Too Bright for Murder

Ruth Finlay Mysteries, Book 2

By: Isobel Blackthorn

Narrated by: Natalie Beran

When Ruth Finlay accompanies her neighbour Doris Cleaver and the Mahjong club on a long weekend in the picturesque town of Bright, she’s hoping for a relaxing time researching the town for a feature article. Instead, the death of one of the tour party catapults her into an investigation she could surely do without.

Who killed Burt Braithwaite and why? Surely not one of the ladies of the Mahjong club? With too many suspects, only one small clue and few leads to follow up on, Ruth grows desperate to find answers. Her desperation grows as she finds herself under suspicion for the murder.

When Ruth discovers that a second death connected to the holiday home took place five years before, she is determined to discover a link. And to make things even more complicated, her neighbour and sidekick Doris disappears at the local farmer’s market.

A delightful Australian cozy mystery filled with quirky characters and unexpected twists, Too Bright for Murder is the second book in Isobel Blackthorn's Ruth Finlay Mysteries.

Fun cozy mystery

Ruth Finlay gets invited on a long weekend trip with her beloved neighbor Doris. Journalist Ruth plans to explore the tourist attractions in the Australian town of Bright for a feature article. When they find a dead body of one of their tour party, they suspect the murderer is among them. Good story and good writing. The main characters are an unlikely pair, but Ruth loves helping and cooking for Doris. I was surprised and upset about Ruth’s father. I enjoyed my armchair travel to Australia. The narration was outstanding. The performance brought the characters and story to life.
