Secular murder mystery

Weycombe by G. M. Malliet

American Jillian White lives with her titled English husband in the exclusive little village of Weycombe.  When a real estate agent is found murdered, the village is shaken.  Jillian, at loose ends because of losing her job at the BBC, works on solving the murder.  Her investigation gives the reader an intimate glimpse into the lives of the people living in Weycombe and turns up a very surprising conclusion.

The characters were well-drawn and their motivations were studied.  The author kept me guessing as to who had “done it.”  She saved the best twist until the end and then still left me wondering what Jillian would do.

I enjoyed this book even though it is a different genre from what I usually read, which is Christian fiction.  Although the language was a bit crude, the plot was good.  Readers who enjoy a good murder mystery with a surprise will enjoy this one, too.
