The Nine Night Mystery by Sharna Jackson
Aug. 5th, 2024 10:41 pmThe Blurb On The Back:
Last night Wesley and his friends Josephine and Margot threw their neighbour Rachel a surprise birthday party.
This morning Rachel is dead. And Wesley is the one who finds her body.
Rachel’s friends throw a traditional Caribbean Nine Night celebration to help guide her soul to the next world. But Wesley, Margot and Josephine don’t have time to mourn Rachel. They are determined to find out what has happened - and what secrets Rachel was keeping …
A brilliantly sharp and funny whodunnit that will keep you guessing till the end, from the queen of twisting murder mysteries.
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
Sharna Jackson’s mystery sequel for readers aged 9+ is an emotionally sophisticated affair that deals with grief, regret and betrayal in a way that the target readership can relate to. The 9 night structure gives the Copseys plenty of scope to dig into the suspects, including Wesley’s mum which lends tension and the mystery itself is more about Rachel herself than her death. All in all it’s a solid read and I’d check out Jackson’s other books.
THE NINE NIGHT MYSTERY was released in the United Kingdom on 6th June 2024. Thanks to the Amazon Vine Programme for the review copy of this book.
