The Bradgate Park Murders: 2 (Carlos Jacobi) Paperback – 1 May 2021

Great story but had a very simple ending . Although the Masters character is a bit repetitive in his actions. I thoroughly enjoyed the book regardless .

A well-written murder mystery novel. A well-developed plot and interesting characters kept me reading. Looking forward to other books in this series.

Loving these books-can’t to read the next one! Hoping there will be more in the series soon-come on Dawn, get writing!

Really brought this book only because the story is based near where I live. But I really enjoyed the story, and found the story line interesting. Shall be reading more from this author. Love a good murder mystery.

Interesting story. Interesting characters you get to know and care about. Good pace. Brisk without being rushed. Leaves you wanting more.

This was good story which I found hard to put down. It is the 2nd book in the series and I enjoyed as much as the first one, but with just one exception. I prefer my books to be stand alone stories. So the introduction of a "Mr Big" character hiding in the shadows will not encourage me continue with the series, which is a shame as I like the lead characters.

Having read the first Carlos Jacobi book, it was good to follow his investigation into the mysterious deaths of three campers, leading to a complex case involving some really nasty bad guys. I thoroughly enjoyed this plot and look forward to finding what happens next when the next in the series comes out.

A very long winded story full of cliche characters and with an improbable plot to say the least.

I thoroughly enjoy Dawn Brookes' writing. Mysteries of the cozy nature - no language or gory details. Still curious about Carlos' and Masters' issues but I'm guessing we'll hear about them eventually - can't remember if it came up in the Rachel Prince mystery series. I love the way Dawn develops characters and doesn't make them all "perfect". Looking forward to the next one.

As someone who has read eight (8) of the Rachel Prince mystery series and loved them all, I was anxious to read the second book in the Carolos Jacobi series. Dawn Brookes doesn’t disappoint. Although a little different in style than her cruise mysteries, Dawn has perfected the art of weaving character and location descriptions throughout the story in a way that does not interrupt the storyline. Her dialog style flows smoothly, reads naturally, and includes both a sense of humor and emotion when needed. As a resident of Texas, I get a kick out of checking out the definition of some uniquely British words instead of me having to explain our Texas slang. .It was easy and comfortable getting get to know Carlos and Fiona, and I fell in love with Lady. Although I had my suspicions of “who done it,” I couldn’t be sure until the end as there were several twists and turns along the way.Since there are a lot of secondary characters, I might suggest the addition of an appendix at the end to list all the characters by name with a few words of description to serve as a reminder of who they were. (It’s hard to go back and easily find a specific detail on a Kindle.)I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who wants to escape into the world of a cozy murder without an excess amount of violence, gratuitous sex and vulgar language. This mystery has believable characters, and a wonderfully presented story. At the end of the day, it was hard to put the book down. I couldn’t wait to get back to it to see what happened next.

Carlos Jacobi does it again. Very good mystery and Fiona is back to make this PI and cop team work out another good story. Hope there are more.

I bought The Bradgate Park Murders in Large Print Format and I absolutely loved it.It was a great mystery.I can't wait to read more in this series!

Good murder mystery with lots of twists and turns will keep you turning pages.
