Review: An Unfamiliar Murder by Jane Isaac



This is the first of Jane Isaac's books that I have read, but I can tell you that it definitely will not be the last! 

Anna arrives home after work, and to her surprise finds the body of stranger in her apartment.  Of course she becomes the first suspect, but her alibi checks out. Then new evidence brings her back to the forefront of the investigation.  Leading the investigation is DCI Helen Lavery. It is her first murder investigation and she is determined to bring the guilty party to justice.  I won't include any spoilers, you'll need to read it for yourself to find out what happens. You will NOT be disappointed! 

I was drawn right into the story, and found myself not wanting to put this book down.  It was very well written, and the mystery to who the murderer really is, is not easily deduced which is a definite plus for me. I can't wait to read more about DCI Helen Lavery! She is balancing work and family life, and all of the craziness that goes along with it. It will be interesting to see if there is more written about her family life and how she copes with everything.  

Special thank you to TBC (THE Book Club) and Jane Isaac for giving me the change to receive this book for an honest review.
