"Gripping mystery with a touch of humour."
What the Book is About
The story revolves around Samantha (Sam) Smith, a private investigator hired by Derwena de Caro, a famous songstress, to uncover the identity of a stalker. The investigation takes an unexpected turn, leading Sam into the depths of a hidden scandal.
What Works?
Sam’s character is a standout – adorable, mischievous, and brimming with humour. Her lively personality, topped with witty dialogue, sets a captivating tone from the very start. The narrative is fast, keeping you engaged with its straightforward yet thrilling plot. Supporting characters also contribute to the suspense and intrigue.
What Falls Short?
While the story is enjoyable, it could have benefited from more twists and heightened tension. The ending feels incomplete as if uncovering only a fragment of a larger mystery. There’s no clear indication whether the remaining threads are part of a sequel, which leaves you wanting more closure.
Who Should Read It?
Fans of light, fast-paced mysteries with a dash of sarcasm will definitely enjoy Sam's Song. It’s a perfect pick for readers looking for an entertaining and easy read. The British-style humour makes the story catchy.
Final Thoughts
Sam's Song is a fun and straightforward mystery that shines with its humor and engaging characters. Even though it leaves some mystery shrouded (or not), it’s still a delightful read worth recommending.
