with Dee FitzMorris and her friends and family!
5 out of 5 stars
