Murder on the Sea Witch: A Redmond and Haze Mystery

Redmond and Haze Mysteries, Book 7

De: Irina Shapiro

Narrado por: Wendy Wolfson

When the body of a renowned British archeologist is found inside a sarcophagus he was bringing back from a dig in Egypt, Redmond and Haze must determine who aboard the Sea Witch had reason to want him dead. The method of murder suggests it was someone familiar with the funerary rites of the Ancient Egyptians, casting suspicion on members of the expedition, but there were others aboard the vessel who might have harbored a grudge against Blake Upton for reasons unconnected to the dig.

Confronted with professional jealousy, affairs of the heart, simmering resentment, and corrosive blame, Redmond and Haze must solve the case before the killer strikes again.

Perfect for fans of C.S. Harris and Anne Perry.

Excellent

Wowza. This was a good one. The only story so far I got a clue but it took awhile. Excellent premise and interesting characters!!

Solid Entertainment

I thoroughly enjoy all Irina Shapiro’s works. I particularly like the Redmond and Haze series. The great thing about reading any good series of books is that you begin each book knowing you’re going to like the characters…you’re visiting friends!

This series has me hooked

On the 7th in the series and I have yet to be let down by it. Oddly I have to say one of my favorite things about them is that they don’t spend a lot of time reviewing the previous books, it makes the assumption that you have read it, and if you have not then it’s on you to read it, which I find refreshing, hate reading the same thing over and over book after book as refreshers.

I hope that the rest of the series is just as good as the previous books have been. Great writing, wonderful characters with very interesting backgrounds and the impact of those pasts on the characters like Jason developing diabetes due to his time as a prisoner of war.

Keep up the good work, both the writer and narrator, for the characters can be written well but if poorly performed by a narrator, will ruin an audible experience very quickly, thankfully this is not the case here, quite the opposite to be honest.

Murder on the Sea Witch

A great regency period murder mystery by Irish Shapiro. A body found stuffed into an Egyptian sarcophagus just unloaded from the Ship the Sea Witch upon its return to England is discovered at the museum. Interesting with twists and unexpected turns.

Good read or listen!

The story was captivating and the performance was okay. I would recommend Irina Shapiro to anyone looking for a solid historical mystery.

Murder and curses

I loved this historical whodunit staring Captain Jason Redmond and Inspector Daniel Haze. Like the other books in the series, it had a layered storyline, an intriguing mystery, surprising plot twists, and suspense. I couldn’t put it down until they wrapped up the case. Jason and Daniel are portrayed as real, relatable and complex people who have flaws and scars, but are really just trying to do their best as messy humans. Captain Jason Redmond is an American surgeon who is currently living in England after inheriting the estate and title of his grandfather. He and his wife have just had their first child and they have plans to move to London. Daniel Haze is now working as a detective inspector in London for Scotland Yard. His wife, Sarah, and his daughter are still back in Birch Hill. The couple is having difficulty after Sarah’s choices against the man responsible for their first son’s death. Daniel requests Jason’s help in London when a murder victim is discovered when a sarcophagus is unloaded from a recently docked ship. The investigation leads Daniel and Jason to unlikely places, many dead ends, and surprising revelations. As always, there are smaller side personal story arcs which enrich the main plot line and give the characters greater dimension. The story was well written and included engaging dialogue, three dimensional characters, and a captivating storyline. I am excited to continue reading to this series.

Wendy Wolfson did a phenomenal job narrating the story and characters into life with enough change of inflection, tone and cadence to voice multiple characters quite convincingly.

Suspenseful

I enjoy every one of her books! She is a great storyteller! Can’t wait until the next one.

enjoyed it!

Great narrator. I enjoyed listening to this very much. the series is engaging. writing is spot on. good characters and swtring

Always a fun listen

I have listened to the series from the start and each one has kept my attention to the end. This was quite an unusual type of murder and quite fascinating. The manner of death was a new one indeed! And as always the book ends on a cliffhanger.

Riveting

Another splendid whodunit that keeps you guessing. An horrific murder where the victims brains were extracted through the nasal passage and the body placed in a peaceful repose in a sarcophagus. Daniel still estranged from Sarah, a list of suspects, and no clear-cut motive(s). A truly riveting read.
