Murder at Thornton Park is the revised edition of The Dragon Sleeps, the first book of the Thornton Mysteries. I have to admit the dead body in the first sentence is certainly a grabber! The addition of Molly, the Thornton family Labrador also gave the story a personal touch.
It’s 1927 in Victoria, Australia and women are discovering there are more options open to them . Alexandra has hopes and dreams of entering the family antique collection and business started by her great-grandfather. Of course, there’s also a budding love.
Murder at Thornton Park is a murder mystery, romance and historical fiction mixed with bits of ancient Chinese legend and mythology. Alex has astute observation skills when it comes to reading people, behavior and expressions. She also has a knack for discerning what isn’t said.. The characters are solidly built, however, it doesn’t take long for Alex to peel back some of the layers to reveal their true nature underneath. The romance between Alex and Benedict develops quickly under the watchful eye of Edie, Alex’s best friend. I enjoyed reading how this love story unfolds. Stardust now has a whole new meaning for me... Yes, I Googled “Stardust “!
Read has created a mystery series reminiscent of Agatha Christie, but it was more than that for me. What came to my mind was Nancy Drew which I devoured growing up. Perhaps, I’m reading too much into the similarities. It doesn’t really matter, though because I’m no longer 12. I’ve rekindled my love for mysteries. I’m hooked on The Thornton Mysteries. Of course, I must have the new gorgeous editions!
NOTE:
Each chapter has a time heading making it easy to keep up with the flow. Also included is a Glossary and Author’s Notes at the end. It may be best to peruse the Glossary before starting the first chapter.
