Anne's Reviews > Murder is Easy

Some people are just born bad.



When Luke Fitzwilliam decides to sit near a fluffy old lady because she reminds him of his favorite aunt, he has no idea that action will set him on the scent of a murderer.
For those of you who saw Benedict Cumberbatch in the episode of the Miss Marple tv show, this story does not have her in it.
They lied. Sorry.



Miss Pinkerton, the above-mentioned fluffy old lady, tells him that she is on her way to tell Scotland Yard about a serial killer in her small town, Wychwood under Ashe.
He thinks she's just got an overactive imagination, wishes her well, and goes on about his day without giving her a second thought. Until he reads about her death in the paper the next day. And then reads about the death of the doctor she said would die next if she didn't act.
It's too much of a coincidence for him to ignore, so he decides to go down to Wychwood under Ashe and poke around.



As per usual, there's a budding romance in this. As an added bonus, it's one that doesn't make you want to stab your eyeballs out. No super creepy age gap and/or he doesn't try to strangle her.
I know, right? Awww.



I actually did suspect who the murderer was quite a while before the Big Reveal happened. So this is one that you can figure out if you're looking closely. Although I wrongly guessed why they were offing everyone.
I liked the thought process behind the killings, not gonna lie.
This one was good.
