Anyone who knows me well knows I am obsessed with books. Reading, writing, collecting, sharing… books
are my hobby and my obsession. Actually,
you don’t need to know me well to see my joy in the written word. I always have a book with me to whip out of
my purse. I’ll read anything, but one of
my favorite genres happens to be mystery.
I suck at figuring out who did it, but I enjoy witnessing the clues
unfold. Hence, I was thrilled to receive
a copy of DEATH ON LINDISFARNE by Fay Sampson from Lion Hudson via Kregel. It is the second book in the Aidan Mysteries series, the first being THE HUNTED HARE. I’d read that one in the past and found it
riveting, so I was excited to dive right in.
This book transports you to Lindisfarne, an actual island off the coast
of Northumbria. That in itself had me
hooked. I love reading about real lands. Aidan, a photographer, and his daughter visit
the retreat center there, which turns into a site of murder. Welcome characters both suspicious and
heart-warming. Every page grounds you
deep in the action, realism, and the beauty of the island – despite the dead
body on the beach part. My favorite part
had to be the descriptions of the old buildings. I’m a sucker for the history rooted deep in
old architecture!
