A Murderer Heart eBook Julie Elizabeth Powell

A murderer's heart was a short but entertaining book about a female psychiatrist who becomes involved in a murder mystery surrounding her and her friends/patients. Well plotted and not predictable, I didn't work out who the villain was until the author made it obvious in the last few chapters. I particularly enjoyed the little romantic twist at the end, which I hadn't seen coming at all. This was a very clean (no profanity, no graphic violence, no sex) novel that was easy to read.

A Murderer Heart eBook Julie Elizabeth Powell Reviews

Anne Blake, psychiatrist, is good at her job and believes that even the most sick at heart can be cured...or at least saved enough that they can lead a better life. But maybe she's wrong? Maybe within a murderer's heart, evil lurks and nothing can be done except to save yourself?

This is a solid, competent book, with some extremely good writing, verging, sometimes on excellent. The author has a finely honed sense of place, and her descriptions are brief but vivid. Her use of language is impeccable.

Although her characters come across to me as somewhat generic, there are touches of personality that do individualize them, at least to a degree. For the most part, I did find her female characters almost saccharine, and that overly developed sweetness wasn’t always appropriate. However, none of her characters was either uninteresting or entirely unbelievable.

Her mystery is very nicely constructed, and though I had narrowed the suspects down to 2, it wasn’t until almost the end of the book that I figured out who the murderer was. Again, the author fell a little short in my estimation of her villain’s motivation, it was almost stereotypical of such criminals, but again, it was well thought out and well presented. For me, this author is of interest because I sense a potential in her writing, and think that, when she fully comes into her voice, she will become a very strong voice indeed in the mystery field. She has the makings of a stellar mystery writer, and I want to be around when she breaks through and creates something brilliant, which I firmly believe she will.

The narration was extremely professional and competent in all respects, and, despite the fairly large number of very similar female characters, she was able to give them unique voicing, by making excellent use of inflection, pacing of speech, and expression.

I give both book and author 4 out of 5 stars.

I received this book in exchange for this unbiased review, courtesy of AudioBookBlast dot com.
I thoroughly enjoyed this story!

Dr Anne Blake is a psychiatrist with her own practice and she also helps out at the Tadmore Psychiatric Hospital as well. Unmarried, yet fulfilled in a job she loves, Anne is a kind and thoughtful person, helping everyone she can, both professionally and personally. She is lucky to have a fantastic Personal Assistant, Sam, who seems in tune with her and keeps her professional world in order.

Naturally, when she discovers that a good friend thinks she may be in danger Anne does all she can to help and support her. However, it soon becomes apparent that events are taking a much more sinister turn, there is a killer at large…

As the plot thickens this story evolves wonderfully, with plenty of twists and turns and a surprising ending.
This book is a wonderful read!!! The characters are so real and the story is intriguing! As I got closer to the
end, I couldn't put my down!!! Very enjoyable!
In parts, the story held some cuteness to it. In others, very frightening to know that there are people out there who this story relates to. Kind of a surprise ending .
There were way too many pages where nothing happened. I quickly found myself flipping pages to get to where something of importance might occur. And although I cannot be specific because I might spoil the book for someone else, a very importance contradiction occurs toward the end of the book that ruined the entire read for me.
I hope I do this book justice. It has taken me a long time to write this. I don't give away ANYTHING in my reviews, because I don't like to read ones that do.

A Murders's Heart....

Great Characters,

Anne is a psychiatrist who really listens to her patients, and likes to think she can help them all. She never met a patient she wouldn't help.

Sam is Anne's assistant/right hand man...who may have a secret or two.

Barbara is one of Anne's Best Friends and also a Nurse at Tadmore Psychiatric Hospital.

Jenny, Anne's other Best Friend. She's really got it all, but she is a bit on the skiddish side, for good reason.

Throw in a few psychiatric patients, stalker, killer, and you will enjoy this book.

It was nice to read something that the killer wasn't obvious after the first murder.

I have found a new author to add to my list.... Enjoy reading, I did.
