Below is my honest, unbiased review of The Case of The Hated Body (The Sleepless Detective Murder Mystery #1) by Carrie Marsh.

I enjoyed reading The Case of The Hated Body (The Sleepless Detective Murder Mystery #1) by Carrie Marsh. It wasn't a perfect read by any means, but it kept my interest throughout the entire novella from start to finish. The red herring was obvious... However, I was surprised by whodunnit, even if I did figure it out kind of early.

The following is a plot summary for The Case of The Hated Body (The Sleepless Detective Murder Mystery #1) by Carrie Marsh from Amazon:
Chilling Screams... A Dead Boarder...Deception
Confident in his ability to solve any case the sleepy town of Rockport can throw at him, Detective Richard Watson never expected to get saddled with the senseless brutality of a case like the Rockport Heights Murder. Not only could any one of the guests at Rockport Heights boarding house be suspects, but the more he investigates the more he finds there is something badly off about the murder of Rebecca Jones...
Richard sets his sights on two major suspect: Rebecca's husband, found to have a history of abusive behavior, and Julian Rhys, her self-appointed protector. But he finds himself torn between the most obvious options and his gut feeling that they may not be the right ones. Struggling to separate his personal life and his judgement, Richard turns to the only clue he really has: the way the young woman died.
With mounting tension threading to topple their investigation Richard and his young assistant, Alexander Ford, follow a confusing trail of clues that seem to lead in every direction.
Can Detective Watson find a way to put together the seemingly senseless clues in time to solve the case once and for all?
Or will suspicions, ghost stories and his own waning health prevent from discovering the truth in time?
The Case of the Hated Body is a spine-tingling race through multiple suspects, each with a motive for killing the young woman. As each is cleared, join the detective as he searches for the truth of what happened that dreadful night…but don’t read it alone in the dark!
This is a standalone cozy mystery novella.
I am giving The Case of The Hated Body (The Sleepless Detective Murder Mystery #1) by Carrie Marsh a rating of 3 stars out 5 stars.

Until my next post, happy reading!
