Review of...A Murder of Convenience by Kathleen Buckley
This locked-room murder mystery that takes place in pre-Regency England offers a glimpse into a time when social constraints and the lack of modern forensics made solving crimes almost impossible. Magistrate Hugh Montgomery must unravel the mystery with cunning, observation, and persistence, to save Ellen, the chief suspect and his childhood crush.
Imagine being a woman in a time when your voice barely mattered and your power was almost nonexistent. Now imagine becoming the prime suspect in a murder mystery!
If you're a lover of mystery novels who relishes a complex, winding plot, then prepare to be entertained. This isn't just another whodunit; it's an intellectual challenge that will keep you guessing until the very last page.
