Killings at Little Rose

Killings at Little Rose

In a coastal village where what’s been buried doesn’t stay buried, what’s lost at sea doesn’t stay lost.
 
Sleuth Anne Brown finds herself in an eastern PEI fishing community, working undercover for the new owner of a seafood-processing plant plagued by vandalism, loss, and ill luck. The community around Little Rose Harbour has been shocked by the discovery of old, secret remains of a baby, and all their entangled secrets are coming to the surface.
 
On the cusp of a clandestine love affair and herself keeping secrets, Anne must sort through gossip, rumours, and lies—and dodge the menace of violence—to uncover the canker at the core of Little Rose.
 
But will she learn in time to prevent the mystery from becoming motive for murder?

Killings At Little Rose By Finley Martin

Killings At Little Rose By Finley Martin. Similar to The Dead Letter By Finley Martin, this book has it's events that come in waves from relaxed to extreme, while continuing the story. At the beginning I was excited because I had fallen in love with the wonderful character of Anne Brown, but when I realized it might just be because I liked her that the book seemed good, I lost some love for the book. It led me to believe for a few pages that it was going to be a mellow story and it wasn't going to live up to its name, but it proved me wrong within about the last 20 pages, the story exploded with emotion, death, grief, loss and more devastation. Reading literally the last 4 pages, it had me trembling. My mouth was open, my eyes wide and body shivering at the exciting and devastating end of the book. The feeling after finishing this book gave me a rush that made me feel like I could run up a wall. This book is without a doubt one to give a try! (BUT READ THE DEAD LETTER FIRST, IF YOU HAVEN'T!) I rate this a 5/5 star with absolute pride!

I recommend this book.

Killings at Little Rose

Killings at Little Rose by: Finley Martin was an exceptional read perfect for the Halloween season. Much like the Dead Letter this book stars PI Anne Brown whom I’ve grown to love even more. We got more character development and witty humour from the female investigator. Set in PEI this book mentioned places I’ve been to and transported me right into the book. The narrative dragged at spots but the surprise ending made up for it! I really appreciated this brilliant mystery. It kept me entertained and couldn’t put it down! I highly recommend this book and give it 5/5 ⭐️

I recommend this book.

Killings at Little Rose

Killings at Little Rose by Finley Martin was a story of back and forth mystery in a small eastern PEI community. A sleuth named Anne Brown finds herself working undercover at a seafood processing plant. Every chapter introduced a new piece of information to the mystery at Little Rose Harbour.
Finley Martins way of writing was amazing and formed in a way that keeps the reader hooked. You could picture the exact setting at which the story takes place and you could feel the emotion from every character and their motives.
For me personally this book wasn’t exactly the genres I enjoy reading. Because of that it took me a very long time to even finish this book. The last few chapters had me at the edge of my seat. It took a twist that I was not expecting and it took pieces of the story from the very beginning and gave it a whole new meaning. Which was a very interesting writing tool used by Martin.
I would give this a 3/5 star rating. If you’re reading this and enjoy books about mysteries and small towns specifically local towns this would be a great read for you.

I recommend this book.
