An antiques TV show. A dead celebrity expert. Can a shy amateur sleuth step into the lime-light and expose a murderer?
A clever whodunit, VALUED FOR MURDER had me appraising this book from cover to cover in record time.
In this second book in the Dotty Sayers Antique Mysteries, author Victoria Tait captivated me with her storytelling. From the murder to the characters, to the antiques, she set VALUED FOR MURDER as a fast-paced tale that would grip the readers’ attention and hold on tight. It certainly did mine.
Since this book was shorter than most I’m used to reading, I really don’t want to go into a lot of detail for fear of saying too much and spoiling it for future readers. But I will say this much, if you like English cozies and/or ones that give you the feel of a different time, VAULED FOR MURDER is a book you don’t want to miss.
About Victoria Tait
I was born and raised in Yorkshire, UK, and never expected to travel the world. But I fell for an Army Officer, and I’ve followed him from Northern Ireland, up to the Scottish Highlands, across to Africa and the Kenyan Savannah, back to the British Cotswolds, and we are now living in Sarajevo, in Bosnia and Herzegovina, in Southern Europe.
I never expected to be an author, but all this moving is not ideal for holding down a job. Instead, I’ve taken the experiences of the places I’ve lived to write vivid and evocative cozy mystery books with determined female sleuths.
I have two fast-growing teenage boys, and together we’ve learnt to ski on the Bosnian mountains. I also enjoy horse riding, mountain biking and I’ve started running as a way to improve my physical fitness, mental wellbeing and shed some excess pounds.
Thank you for your review on "VALUED FOR MURDER" by Victoria Tait. Sounds like a wonderful book and one I know I would great enjoy reading. Can't wait for the opportunity to do so.
