When I start the book I would want it to start off interesting and really pull me in. The beginning was boring and that is what nearly made me put this down. In the beginning the pace was very slow and I nearly put this down and marked it as ‘did not finish’ but I decided to stick through this story in case there would be more excitement throughout the book. I think the murder behind Charles Foxley was well thought out and in depth and that was one of the things I did enjoy while reading this.īut, I’m going to be honest, there were quite a lot of things I did not enjoy. There were somethings I enjoyed, like the detail behind the murder and the process that Jane had to do in order to investigate Charles’ murder, as well as the plot. I am a huge fan of murder mystery so when I got the ARC for this book I was originally very excited to read this. I rated Blunt Force two stars because I did not enjoy this as much as I thought I would. Jane is a determined detective and as one of the few female detectives, she needs to fight her way for the other officers in the force to see her true potential.

Our main character, Detective Jane Tennison investigates the brutal murder of Charles Foxley and Blunt Force is the story of how Jane discovers the truth behind his murder. Blunt Force by Lynda La Plante is a murder mystery and a perfect alternative for a modern Agatha Christie.
