‘The Murder Club’ by Nikki Crutchley is the second book in the Miller Hatcher series, but it is great to read as a standalone also. One thing I truly adore is discovering new authors and Nikki Crutchley is a definite gem of a find.
Set in a small town, Lentford in New Zealand. I enjoy reading books set in different countries, gives me the feeling of being a bit travelled in my head anyway!
Miller is a local journalist and receives an anonymous letter that reads ‘It begins tonight’ The next morning the first victim is discovered.
Miller has just started to become friends with Cassie Hughes, a woman whose mother was murdered and she has spent some time in a psychiatric unit for beating a man she believed killed her mother and is still searching for the killer to this day. Then we meet Logan, his sister was also murdered. He has set up a Murder Club. He plans to organise tours for all the murders that have occurred within the area, and wants Miller to do a piece on them in the newspaper.
All these characters are brilliantly created and I felt like I was part of this story. The writing was so vivid and realistic with great plotting. I was kept guessing throughout and the build-up of tension kept me on the edge of my seat too. I thoroughly enjoyed The Murder Club and would easily recommend it to others.
Thanks to Rachel’s Random Resources and Nikki Crutchley for the book to write my review.
