Out Today: Murder Inside sequel

As Murder Inside made it to the Quick Reviews back in February, I though I ought to mention that the sequel comes out today in the UK. It’s called Six Motives for Murder and according to the blurb sees the women of Brackerly Open Prison catering for a wedding in the village when a murder takes place – and so of course they fall under suspicion, even though there are plenty of guests at the event who have more motive than they do. I really liked Nell as a character – and also the detail of her life as governor of the prison and the group of prisoners are also interesting. There’s loads of potential in this series -although I’m still not 100 percent sure how France Brody will keep finding scenarios for the women to be mixed up in murder – although outside work as part of their rehabilitation (which presumably the catering is) seems like a promising avenue.

I’ll be keeping my eyes out for it in the shops.
