The Playing Fields by Stella Cameron

This was a departure from the usual books I’ve been reading lately, and such a fantastic one at that! Many years ago I used to read all of Stella Cameron’s romance books, but hadn’t read any of her recent releases and so this was quite a wonderful surprise. Although there is a romantic element, this is most definitely a mystery book and not a romance. From the start we have what seems like two separate storylines and intrigues occurring – one with Alex and her fiancée, Tony and a wrench being thrown into their happy ever after plans, and the other with murders occurring around where they live and work. I loved that despite there being a number of characters to follow and keep up with, they all had such depth to them. In addition, it’s not often that I’m taken by surprise when reading or watching mysteries – and although I had partially figured some of this out before the end, I was definitely surprised by the end! I actually read this through in one sitting because I was so caught up in what was happening and trying to solve it. If you love good mysteries, then this is definitely for you.

Thank you to Canongate Books and NetGalley for the Advance Reader Copy. I have voluntarily left an honest review.
