Think Midsomer murders meets Bergerac, set in the near future and based on an actual murder that took place in 1919, and you'll have a good idea of what to expect from Diana Jackson's latest thriller. Unlikely coincidences keep you guessing and, in classic murder mystery style, have you changing your mind several times about the killer's identity - or who the next victim might be.
I particularly liked the evocative scenes set in Diana's much-loved Channel Islands and could easily imagine this book as a successful TV drama. The eventual denouement is original and inventive - I definitely didn't see it coming! Highly recommended, Murder, Now and Then is one of those books you can't put down until the mystery is solved.
