Murder in Hamstead

MURDER IN HAMPSTEAD

Sabina Manea

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

As the book cover reads, this is a classic 2021 London whodunnit, with characters, except for one, who are trained investigators. The main character, Lucia Steer, is an ex-lawyer, now an interior decorator, involved in investigating the murder of her new client.

 Lucia's intuitive takeover of the murder case is impressive, like a Sherlock Holmes conundrum. The action focuses on uncovering relevant evidence.

Lucia does this so well that Detective Chief Inspector Carliss falls in line and documents it. With help from Lucia's friend Nina, a key piece of evidence emerges, leading to the arrest of the killer, who had gone unnoticed throughout the novel.

Ms. Manea does an excellent job in producing this whodunnit. HANSTEAD is a consuming read.
