The Bear at Midnight (Orkneyinga Murders Book 4) by Lexie Conyngham – Review by Kerry Carr

The Bear at Midnight by Lexie Conyngham
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the 4th book in the series and even though I haven’t read the first 3 books I still really enjoyed this one. I think if you read the books in order you would get a greater understanding for the characters but it doesn’t mean that reading this as a standalone spoils the story but it was still an amazing read and I can’t wait for more. The author does an amazing job at describing the scenes. You actually feel like you are in the great hall, experiencing everything that’s happening. The author takes you  a historical  murder mystery set in the Orkney. It is written so well that I didn’t know who was responsible for the murder until it was revealed which I loved as i normally realise who the suspect is before then so it was refreshing to have no clue until it was revealed.

When the leader dies and other people turn up murder our two main characters, Ketil and Sigrid must solve the murder before the killer strikes again.
With enemies around every turn, a fight to become the new leader and now these mysterious murders the pair need to figure it out before its too late and gets too close for comfort.
