Execution in E (A Gethsemane Brown Mystery Book 5)
By: Alexia Gordon
Rating: 4 of 5
I have read almost all of the books in the series. It is a series that I have enjoyed. In this most recent book, the story is told a little bit differently than previous books. In this book, there is more dialogue than description. While that is not one of my favorite book devices, it does work for the story.
The lighthouse, which is by the cottage that Gethsemane Brown rents, has been taken over by a wedding entourage. The bride and groom-to-be are both social media influencers and are aiming to get the best photos for them to post. Although the bride is quite wealthy, she is still looking for sponsors to pay for much of her wedding and to get lucrative sponsorship deals for the future.
However, the groom turns up dead. The thought is that he committed suicide. Something doesn’t smell quite right and Gethsemane decides to investigate in order to clear the individuals whom she cares for. She also has suspicions and wants to relieve her mind.
When other individuals related to the party in different ways turn up dead, it leads the both Gethsemane and the Gardia (Irish police) to believe that murder has taken place. The question is who is the murderer and what can they do to stop the individual from killing again?
There is less of a tie-in to Gethsemane’s musical talents but in the case of this story, more wouldn’t make sense. While the paranormal is still present by way of the ghost Eamon, it doesn’t have the emphasis it does in other of the books in the series.
I was provided a digital advance reader copy of this book by the publisher via Edelweiss.
