BookwormMama14 (18 KP) rated Murder at the Flamingo (A Van Buren and DeLuca Mystery #1) in Books

Jan 2, 2019

Oh, Hamish...My Hamish...Where have you been all my life? Hamish is my kindred spirit. My best friend. The fictional character that I so desperately want to meet.

For Rachel McMillan to take something that she has personally dealt with her whole life, and give it to her HERO...It is one of the most beautiful things you will ever witness. I feel like I not only know Hamish...But I know Ms. McMillan better. She opened her heart and let the words pour onto the page. The description is REAL, the emotion is REAL, the pain and the heartache is REAL. Anxiety...is REAL!

In addition to the anxiety factor...We have all the makings for an intense and intriguing mystery. A suave Italian nightclub owner, a bad guy on the hunt, and a high class born young lady determined to solve a crime. One of the themes that stood out to me in this story, is the sense of finding home.

"What if home wasn't something you were born into but rather something you found and ultimately chose?"

Murder at the Flamingo is a story full of life and adventure! From the North End of Boston to the nightclub scene of the 1930s...You will want to dance the night away with Reggie and Hamish in this new mystery from Rachel McMillan!

I received a complimentary copy of Murder at the Flamingo. I was not required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are mine alone.

Brilliant for forensic lovers

First I should say, I’ve never been a fan of non-fiction. It’s for this reason that this book has been sat on my shelf for around a year just waiting to be read. I finally got around to reading it and I have to say, this really dug into the depths of my interest in crime and the forensic aspect of this.

I loved how this book was set out, going through in the order in which events take place when a real life crime is committed and dedicating a chapter to each stage, providing real life examples along the way which really keeps you engrossed.

I’d definitely recommend this book to anyone who is in the slightest interested in crime in general or just specific aspects such as fire scenes, toxicology and pathology.

Fast-paced, dark and clever

The best way to describe the plot of the book is written on the front cover "He's seen too many young people die She's afraid he might be next."

The 'he' mentioned above is one of the main characters DS Noah Jake, the 'she' being his partner/colleague DI Marnie Rome. Both characters are deep, well-thought out with difficult and troubling back stories.

The story is very realistic and references true life events that have affected the London. It felt very real and I can see where Sarah Hilary (author) gets her inspiration from.

As with most crime novels, it is fast paced with twists and turns throughout. The characters/suspects/witness are all very clever and different with a key input to the story.

I would recommend this book.
