annarella 's review for:

Murder has a Motive by Francis Duncan
5.0

This book was great. Once started I had to end it.
The writer is good on building the atmosphere of mistrust and fear and to play with the idyllic settings against the brutal murders.
It contains a lot of elements of the Golden Age of Mystery and, though it is nearly 70 years old it had stood the test of time
I never heard about Francis Duncan before and went looking for other mystery he wrote.
Many thanks to Netgalley and Sourcebooks Landmark for giving me the chance to read and review this book
