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

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

Having read and enjoyed the previous book in this series I was looking forward to being back with coroner’s assistant Daniel O’Halleran, and I was not disappointed. This is an enjoyable and engaging historical crime novel with plenty of drama and suspense which had me hooked throughout. Colin Brissedon arrives at work to find that his new boss, who had threatened to fire him, has been murdered and he then becomes the prime suspect. However, his sister Kathleen does not believe her brother is capable of murder and neither does Daniel, but the coroner’s assistant will need evidence. During his investigation Daniel learns that the victim, a prominent attorney was not very well liked and more than one person would have a reason for killing him. Meanwhile, Kathleen decides to conduct her own investigation against Daniel’s wishes and he is worried for her safety. Daniel needs to find the integral clue that will help him solve the mystery, if he doesn’t then the murderer will be free to kill again. Once again the characters and the setting were brought vividly to life by the descriptive narrative, making me feel immersed in the story.
