Signed Sealed Dead
Book Review
It flawlessly combines the murder mystery genre flawlessly with a few key aspects of horror, crafting a truly gripping tale
I have loved murder mystery books for a long time, and “Signed Sealed Dead” by Cynthia Murphy is one of the best.
This book, which is told from Paige’s perspective, is a perfectly plotted murder mystery that will keep you hooked until the very last page. The characters and emotions are brilliantly written, and the plot will have your heart pounding on almost every page.
“Signed Sealed Dead” flawlessly combines the murder mystery genre with a few key aspects of horror, crafting a truly gripping tale.
I would recommend this book to those in their mid-teens onwards.
It is one of the best books I have ever read and I will definitely be reading more by Cynthia Murphy.
