A Killer Clue is book 2 in Victoria Gilbert’s Hunter and Clewe series and was chock full of mysteries to keep the reader on their toes.
A Killer Clue is written in first person from the point of view of Jane Hunter, a librarian cataloging the book collection belonging to her boss, Cameron Clewe. When Cameron’s favourite source for antique. Books is accused of murder, he decides to come to her aide and asks for Jane’s assistance.
I loved that the main character, Jane, was an older woman, in her early sixties, still active, and working, and seemingly content to be single. Her boss, Cameron, was also an interesting character, as a younger man dealing with some form of agoraphobia. They made for an interesting pair when it came to investigating a mystery.
Speaking of mystery, this story contained three mysteries, 2 of which seemed loosely related, and one completely unrelated. Of the two related mysteries, one was a cold case, which made the solving the mysteries even more interesting.
A Killer Clue was an enjoyable mystery, full of interesting characters, and with enough action to keep the reader’s interest. Although it’s the second book in the series, it is easily read as a standalone. I had not read book one in the series and had no problem jumping in with this book.
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
A Killer Clue publishes on September 24 2024.
