Russian Roulette by Sara Sheridan

Russian Roulette -even sounds deliciously dark doesn't it? Well it is, and this Brighton based mystery heads over into the Sussex Downs where things get deadlier still

There are some good mysteries and some great ones and this one is the later. Evocative and dark – there are some seedy places in Brighton if this is to go by! A few crimes and a maze of mysteries to navigate with more than enough twists to rival the streets of Kemptown. Brighton in the 1950s is great setting and there’s a lot to look at. Mirabelle is a great character and finds herself in a real fix this time and her life more complicated than ever before which makes it all the more interesting.

The setting as I’ve said before really adds to the story here – The Grand Hotel carries more than a few secrets and there are thrillseekers galore in and around the town. There’s multilayers to this novel and yes, its a war time mystery but one with poison, gin, prostitutes and more. One crime scene in particular really intrigued me. Oh and that title. Read this and appreciate it even more.
