A review by dlmoldovan
A Beautiful Place to Die, by Malla Nunn

3.0

This book offers mystery upon layer of mystery, and a haunted lead character that's still recovering from WWII while trying to solve the case. Throw in racial, religious and societal differences, and a little communism and torture and that'll add some spice to the mystery. Yes, I found the story dragging on in a couple of places, but once I started reading I couldn't put it down. The author also did a good job of introducing the beginning of apartheid in the South African society. The characters needed some more development, but they were entertaining nonetheless. I will probably pick up the next on in the series.
