Murder At Music Hall (True North Murder Mystery Book 1) by A. J. Ullman – Review by Kerry Carr

Murder At Music Hall by A. J. Ullman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the first book in the True North Murder Mystery series. This story was an enjoyable murder mystery. The author does an amazing job with the details and fully immersing the reader into the investigation. The authors knowledge of police procedures and what goes into an investigation really brings the story to life for me.

Stoddard Skidmore, rich son of St John Skidmore has been found dead in a brutal attack. The man suspected for the crime has been arrested and charged however something isn’t right. The murder looks to personal to be a robbery gone wrong.

Trueman North, retired detective has been hired by St John to get to the bottom of what really happened to his son. It should be a simple case just look over the evidence and see what he can make of it.
However things don’t turn out that way. With meddling from St Johns daughter and his competitor North has his work cut out for him as he navigates and investigates the murder.
How he is going to deal with things when the people around him think they can buy their way out of trouble?
This is dark murder mystery which will use every bit of experience the detective has and more.
Is the man currently serving a jail sentence the murderer? Does it have anything to do with Stoddard at all or was he collateral damage? Was this something to do with Skidmore’s competitors or someone closer to home?
Will North uncover corruption that has put an innocent man behind bars?

I loved this story which was full of intrigue and twists and turns. I can’t wait to read more.
