Murder on West Main (A South Shore Mystery) by I.M. Foster – Review by Elizabeth Sanchez

Murder on West Main: A South Shore Mystery by I.M. Foster
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Murder on West Main is the 2nd book in the South Shore Mystery series, but it can be read as a stand alone. The book takes place in the early 1900s, following Daniel O’Halleran as he tries to solve a murder. Things are much different in that day and age- there was no DNA, cameras, limited knowledge on finger prints, limited police. Daniel is a doctor, and a coroner assistant, and is one of the main investigators for the crime. Kathleen Brissedon is a close friend of Daniel, as well as the sister of the first suspect. She helps him investigate to help clear her brother’s name, spend time with Daniel, and because she is pretty good at it. It is unheard of for women to investigate, so she cannot help in any official capacity. The book was a pretty good mystery and maintained my interest throughout. I did not figure out who the murderer was until right before it was revealed, and I thought the author did a good job of building up the story and characters. I would be interested to read more in the series.
