If
you’re in the mood for a suspense filled mystery then May Queen Killers is the
book for you. Set in a quaint little village, Agatha Christie style, the main
character, Jock, is a successful writer who is often compared to the mystery
queen. He’s currently working on his latest novel when a local shop owner and
current May Queen goes missing. Questions arise as to whether the accused May
Queen killer is actually dead or whether they had the wrong person all along.
Jock and a local drunk, Dylan, start digging up information about the previous
missing May queens and put their own lives in danger. With a plethora of
suspects and multiple twists and turns, I had no idea who the killer was until
it was revealed and even then there were still more twists. This was the
perfect cozy mystery with a little harder edge that I really loved. The
characters are quirky and true to village life. The story is fast-paced and
it’s hard to put the book down. I loved how the author showed the killer’s
viewpoint, easily evident by using italicized font. This is the perfect book
for a rainy afternoon or relaxing at the beach. My hope is that Jock will
become the main character in a series. My copy was a digital version and
formatted to my ereader well. The cover was particularly enticing and is what
first drew me to the book.
