Murder on Oak Street ( A South Shore Mystery Book 1) by I.M. Foster – Review by Christie Mitchum

Murder on oak street by I. M. Foster
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I like nothing better than a good murder mystery, and I certainly got Agatha Christie vibes from the synopsis, and I.M. Foster didn’t disappoint.

I usually don’t go into too much detail when reviewing thrillers or mysteries as I don’t want to spoil anything! As the synopsis indicates, coroner Daniel O’Halleran is in need of a change. His job has him frustrated, and to add insult to injury, the woman he thought he would spend forever with just left him standing at the altar. He most definitely needs a change. So, when his help is needed in a small village, he jumps at the chance! However, he doesn’t realize how his pace of life is about to change. The past comes roaring back when he is asked to look into an old murder case that he just so happened to be a part of. When a new murder occurs, he thinks the two may be somehow connected.

The writing was fantastic as were the characters! The story may have started off just a wee bit slow, but once I got going, it was addictive. There were plenty of twists and turns, and I loved going back to the beginning of the 1900s. All those things combined made for a great historical mystery!

I am really excited that this is the beginning of a series. I’m really looking forward to reading future books as this promises to be a fantastic series!!!!
