A Forgotten Murder by Jude Deveraux

4.0

A Forgotten Murder, by Jude Deveraux, is available at booksellers on 3-10-2020. Forgotten is book 3 in Ms Deveraux's Medlar Mystery series. Although a stand-alone story I felt that there was more I needed to know. We're told very little about what brought these 3 sleuths together. I would have liked a little, just a little, more sense of what happened before Forgotten. I also felt the ending was abrupt. No lead into the next novel, not really satisfactory for me. I've rated 4 stars because the story is so darn good, I couldn't give 5 because of my little disappointments.

Although the series is Medlar Mystery, Sara Medlar is an author, I thought Jack was the better main character. His lines were the best, like Ms Deveraux has a favorite character. He's a good one, I was invested in his journey. Kept waiting for him to kiss Kate, Sara's niece, but it never happened! Guess it'll happen in a later book. Or will it? Kate was bland & didn't have much to do.

A Forgotten Murder is a terrific "English" murder mystery. There's an old, falling down manor house, efforts to keep it going, quirky English people, horses, and lots of stomping across fields. I think you'll like it and, like me, want to know more. I look forward to the next book.
