Death of A Painter by Matthew Ross

Thank you @ZoolooBT and @mattwross for letting me be part of this tour and reviewing this book. Death of a Painter is a humourous dark comedy and I liked the front cover a lot. I liked the character Mark I found him very interesting and I felt sorry for him due to Tommy being murdered and Mark blaming himself and getting accused of it. The twists were good and I kept questioning myself as to who the killer was. Death of a Painter is an entertaining read and is something different to what I normally read which was nice. There were some funny bits in the book that made me laugh. This is a great read and found it very easy to get into and is written exceedingly well. The plot is dark and funny and is a fantastic read. 5 Stars. Book Blurb IN THE BUILDING GAME, TIME IS MONEY AND MONEY IS EVERYTHING. When Mark Poynter discovers a murder on his worksite all of his financial problems suddenly seem a lot closer to home: was this a warning his debts are overdue? Suspected of being the killer and worried at being the intended victim, the murder only makes Mark’s money problems worse, leading him to turn to the local villain, Hamlet, who has his own unique repayment plan in mind for Mark. When two more deaths plunge him even further into debt, Mark finds himself faced with a choice – help the police and clear his name or help the villain and clear his debt. Set in the Medway Towns on the grey margins of criminality, where no job’s too big, no dodge’s too small… Author Bio Matthew Ross is the author of 3 published novels to date.
