Summary:
The twisting twenty-fifth instalment of Lesley Cookman's much-loved Libby Sarjeant series
Libby Sarjeant is deep into rehearsals for the annual pantomime when a body is found in a doorway two weeks before Christmas - and Libby and her friend Fran are called into action once again, when their investigation leads them to a local brewery and the sale of many of its pubs.
With the help of a team of local publicans, can Libby and Fran unravel the case before it's too late?
Review:
Firstly thank you to Rachel Random Resources, Headline Accent and Lesley Cookman for having me on this tour and sending me the book.
I didn't realise this was part of a series when I picked it up (I really should look into that when I say yes to these fab-sounding books) but this is very much a series that can be read as stand-alone so I had none of the issues of not knowing what happened in the last book but I do get the joy of having another 24 of Libby's escapades to read about.
Wow is this a fast-paced book! A lot happened very quickly, I'm used to crime/thriller novels that are really paced out you get scraps of information drip-fed to you over a longer period but this was like you hit the ground running and never stopped. I was so glad we had a list of characters and how they were linked in the front of the book, it was helpful because we met everyone in quick succession and occasionally I lost who people were, to begin with, but I quickly was able to keep up to speed.
I found it such an easy book to read, because of its pace I got drawn in very quickly and found myself caught up in what Libby and Fran were up to, and boy do they work fast! They had leads and information for the police within minutes of taking the case on!
It's been a really enjoyable well-written book to have been able to get stuck into, I definitely will go back for more!
