No Simple Death

The Dublin Murder Mysteries, Book 1

By: Valerie Keogh

Narrated by: Stephen Daly

No Simple Death is a murder mystery with a touch of romance, set in the Dublin suburbs. It will appeal to fans of authors such as Peter James, LJ Ross and Ruth Rendall.

When Detective Mike West is called to investigate a murder in a Dublin graveyard, suspicion immediately falls on a local woman, Edel Johnson, whose husband disappeared some months before. But then she disappears. Evidence leads West to a small village in Cornwall, but when he arrives, he finds Edel has got there before him. Her explanation seems to make sense, but as West begins to think his suspicions of her are unfounded, she disappears again.

Is she guilty? West, fighting an unsuitable attraction, doesn't want to believe it. But the case against her is growing. Back in Dublin, his team uncover evidence of blackmail and illegal drugs involving Edel’s husband. When another man is murdered, she, once again, comes under suspicion.

Not Bad

This is an adequate story but the main policeman a is a bit of a creep.

No Simple Death

I would have given it a higher rating but it was just waaay to detailed. Did not need to talk in great depth about their food etc. Should have been tightened up.

Good read after several chapters

I loved the story and the ending. However, the beginning was long and it took a lot of irrelevant chapters to get interesting.

Kept my interest

Lots of twists and turns. I enjoyed it. Eager to start the next book in the series.
