Death on West End Road by Carrie Doyle

"Death on West End Road" by Carrie Doyle is the third book in her Hamptons Murder series but I think it is the best so far. I love that it is about solving a cold case murder that leads to some fascinating circumstances. It has an ominous feel right from the start. Things seem off when Paula asks Antonia to find who murdered her friend years ago and prove it wasn't her. It gets stranger as she starts interviewing the people who were involved years ago with Susie and the stories are not adding up. Antonia has to figure out who she can trust and who she can't and is Paula using her in some cruel game she is playing? I have always thought if I was an investigator I would want to work on cold cases and help families find answers and get justice. That is why this book appealed to me at first. This plot has that element of solving a cold case to help reach justice but it also leads to exciting circumstances in the present day also. The mystery keeps you guessing and has so many possibilities.

I like how Antonia is smart and quick thinking, but naive too. She tends to jump in with both feet then wonder what she had gotten herself into.

If you like a good mystery, with exciting twists and more than one possible suspect you will want to read this book. It is a good mystery with fun smart characters as well as a few sinister characters too. I enjoyed this one and couldn't put it down. I suggest you read the first two in the series also. I hope you will check it out.
