I have calmed down this morning, but yesterday, when I finished reading “Murder Never Retires,” I was very upset to learn that this mystery is continued. I hate continued TV shows, and I was completely blindsided when I arrived at the end of this mystery only to discover that one of the plots is to be continued.I enjoyed the sleuthing process and the interaction among characters although placing Hillary Green on such a high pedestal was a bit over the top. I’m just not sure now, if I want to read a sequel because I may be faced with yet another continuation.

MURDER NEVER RETIRES a gripping crime mystery full of twists edition by FAITH MARTIN Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
She's back. And she has a special friend. Hillary is working non-stop with her new team to solve a very cold case. She has a new "supervisor" and maybe the sparks will fly. With all her new excitement and challenge, she finds she has an admirer. An admirer she doesn't want...
This story truly begins the next chapter of Hillary's crime solving career. Enough time has passed for the easy introduction of several new characters. The story holds together well and sets the framework for more exciting books for avid fans like me
I have all of the Hillary Greene series, and was delighted with them, however, this book was predictable from the beginning, but nevertheless an enjoyable adventure into British crime.
Once again, a well written fast paced story featuring one of my favourite characters and her supporting cast! I love these books, I find the characters really believable, the story nice and complex but not too convoluted and I just really enjoy them!
Would recommend starting at the first book, you'll find yourself hooked too.
...but it's not.
I've read and obviously enjoyed the entire series. So when I saw this book release I was all over it.
But it wasn't the same. It's a new cast of characters that I don't think measures up to the old , and admittedly comfortable one
(Hence the four stars.)
Hillary is still Hillary. The super detective that always solves the case.
It has been eighteen months since Hillary Greene retired from the police force and left on a cruise of British canals on the Mollern (her narrowboat). She comes back to the Thames Valley Police Headquarters as a consultant for the Crime Review Team (CRT). Her new boss is Superintendent Steven Crayle. He introduces Hillary to her new team Jimmy Jessop, Sam Pickles and Vivienne Tyrell. When Donleavy orders Crayle to give Hillary nothing but murder cases, Crayle decides to 'pick out the hardest, coldest, meanest ones' he can find...
Hillary and her CRT are assigned a twenty year-old murder case. Anna McRae, mother of three, was beaten to death in her home. Since she was having an affair with her brother-in-law, Anna's sister, Debbie, was the prime suspect, but nothing was ever proven. As she begins to investigate the case, Hillary has to deal with a secret admirer who has quickly moved from potential suitor to stalker. (this guy literally made my skin crawl)..
It was good to see Hillary return to police work (even as a contractor)... A lot of fuss is made over her past as a DI, she has been turned into some type of "legend" around HQ... I followed the clues as Hillary and her new team investigated this cold case, trying to figure out who murdered Anna McRae. I chose my suspect and eagerly read, turning the pages to find out if I was right (I was not)... I also wanted Hillary's stalker to get caught before it was too late... I did not guess the whodunnit or why, so the big reveal was a complete surprise!
AfterThoughts Not another "devastatingly handsome" boss (groan)! And, Hillary is already thinking about sleeping with him...
How is Hillary suddenly a redhead? She has never been described as such in the past eleven books (I believe that it was descrambler s chestnut brown), now we are frequently reminded that she is a redhead or has auburn hair...
It may be time for Faith Martin to find a new line of work. I have read everything about Hillary Greene since Murder on the Oxford Canal, and have seen the series getting less interesting and more repetitive. Oh, names and locations change, but everything stays the same. The author still does way too much describing of stuff -- what people are wearing, room decor, everyone's eye color (!), etc -- that doesn't make a rat's patoot to the story. Her 50-year-old cougar heroine's panting after her younger boss-cum-lover gets really old, and if Crayle makes her "toes curl" one more time I'm going to puke. The incessant fawning over Greene's rate of solutions ( 100% ! ) and her consummate, all but incredible skill at interviewing suspects, wheedling confessions out of the most recalcitrant of them, not to mention her innate ability to mold societal misfits of every stripe into valuable, productive, crime-fighting team members...and Jeez! She's only an English Lit major! But what's really off-putting is her clairvoyance. She and her team can be totally up a stump -- no leads, no suspects, no tips -- no nothing. Greene can't find her ample arse with both hands and a compass. And then, just like a bolt from the blue, she suddenly divines chapter and verse about the crime! Who, what, when, where, why, and how miraculously become clear. All the loose ends come together in a neat bundle, and Super Copper wins again! Another "gripping murder mystery full of twists" is dispatched. There is a sameness about all these British police procedurals which suggests that somewhere in the bowels of Joffe Books there is this algorithm where you fill in a few blanks, and the damn thing writes another book. I've no more time to waste on Martin and Greene.
I have calmed down this morning, but yesterday, when I finished reading “Murder Never Retires,” I was very upset to learn that this mystery is continued.
