A Relative Murder by Jude Deveraux is her fourth book in her Medlar Mystery series and can be read as a stand-alone book. This lovely mystery has fascinating characters and a mystery that I couldn’t put down.
Sara Medlar, her niece Kate, and their friend Jack have given up on solving murders, but when the sheriff leaves town and deputizes Jack to take his place, they all get involved in one more murder that takes place on their friend, Charlene’s farm on the outskirts of town. This murder investigation also opens up family drama for Sara and Kate. Will their relationship survive the secrets?
This is a twisty mystery that had me on the edge of my seat until the end. These characters are well developed and I liked Sara, Kate, and Jack immediately. They are smart, curious, and kind characters. I also enjoyed the pacing of the story as I was immediately immersed in the story and couldn’t wait to find out who was the murderer as well as the family secrets.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys romantic suspense. I received a complimentary copy of this book. The opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Deveraux never disappoints, another fantastic book to the Medlar series; I couldn’t have predicted the twist…this is the longest I’ve waited for a romance to fully bloom. It is the slowest slow burn I’ve come across, I hope the 5th book finally wraps everything up nicely.

Review of the audio book, read by Susan Bennett.
Well…that took a turn I wasn’t quite expecting at the end. A 20+ year plot huh? That was something.
After all the set up, I didn’t want to like Randall but I was utterly charmed. I was expecting a bit more of a wrap up with Kate & Jack. And I can’t believe someone didn’t smack the ever loving snot out of Eva.
