Murder on Line One
Ratings1
Average rating4
Until the opportunity to review this book came up, I didn't know that Jeremy Vine wrote books. After reading the synopsis I was eager to read more.
It will come as no surprise to learn that the backdrop for Murder On Line One is a radio station, and the central character, Edward Temmis, is the former host of a late night talk show. 🎙📞
The story is a bit of a slow burn at first, but when the pace picks up, that's when the fun really begins. With a series of elaborate online scams designed to part elderly ladies from their money, a murder and a disfigurement, not to mention the hit and run in which Edward lost his son, there's quite a lot going on in the little town of Sidmouth.
There's quite the cast of characters too, and all are likeable, especially Edward.
Despite the heavy themes, there is some gentle humour throughout, and it is this that made it such an enjoyable read for me.
Thanks to HarperCollins UK and Netgalley for the digital ARC.
