Death in the Spires
K. J. Charles
Reviewed by Helen
The story starts in 1905 but goes back to 1893 and this was a story that pulled me in from the start, a gritty and tenacious story that started ten years before when what people called The Seven Wonders became friends at Oxford University, lost one of their own in a brutal murder that ten years on has never been solved.
Jeremy Kite was one of these friends and when Toby Feynsham was killed in his room, Jeremy lost everything he had worked for. It ruined his life and now again it is causing problems when another mystery letter arrives accusing him of being a murderer, he has now lost his job and Jem has had enough, he will not stop at anything till he finds the killer and gets the answers he wants and needs to move on.
Jem starts on a journey to track down the other five wonders and finds that they two are receiving letters but they are willing to let things go unresolved, but not Jem and he ends up back at Oxford University where it all began, but the closer he gets to answers, the more secrets he uncovers the more danger he is in.
Will he finally uncover the truth, will it be better to leave some things in the past and the secrets buried deep?
This is a story that I do highly recommend, filled with a fabulous murder mystery, secrets and blackmail and wonderful characters, it had me guessing till the very end, which I thought was so good, will the seven wonders left behind become best friends again or will they all move on?
