Murder in the Lakes by Rachel Amphlett

4 Stars from me

Fab book – loved this nice tight story set in one central location keeping the tension high and stakes higher!

I enjoyed meeting Melody Harper and while the undercover task is a little bit of a stretch on reality, the story itself was great and hugely readable. Rachel Amphlett has done a great job of creating a really likeable lead character and I hope this is to be the beginning of a series of thrillers following Melody as she hones her skills.

The concept of pre-wedding investigator was intriguing too – what a strange world we live in!

There was a gentle sense of mild peril and this book is perfect for fans of the cosier edge of crime thrillers, making it an ideal book to curl up with on a peaceful weekend.

Utterly in love with the cover of this book too, it’s beautiful🔥

My thanks to the author and Zooloos Book Tours for letting me be a part of this blog tour.

Blurb: Fledgling private detective Melody Harper is down on her luck and nursing a black eye when she’s approached by a new client who believes her daughter is in danger.

There’s a wedding next weekend, and the client’s daughter is the bride.

Except Melody’s client hasn’t told her the whole truth – the groom’s last fiancée seems to have disappeared, and nobody has any answers.

Now tasked with going undercover to protect the bride-to-be, Melody finds herself out of her comfort zone and on an outdoor adventure weekend in the Lake District with the hen party.

After narrowly escaping death in a climbing accident, Melody’s detective skills are tested to the limit when one of the bridesmaids is murdered – and time is running out.

This is her biggest investigation to date, but will Melody even survive long enough to unmask the killer and protect the bride?
