The Thirteenth Room
The Thirteenth Room
How do you stop a killer when nobody believes there's been a murder?
A tragic suicide at the Manor Hotel rattles the community, evokes sympathy for the new widow, and makes Kempston Hardwick suspicious. The more he learns about the suspicious death, the more sure he is that whatever happened in room 13 wasn’t suicide.
When the local police are reluctant to investigate, it’s up to Hardwick and his friend Ellis to unravel the mystery. But, before the two men can even finish processing all the clues, another dead body, another supposed suicide, is discovered in room 13.
Rumors of a supernatural culprit begin to get harder to ignore as the danger and the body count mount at the Manor Hotel.
Will Hardwick discover the true killer, or will he and Ellis become the next guests who go to room 13 to check out permanently?
I discovered Knight & Culverhouse first, (Adam Croft's other series of stories) and loved them so much I started on Kempston Hardwick expecting more of the same........I got some of the same - great writing, good prose, engaging characters and great plot lines - but I also got something different - a very different style of 'who dunnit' with a lead character who is very much in the here and now, but somehow conjures up feelings of an earlier era - the stories could easily be from Agatha Christie, (and in case you're wondering, that's a HUGE compliment in my book, I think she is the best writer of mysteries EVER)!! But I digress.....Kempston Hardwick is clever, well read, entertaining and long-suffering of his 'helpful' sidekick, Ellis - who often seems to hinder more than help. If you like a really good mystery, look no further!!!!
The first of Adam Croft's books that I've read and it wont be the last.A really good murder mystery that rattles along with enough herrings, red or otherwise, that lead the reader to a very satisfying conclusion.There are enough clues to enable the reader to solve the puzzle too - always a good thing.
Great book 📖
Another great book in the Kempton Hardwick series , great who dunnitWith a great ending , highly recommend , a great read , couldn't put it down , well done Adam croft 😀
Loved this as much as the other Kempston Hardwick stories I have read. As a paranormal investigator with Fright Nights, I even learned a little about the field and the conditions it can create. Fascinating thank you Adam.
