Manor of Dying

A Hamptons Home & Garden Mystery, Book 4

De: Kathleen Bridge

Narrado por: Vanessa Daniels

In a new Hamptons Home & Garden Mystery, Meg Barrett will have to uncover the truth about a long-ago murder before a killer decides she's history . . .

When decorator Meg Barrett travels to a remote mansion to help select period pieces for a new 1930s-style television mystery series, she's chilled to learn that the manor was once a mental asylum and the site of a mysterious decades-old murder. And when a fierce blizzard knocks out the power and strands Meg and her cohorts in the home's rickety old elevator, they emerge to discover that another person has been murdered—in the same macabre manner as the original victim.

With a suspect list limited to those who were also stranded at the manor, Meg begins digging through their backgrounds for clues to both the old and new murder, trying to discover a connection that will lead her to the culprit's identity. But the more she learns, the more clear it becomes that someone wants to keep the secrets of the past buried, and Meg knows she'll have to watch her back before a ruthless killer decides to commit her to a grisly fate . . .

4 stars

Manor of Dying is an ok mystery. The characters are engaging but the pacing of the story is a bit slow sometimes. The one thing that really bothers me about this book is that Meg constantly talks about her hearing disability. The audience already knows about it so when she keeps bringing it up, it makes it seem like she has a hang up about it.
