Book Review: Death Stalks Kettle Street - John Bowen


Some accidents are no accident...

Someone is murdering Greg Unsworth's neighbours and staging the deaths to look like accidents.
Greg knows the truth, but when he's grappling with OCD and simply closing his front door and crossing the road are a battle, how is he supposed to catch a serial killer?


From the internationally bestselling author of Where the Dead Walk, Vessel and Cold Sweats & Vignettes comes a cosy murder mystery with a difference...
Meet Greg Unsworth, afflicted with OCD, who begins to realize that a series of fatal accidents on his street are in fact a series of murders. After encountering Beth Grue at the scene of one such crime, the two bond over their shared fears and suspicions, and struggles: Beth has cerebral palsy. When the police repeatedly dismiss their concerns, they take matters into their own hands and attempt to discover the killer's identity and expose him...

First and foremost let me start by saying this was completely unputdownable! Not your traditional who-dun-it, Death Stalks Kettle Street is a character fueled murder mystery, cleverly written, shining a comedic insight into the quintessential English street.
Each little character is given just enough time to allow you to get to know them, each main character is written in a way to make you fall in love with them. The one thing I loved about this book was that each of the main characters was flawed in their own way, and this in itself makes them perfect. Each character is real. You feel like you know then, you get the opportunity to get to know them as if you were meeting them in real life, bumping into new friends for coffee or at work until they become life long friends.The author has managed to create enough atmosphere to keep you intrigued in the story, without rushing you too quickly from one plot point to another, as often happens with this type of story. It’s a story to read while eating cake and spying on your neighbours.
