Lucinda Riley’s son, Harry Whittaker, on how The Murders at

A murder enquiry is launched headed by Detective Inspector Jazmin (Jazz) Hunter who was on sabbatical from the Met for personal reasons. I absolutely love Lucinda Riley’s work but I’m not entirely convinced that I enjoyed The Murders at Fleat House as much as I’d hoped. The characters are well-crafted and even the pathetic Angela Miller and the incompetent headmaster of the school evoke pity at the turn of the events that rock their respective lives. Sí, sé que debes de estar poniendo los ojos en blanco y rezando a santa Cachucha en busca de la paciencia perdida que, por cierto, ande andará🤔, pero era necesario decirlo para poder gritar: ESTE LIBRO ME HA ENCANTADO😍! When snow starts to cover the landscape and another suspect goes missing, Jazz must also confront her personal problems.Tiene cierta dosis de denuncia social, un poquitito de romance y la cantidad justa de personajes para poder seguirlos sin coger papel y lápiz. A far cry from the blood-soaked, carved-up-bodies style of crime mystery, The Murders at Fleat House is a clever, carefully created police procedural in the classic tradition… big on genuine clues and subtle misdirection, a long list of fascinating suspects, and peopled by the exquisitely real and fleshed-out characters that we have come to expect from Riley’s imagination. When his mother finally succumbs to cancer, Harry leaves Chicago but somehow he can’t quite leave all of his past behind. Detective Inspector Jazmine ‘Jazz’ Hunter is requested to investigate and so her resignation is temporarily suspended and the leads reveal more puzzling facts.

La serie de las siete hermanas no me atraía lo más mínimo, pero resulta que LR había escrito un policial, allá por el año 2006, que, por lo que sea no se atrevió a publicar. Sadly, Lucinda passed away before she could finish the eighth and final book in her Seven Sisters series, and so entrusted its secrets to her eldest son, Harry, who completed Lucinda’s final novel to ensure her fans could complete the journey they embarked upon with her. Since there were so many main characters in here, it hardly felt like any side characters were present, so I will mosh what would normally be my two paragraphs into one. A twisting, page-turning tour-de-force from the beloved, multimillion-copy selling sensation, Lucinda Riley, author of the Seven Sisters series. Even the reappearance of her handsome, Irish ex who wants a quick and easy result doesn't distract her from following the leads she has sniffed out.

As staff at the school close ranks, the disappearance of young pupil Rory Millar and the death of an elderly Classics Master provide Jazz with important leads but are destined to complicate the investigation further. Riley’s eldest son, Harry Whittaker, shares how the book came to be published, 16 years after his mother wrote her first and only crime novel. Trying to forget her own personal issues, Jazz throws herself into the case, hoping to make some much needed headway in this trying investigation. She spent the first few years of her life in the village of Drumbeg near Belfast before moving to England.

But there are dark secrets buried deep inside historic St Stephen’s School and as Jazz digs deeper into both the past and the present, she confronts not just a baffling mystery but the full force of her own demons. To think that this book was published in 2021 and is supposed to be set in 2005, it really does give of some "older vibes" with all it´s misogony, sexism and homophobia. Following last year’s untimely death from cancer of international bestselling author Lucinda Riley – the remarkable author behind the sensational, time-slip Seven Sisters series which is being planned as a seven-season TV series – her family are continuing to fulfil her vast literary legacy. He chose to honour his mother by leaving it unchanged, which I respect, but it means that this is not as good as it could’ve been with comprehensive editing and correction of various mistakes.

The characters are wonderfully flawed, so no-one is completely off the hook as far as suspects are concerned.
