The Murdered Roommate
In the summer of 1913, Louise Faulk is enjoying her new life in New York City until one evening when she and her roommate, Callie, return to their apartment to find Callie’s cousin, Ethel, dead. Ethel had been staying with them for several weeks, but was from out of town and hardly knew anyone. The police focus on someone that Louise knows would never commit murder, so she starts to investigate. But who could have motive to kill Ethel?
The book starts off quickly, but I did feel the pacing was a bit uneven as the story unfolded. There was one thing that I wasn’t satisfied with at the end of the book as well, but only because I disagreed with Louise’s conclusion. Overall, the plot is interesting and held my interest all the way until we reached the logical climax. Louise is a wonderful main character, and I’m very interested to see where the series takes her next. The suspects are strong, and the rest of the cast is interesting. The book was a little darker than I was expecting, more a traditional than the cozies I normally read. As long as you know that going in, you’ll be fine. I will definitely be visiting Louise again. I’m anxious to find out what happens to her next.

Jun 20, 2023
Louise Minchin has gathered 18 amazing, fearless women into this book. All women who haven’t taken no for an answer, and have followed their dreams to achieve amazing things.
I read loads of this out loud to my husband, who I’m sure enjoyed it as much as me! There are feats of endurance, skill and bravery. I’d love to say that it has inspired me to go off and do something equally “fearless”, but I’m more than happy to just read about it! 🤷🏼♀️
A thoroughly engaging and fascinating read. Thank you to The Pigeonhole and to Louise Minchin for reading along with us and commenting too!
