A review by brookesbooks18
Death on the Beach by Anna Johannsen
2.0
I want to start by saying this is not a bad book, this review is based solely on personal enjoyment. The things I really liked about this book were the writing style which was unique and enjoyable, the island setting which is one of my favourites for a murder mystery and I loved the protagonist, detective Lena. We got to see not only her journey through the investigation but also her home life with family drama, relationship struggles and personal growth.
I did however decide to not continue with this book at the 60% mark and this was due to the fact that I was not engaged with the story and it got to the point where I didn't actually care how the story ended. I realised that I had enjoyed what I had from this story but I wasn't going to get anymore from it and had to choose to leave it.
If a murder mystery is something you're looking for then this book does have great potential, for some reason I just didn't click with it!
