Murder in York

Go on a ghost tour and end up investigating a murder 

While at a less-than-inspiring training course, DCI Oldroyd takes a break for a ghost tour. Thinking the tour will give him a bit of history about the area, DCI Oldroyd instead finds a dead body. The victim, a largely disliked property owner. There are plenty of suspects, and things worsen when a second body is found. Oldroyd skips the rest of the training course and, with Andy, his trusty left hand, investigates. His trusty right hand, Steph, is on another assignment. Given the closeness to the intended release date, I could not help but draw similarities between the first victim to Scrooge. There were so many possible suspects it almost seemed as though the cause might not get resolved. 

Is Oldroyd looking to return? What would he do with his days? While I know that eventually this will occur, it is not a day that I am looking forward to. There is also some future planning for Andy and Steph.

As with all the books in this series so far, the pace has been great, the story captivating, and the narration on point. I enjoyed on things evolved with this series and the characters. 

I also like how this book can be read standalone without feeling like missing something. It also works great when it has been a while since reading the previous book.

Thank you, #Netgalley and #ThomasMercer, for the early read and the opportunity to share my thoughts.

Happy reading!
