Genre: Murder mystery
Synopsis:
Murder’s on the menu…
Attorney Kyra Gibson has a lot on her mind this Thanksgiving. She’s been working long hours on a multi-billion dollar corporate merger, her family is visiting from London, and her relationship with former police detective Tarek Collins is heating up. When she and her companions are invited by her aristocrat client to attend a formal gala at a historic mansion on Chappaquiddick, Kyra reluctantly agrees.
But Chappy is more than just a playground for the wealthy. It’s a wild, remote place cut off from civilization. When the first body is found, the occupants are worried. Was it an accident or murder? When a second guest is brutally killed and then a third, there’s no doubt and the guests fearfully turn on each other. They are locked in a house with a murderer picking them off one-by-one. Kyra, her best friend Chase Hawthorn, and Tarek must survive the night and find the killer, or one of them could be next.
My Review:
Widow’s Walk by Raemi A. Ray is the third book in Martha’s Vineyard Murders series, but each book in the series features a separate, unrelated murder story. However, if you want to experience the beautiful character development, start from the beginning. Why am I recommending the book and the whole series before discussing the story? because it has everything a murder mystery novel should have.
Unlike A Chain of Pearls or The Wraith’s Return, the timeline of this book spans only one day, which makes the story more intriguing. With each passing page, not only does Kyra, but even I, feel a strong desire for the day to end. Kyra, her friends, and family arrive at a mansion to attend a business Thanksgiving dinner hosted by her boss. And as the tagline in the book cover says, “It’s a dinner party. And death is on the menu”, let me just say, the main course is murder.
The murders were so chilling, and walking down the mansion’s hallways felt truly scary. It was so realistic that I wanted to get out of that mansion as soon as possible, even though when I am sitting in my house safe and secure. I would say this book definitely gives that bone-chilling scary vibes.
The plot kept me on edge throughout, and the twists were excellent. I didn’t expect a single thing that happened in the book. I had to admit it, I guessed the killer wrong, twice. Again, it is a very brilliant cover design.
Kyra and Tarek were so good together. The understanding between them was so heartwarming. My heart skipped a beat when he said to Kyra, “You’re going to be the death of me.” Ahh! I love them so much. I missed Chase in this book as he had only a few scenes (compared to the second book). Finally, we meet Kyra’s aunt and she is so radiant. I also loved Gerry’s character; he was so caring toward Chase, who truly deserved it.
If you love a gripping locked room mystery, Widow’s Walk delivers a chilling, fast-paced plot that keeps you on the edge of your seat. With unexpected twists and well-developed characters, it’s a must-read for mystery lovers. Raemi A. Ray nails the suspense, making you feel like you’re trapped in the mansion with the killer. Highly recommended!!!
