Clues to You (Love in the Comptons #3) by Claire Huston
About the Book: One murder mystery weekend. Two rival sleuths.
They're looking for answers. But will they find love?
Kate Brannon is delighted to be attending her first murder mystery weekend in a movie-worthy Victorian manor house. Still getting over being dumped, cracking the case would be a welcome boost to her flagging confidence. And the prize money wouldn't hurt either.
But Kate's dreams of victory become a nightmare with the arrival of Max Ravenscroft. Smart, enigmatic and annoyingly handsome, Max is Kate's sleuthing nemesis.
When she and Max are forced to work together, Kate despairs. But, as the investigation brings them closer, she finds being his partner in solving crime isn't all bad.
With growing suspicions that the game is rigged against them, can Kate and Max beat the odds to find the killer? And, as their partnership deepens, can they find romance too?
A sweet romantic comedy with a cosy mystery at its heart. Perfect for fans of Kathryn Freeman, Laura Jane Williams and Katie Fforde.
Book Three in the Love in the Comptons series. These are standalone romcoms with recurring characters and locations and can be read in any order.
5 Stars: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Clues to You is the 3rd book in the Love in the Comptons series, but each book is a standalone story with some of the characters crossing over. This was a very unique storyline and I loved it. Kate Brannon is a huge mystery buff and in the past enjoyed attending mystery parties where they all played roles and solved a murder. Since a few people moved away, including her, she hasn't done one, but is now attending her first murder mystery weekend in a movie-worthy Victorian manor house. She is there with her best friend, Bella, Bella's fiance Evan and her nemesis, Max Ravenscroft. She plans to make the best of it and work with her team, but as Max and Kate work together to solve the mystery and win the $50,000, they discover that they both had the wrong idea when it came to each other.
This was such a fun story. I love mysteries, but seldom figure out the culprit. Kate is one smart cookie. She sees things others don't, puts clues together in interesting ways and is able to deduce and insinuate better than others. She is also a primary school teacher who loves her job, is caring, fun and easygoing most of the time. Max is handsome and brooding and it is hard to tell what he is thinking. Also smart and able to deduce things, he sometimes misses the obvious. He keeps his feelings close to his chest and doesn't open up easily. Watching Kate and Max get to know each other was enjoyable, and seeing them put together the pieces for the mystery impressed me. The secondary characters were written. Bella and Kate had a wonderful friendship and everyone needs a BFF like that who will go to bat and stick up for you. Clues to You is a mystery, a story about friendship, self-esteem, personal growth, trust and mystery all with a touch of humour. I loved this one and recommend it to those who enjoy a good, clean, fun, mystery, romance.
