Book Review: The Mausoleum Murder



Review: #43
Title: The Mausoleum Murder
Series: The Seven Fabulous Wonders
Author: Katherine Roberts
Read Before: yes
My Comments: This is one of the less interesting story in the series (it’s a series although they’re each independent stories), the plot isn’t as absorbing. Nevertheless it is still a good read, but even when you’re around 100 pages into the book you’re not absorbed by the storyline yet, and the whole thing just feels… uninteresting and very detached, like there’s not actually sympathy and not much is really revealed or done. As the story progresses, the suspense becomes more, and answers are started to be revealed, and some interesting answers at that. We get to know how the magic works for the main character Alexis, and it’s quite fascinating. As you near the end, you really want to know how it would all work out, as it seems either they would lose or win (the war), and what it would do to the losers, but the way it’s resolved is quite nice. The book has a nice ending and overall it’s a great book.
Rating: 6.5/10
Rereadability Factor: 5/10
