Blurb:
With swollen feet and swelling belly, pregnant Ellie bravely
joins the nation’s tourists in seeing the sights in Washington, D.C. But a
fatal incident at the Metro station convinces Ellie that something is rotten in
the capitol city. Should she do the safe thing and pack her bags? Not likely
when too many people are telling lies, hiding secrets, and acting suspiciously.
Luckily, Ellie Avery is just the right woman to clean up the most mysterious
cases of murder—even if she has to brave the most dangerous byways in the
corridors of power.
Review:
Sara Rosett’s murder mystery, Getting Away Is Deadly, is written in
first person and set in Washington D.C. in modern times. It starts a bit slowly,
allowing for thorough character development. Rosett’s characters are
interesting and likeable, and the plot is engaging. It provides exhaustive
background details and then picks up speed about mid-book. From that point on,
the plot rushes through a surprising number of twists and turns to the
jaw-dropping conclusion. It’s not the type of thriller that kept me on the edge
of my seat, but somewhat of a remarkable riddle that I enjoyed and gladly
recommend to others. The author did incorporate a list of travel tips at the
end of most chapters which I initially found to be disruptive to the plot, but
I eventually began to skip over those odd intrusive pages to keep close to the
story line, and that worked well for me.
