A Death on Fools Lane (An Eve Sawyer Mystery) by Jane Suen – Review by Jennifer Gordon

A Death on Fools Lane by Jane Suen
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I love a Eve Sawyer cozy mystery and so was looking forward to this latest story in the series, and I was not disappointed. Being back with college student and amateur sleuth Eve Sawyer is like seeing an old friend, and I always enjoy investigating alongside her. This time Eve is looking forward to a fun winter vocation with her friends, but it’s not long until a dog sniffs out a dead body, and it’s hanging from a tree in the yard where they are staying. Eve can’t say no when the dead man’s grieving mother asks her to investigate whether it was suicide or murder, and so along with her friends they try to solve the mystery. Eve is determined to discover the truth so she can give the victims family the answers they need, but someone is not happy with her investigating and she soon finds herself in danger. As usual the descriptive narrative brings both the characters and the setting to life, making me feel immersed in the story. The storyline had me hooked throughout and the plot twists kept me guessing as to the outcome of the mystery. An enjoyable and engaging read and I look forward to being back with Eve again soon.
