An Invitation to Murder-Normal Russell - Crime ( Originally published as Tongued with Fire.) Lord Renfield is short of cash as ever but is determined to hang on to the family estate. His plan along with his domineering wife is to marry their daughter off to a wealthy American who is interested in the English aristocracy. An old book has been found by a villager relating to the house and village and the bookseller finds a letter within it which may cast a shadow on the Renfields' hold on their inheritance. When the bookseller is found dead, suspicion is cast but could this be a lucky break for the titled family? A story of murder and doubt with lots of twists and turns. This reminded me of a “Miss Marple” type scenario where all the characters know one another in a small village type setting and there are lots of backstories and history adding to the suspense. An entertaining read to keep the grey matter very active. For more reviews please see my blog http://nickibookb...
