The Body in the White Room

Isabelle Cannon Mystery, Book 2

By: Pete Worrall

Narrated by: Gabrielle Nellis-Pain

In a house of art, the masterpiece is murder.

Rhydsbury House, an artists’ retreat in rural Shropshire, is home to the eccentric painter Alistair Blair. Its tranquillity shatters when the new maid, Rosie Blackthorne, discovers Blair’s wife garrotted in his white room. Suspicion falls on Blair and his estranged brother, recently returned after six years abroad.

Fresh from solving the Montgomery Canal murder, Inspector Isabelle Cannon is called in. But as inconsistencies emerge, she soon discovers the truth hidden in Rhydsbury House is far darker than it first appears.

The Body in the White Room is the second Isabelle Cannon murder mystery.

When the mystery falls flat

A thoughtful nod to the power of discovery, even when a book isn't the right fit. “The Body in the White Room” (Isabelle Cannon Mystery #2) by Pete Worrell didn't quite click with me, but I'm grateful it was a freebie via Amazon Music. As my friend Dan Di Leo used to say, “If everyone liked the same things, the world would indeed be a boring one.” Thanks for the listen, and I'll keep exploring.
