A Most Malicious Messenger by Katherine Black

Thank you @KJBlack71 @bloodhoundbook @KellyALacey @lovebookstours #Ad #LBTCrew #BookTwitter #FreeReview #FreeBookReview for letting me be part of this book tour and reviewing this book. A Most Malicious Messenger is a crime genre and this is book 2 in the series. You can read it as a standalone, as I did. I love the front cover with the cute dachshunds, they are my daughter favourite breed. I found this story to be quirky and a feel good read that you can sit on the sofa in the dark evening and I enjoy following the characters figuring out done the murders. There were places in the book that made me smile, and the characters are likeable. The main characters are Fletch and May, and there seems to be some disturbing texts that the residents of Blackheath keep receiving, and things start to happen. A Most Malicious Messenger is an entertaining read, and I will look at reading book 1. If you like crime and humour, this book is for you, 4 stars. Blurb Menacing texts lead to murder in an English village, in this unmissable, witty mystery by the Dagger Award–nominated author of A Most Unusual Demise. May Morrigan is in her bookshop one morning when she—and everyone else in the shop—receives an anonymous text. It contains a reference to a Shakespeare quotation—and seems to be aimed at the vicar and his partner, Juan. The next morning, one of them is dead. Meanwhile, May’s elderly mother, Minty, is staying with her, her old friend Fletcher, and her two dogs. To her dismay, Minty is quite preoccupied with death herself lately. She also keeps reminiscing about her past in ways that make May wonder what secrets she’s hiding. As disturbing texts continue to arrive, the Blackheath residents are threatened with further revelations and titillations. Then Fletcher becomes the focus of the tormenting texter . . . and barely escapes an attempt on his life. It’s time for May to send a strong message—and block this killer permanently .
