Stars: 4 Stars out of 5

Review:

An engaging murder mystery set in modern day rural England with an unsolved murder from Soho, in the early 60's, being the key to solving the mystery. Jack Colby, car detective, is akin to a dog with a bone and refuses to give up until he had solved the three murders. A refreshing book that requires some mental agility in order to keep on top of the plot.

I gave this book a four star rating and would recommend it if you prefer a more difficult mystery to solve.

I received an ARC from Netgalley for my unbiased review.

Sysnpsis:
Jack Colby, car detective, is commissioned to buy a dream car from an earl, but finds himself racing into serious danger."
The once-notorious cabaret singer Adora Ferne guards a private treasure trove of twelve classic Jaguar cars, but hankers over the one that is missing. Enter Jack Colby: Adora s manager Danny Carter has commissioned him to buy the thirteenth dream car from its owner, the Earl of Storrington.
When a murder follows the earl s rejection of an offer, Jack is determined to find out whether there is a link between that and the twelve Jaguars. But the path to the killer divides: does the truth lie amongst the secrets of Adora s past or much closer to home? Speeding along the route he s certain will lead to the answer, Jack rushes headlong into danger.
