Weycombe

by  G. M Malliet

Jillian White moved to England from American and is living in the picture-perfect village of Weycombe.  It’s a quaint little place of everyone’s dreams.  She is lucky enough to be living in a gated community with her titled husband and its posh residents.  As we all know, things are not always what they seem when you get behind the closed doors of the houses.  When the real estate agent turns up dead along the river on the jogging path, Jill decides to take it upon herself to uncover who murdered her. 

Malliet’s story realistically portrays the lives of this quiet little group where everyone thinks they know what is really going on. Malliet keeps you guessing as Jill goes about her day to figure out who is embellishing and who is not giving her all the facts.  Each character is colorfully described and each stand out on their own.  Along with the mystery storyline, Malliet has created a story that deals with a young, contemporary woman who is struggling with issues of self-confidence and a failing marriage.  There are several story lines within this novel and Malliet keeps them moving.  A good contemporary mystery.

I wish to thank the publisher for generously providing an Advanced Reader’s Copy through NetGalley for my honest review.
