An Unfinished Murder

By: Jude Deveraux

Narrated by: Susan Bennett

Sara Medlar may be retired as a bestselling author, but her career as an amateur detective is facing one final mystery—and it’s a killer.

Retired romance novelist Sara Medlar has been comfortably sharing her large home with her niece Kate and her “honorary grandson” Jack. It’s a convenient arrangement given the Medlar Three, as they’ve become known, are often working closely together to solve mysteries in their small town of Lachlan, Florida. But when real estate agent Kate announces she’s been given the listing for the town’s storied Lachlan House, it sets off alarm bells for Sara and Jack. The infamous house has a dark history, one that’s certain to haunt them all.

With little memory of her childhood, Kate doesn’t understand what the fuss is about—until the trio visits the house and makes a grim discovery. Flooded by memories of the past, Kate realizes she spent time there as a child. But stumbling upon a skeleton dressed in a rotting tuxedo—a murder victim with connections to her father—causes Kate to wonder if the childhood she can’t remember might be one she’d rather forget.

As Sara, Kate and Jack delve deeper into the dead man’s history, they learn he was last seen at a party held at Lachlan House in the late nineties—a swanky soiree attended by his many enemies. With more than one motive in play, every partygoer is a suspect, and Sara is determined to find the culprit, even if it means digging up past secrets she’s worked hard to keep buried.

Love the story

Love the narration and the continuation of the story for 5 books. It was hard to finish because then it would be over.

Captivating

Enjoyed the entire series. Interesting characters. Plots that keep you guessing. Sara is a gem.

Story telling style like the author was in the story and knew everyone

Why the use of that house for the staged poisoning? At that time it made no sense, but at the end, it was evident.

Loved it!

I absolutely love this series! The narrator creates perfect characters. I can not wait until the next book!

Romance mixed with Murder

The story is hard to follow too many characters to keep up with. It’s an interesting story if you understand the back and forth of it.
