Review - The Invisible Case By Isabella Muir
The Invisible Case
A shocking death turns a homecoming into a nightmare.
It's Easter 1970 in the seaside town of Tamarisk Bay, and for one family the first Easter of a new decade brings a shocking tragedy. Amateur sleuth and professional librarian, Janie Juke, is settling into motherhood and looking forward to spending time with her family. When her Aunt Jessica is due back from Rome after nine years travelling around Europe, she arrives back in town with a new Italian friend, Luigi, and the whole family soon get embroiled in a tangle of mystery and suspicion, with death and passion at the heart of the story.
As time runs out on Luigi as prime suspect for murder, Janie has to use all of her powers of deduction in the footsteps of her hero, Hercule Poirot, to uncover the facts. Why did Luigi come to Tamarisk Bay? What is the truth about his family?
As Luigi's story unfolds, tragedy seems to haunt the past, present and unless Janie acts fast, possibly what is yet to come.

My Review - The Invisible Case by Isabella Muir
This is an Agathaesque style novel. With a bit of a train journey, boat trip and set in Italy and the UK.
The Good
A robbery on a train!!! You can't beat that. I am sure Luigi was supposed to be sexy, but I found him quite annoying throughout the book. But I did love sleuth Janie.
The Bad
Poor old Italian man Luigi - has a rough time getting to the UK and in the UK. His behavior and ways line him up as a prime murder suspect! That is not really bad, but I just never liked Luigi throughout the book even though I wanted to feel for him and ... all Italian men love their mother...
The Ugly
This is a good read for cozy mystery fans with a bit of family drama. Well-written and just not enough juice for me. But my mother would love this!
