Death of the Limping Man is the first entry in
Urquhart & MacDonald Murder Mysteries by D.E. Ring, and it is an
enthralling read for murder and mystery fans. Set in the years after WWII, the
narrative transports readers to a seemingly idyllic small town overlooking the
water. Life has been normal in the town until two kids witness the death of a
limping man. Inspector Jimmy Urquhart is pulled into the most complicated case
of his burgeoning career, being a rookie and lacking experience. Together with
Alexandra MacDonald, a local reporter, Urquhart will have to uncover why the
City Clerk, a survivor of polio, and a man who seems to break no rules gets
killed. As the investigation continues, Urquhart quickly understands that the victim
of the murder is as mysterious as the killer is elusive. Can he uncover every
layer of the crime and unveil the face of the killer?
D.E. Ring is a gifted storyteller who surprises readers at
every turn with plot twists. The twisty tale features characters that are
sophisticated and the mystery builds up through every page. The setting itself
feels like a character in its own right, a place that seems welcoming and
peaceful but that is, in fact, a hideout for smugglers and the mafia. The
relationships are intelligently explored and the pulse of the small town is impeccably
captured. The narrative voice is fresh and fun to listen to; the setting is
perfect for a cozy mystery; the quirky characters leap off the pages with life, and an endearing cast that will capture the interest of readers as they turn over
the pages wanting to know who's committed the murder. Yes, the voice is a rich
vintage that settles firmly with the humor. Death of the Limping Man is
the first installment that is beautiful, deft, and balanced, and D.E. Ring
establishes himself as a master storyteller to keep an eye on. Can't wait to
see what happens in the next installment.
