“The White Feather Murders” by Laraine Stephens : Review

Entertaining from start to finish

Everyone’s favourite Crime reporter, Reggie Da Costa is back on the case. This time he and his trusty sidekick, Dusty Rhodes, are looking into a series of mysterious deaths, linked by the presence of a white feather, and an appearance of the victim in ‘poison pen’ style articles printed in competing newspaper, The Truth (of which there is little). 

The story is a non-stop series of adventures, with shocking allegations (made against the victims and a few surprising characters), gangster wars, dodgy cops, counterfeit cash and society wedding plans. (Reggie and Ruby are due to wed. Will Reggie’s fashion choices upstage the bride?)

“The White Feather Murders” is the 5^th book in the Reggie Da Costa series. It read well independently of its predecessors, but do yourself a favour and read them all. You won’t be disappointed.
