A Deadly Walk in Devon by Nicholas George
3.75
Big Thanks to Netgalley and the Publisher for the advanced copy!!!
'A Deadly Walk In Deavon' is the first book of the 'A Walk Through England Mystery' series. It follows a retired detective, as he goes for a walking trip to the English countryside, only to be encountered with a new mystery to solve.
First of all, I enjoyed the main character a lot. He was the serious type, while struggling with his age and the new stage in his life (retired and questioning whether his skill should retire as well, and struggling to accept the death of his loving partner). The author actually did a good job blending the detective's personal issues with the solving of the murder, with the latter being the main focus of the book.
The mystery itself had many suspects and it wasn't easy to figure out who had done it. The many interesting characters helped as well.
Also, the book had that Agatha Cristie feel to it, with the rich countryside, the cozy atmosphere, and the menacing weather.
Finally, the audiobook was enjoyable and the narrator did a good job with his narration, especially when it came to the accents.
