Death in the Offing by D.E. Ring is the second book in the
Urquhart & MacDonald Murder Mysteries, a perfect read for fans of murder
mystery.
Inspector Jimmy Urquhart and Sandy (Notepad)
MacDonald are the new couple in town and they head to Manhattan for their
honeymoon. Jimmy is worried about Sandy's familiarity not only with the city
but with some of the well-known people. They go back to Barrachois for the
final week of their honeymoon as guests to the opening of a new hotel. It is a
private event and Jimmy and Notepad are making the best of it until a blizzard
blocks the road, cutting off power and other forms of communication. The fun is
ended when a body of a woman is found, sitting in a chair in her room, with snow
on her bare foot. Will she be the last and who is behind the murder?
The story begins with the preparations of the
wedding and introduces readers to the key characters and the setting. The
circle of friends of Jimmy and Notepad are beautifully explored. Then comes the
mystery and the many questions related to the deaths. It is a heady, gripping,
and page-turning story that is written in exquisite prose and that features
engaging dialogues. I loved the drama, the gorgeously written characters, and
the mystery that transforms the story into a propulsive tale. Death in the
Offing is the perfect meld of a thrilling detective story and an
unforgettable narrative with sophisticated characters, and Ring’s descriptions
are detailed capturing elements of the setting as well as the inner worlds of
the characters with clarity.
