The Slaughter of Leith Hall by Lexie Conyngham – Review by Kerry Carr

The Slaughter of Leith Hall by Lexie Conyngham
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a interesting and gripping historical mystery. It was full of suspense and page turning twists and turns that keeps you guessing all the time.

With it being set in the past some of the language and terms used are a bit hard to understand and the story starts off slow but it is definately a book that is worth sticking with. The characters are well written and you cant help getting attached to them.

The main character is Charlie Rob. Charlie is a bit of a home bird and until John Leigh of Leigh Hall takes him under his wing Charlie had never left his home in Aberdeen. Charlie soon finds himself thrown into a murder mystery and he has the task of finding the truth and getting justice, however with conspiracy theories making the task harder will he be able to find out the truth.

I really enjoyed this book and following Charlie’s story and adventure was great. The list of the characters at the beginning of the book was also really helpful and a nice touch that I havent seen before.
