Review: Two by Jane Blythe

Published: Bear Spots Publications, July 2016 Pages: 282 Synopsis: "Before the sun rises, another will fall. When Brooke Mariano is found murdered on the grounds of the powerful Everette family’s estate, it looks at first as though she may have been killed in order to keep the paternity of her unborn child a secret. However, when another member of the Everette family turns up dead each night, it quickly becomes a race against time as Detective Ryan Xander and his partner try to discover which member of the family is the killer before the entire clan wind up dead. Ryan’s only inroad to the secretive family is Sofia Everette. Shunned by her father for her refusals to obey him, and battling a mysterious illness, Sofia’s childhood dreams may be the key to saving her life and stopping the killer from exterminating the entire Everette family." Rating: *****

I received a free copy of Two in exchange for an honest review.

The second chapter packed an emotional punch and made me feel a little queasy - it's unusual a book can make me feel physically sick.

I couldn't help but think of An Inspector Calls by J.B. Priestley - a family all being connected to the dead woman but all lying about it and trying to deceive each other, let alone the detectives.

Different to One in that you become aware of the identity of the culprit much earlier on in the book, and this worked really well.

Looking forward to reading the rest of the series, and the blurb of Three explains that the victims and detectives from the first two books are coming together. I can't wait! My only worry is will Jane Blythe be able to continue with the superb writing and brilliant ideas for another 8 books?
