Sep 05, Alicia rated it liked it Shelves: pleasureintrigue-and-hijinksepics-and-series. I honestly admit, I'm a Murdoch Mysteries: Except the Dying confused by this book. On the one hand, I really like it, but on the other, I am quite annoyed with it. Let me break it down into what worked and what didn't. Warning, here there be spoilers! What worked: The attention to detail. This book is slow, building on the minutiae of daily life. As each day goes by, you learn more of the aspects of Victorian Canadian daily interactions. I liked this. There wasn't any sudden hook to force the characters into impossible reactive I honestly admit, I'm a bit confused by this book. There wasn't any sudden hook to force the characters into impossible reactive scenarios, and there was no real feel of urgency. A girl is found dead. Well now what? Let's go through the motions, step by step. I liked seeing that process. What kinda worked: -The jumping around of narrative. On the one hand, it can be seen as distracted ploy to Murdoch Mysteries: Except the Dying the reader think that it could be any of the characters. Since it never reveals who these character are doing these nefarious deeds, you just have to assume and piece it together, but often the assumption is wrong. I liked how it let you see more insight into some of the characters, but on the other, Murdoch Mysteries: Except the Dying felt like it weakened the overall book. Murdoch is not aware of these happenings, so if feels like the reader shouldn't be either. Also, at times it felt very much like a purposeful distraction to keep the reader guessing. I guess I'm bias because I fell in love with Yannick Bisson's portrayal of the perfect stoic, gentlemanly scholar. This Murdoch seems to lack a defining character. He's methodical and clever enough, I suppose, but it definitely doesn't seem as though he keeps up with the forefront of scientific discovery and knowledge that so emboldens the Bisson character. This Murdoch is rougher and more life-hardened. He swears a bit more, loses his cool a bit faster, drinks a bit more, and all in all, seems like the everyday kind of man, just doing his bit, toiling away, keeping his mouth shut to his superiors, and just trying to get by. Murdoch solves this case, not through scientific experimentation or any notes of brilliance, but through copious interviews and following up on alibis. In fact, I was a bit disappointing that this case was solved by basically getting all Murdoch Mysteries: Except the Dying main suspects together in the Murdoch Mysteries: Except the Dying room and watching as they ratted each other out. What didn't work: -The motive. I don't know if I read this book too fast or what, but I couldn't find a motive. It seemed as though several events were going on, but not one addressed the question of why Therese died. We found out why she left, but not really what happened to her after. Was it coincidence that she was picked up? Was the death intentional? Was it a drugged orgy gone wrong? Just what kind of sordid stuff was the alderman involved in, and why was his servant so intent on killing everyone to "tie up loose end" that didn't seem to even be relevant? For a book that spent so much time on crafting the Murdoch Mysteries: Except the Dying of Victorian Toronto, it seems a let down that the same attention to detail was left out of the character motive and psychology. I finished the booking thinking nothing made sense. I was more confused, and annoyed that there was no sense of closure. Will I read more Murdoch Mysteries? Just because I loved how detailed Murdoch Mysteries: Except the Dying well written the historical scenes were. I just hope that the storylines get more flushed out. View all 9 comments. I love the Toronto-set Murdoch Mysteries television show, and this first book in the series that inspired it is even more interesting. Strange, funny and grounded in the history of Canada, this book is like a Northern Sherlock Holmes. View 1 comment. Join Murdoch as he begins a case, attempting to find the cold blooded murderer of an innocent teenage girl Twist in and out through the turns and flips as the story unfolds and mirror Murdoch as he figures out just who had done the heinous crime. This is of course, the predecessor to the television series which I happen to be a massive fan of! That being said, I truly do love the book version of Murdoch, too, and I enjoy them both very much the same! They have formed as two separate characters to me, but I love them both dearly and I cannot help but see book Murdoch as Yannick, too, even though he's described as having a moustache! The appearance of Crabtree was brilliant; though I hope to see more of him in later novels so to get a feel for this version of his wonderful character! The very same goes for Brackenreid; I can't wait to see his and Murdoch's day to day conflicts! The characters are all well rounded and they leave you yearning to see more of them; they don't seem square and boring and each character has a distinguishing Murdoch Mysteries: Except the Dying about them so you don't feel that it's the same sort of character duplicated; even the generic constables at the station house have quite telling differences about them to help you differentiate between them. It's utterly charming how each character also possesses different views and varying dialogues; which adds Murdoch Mysteries: Except the Dying and further depth to the story. The back stories are also really good for the characters too and it's so nice to learn about them as we go along! The Murdoch Mysteries: Except the Dying in this is strong, it keeps you guessing and completely pulls you in from the first page right until the very end - which, by the end, my heart was hammering and my eyes were wide; which is a sign of a brilliantly formed mystery novel. Jennings writes in such a way that you simply can't guess from the off "who dunnit", but begins to pepper clues here and there so that you can piece them together as Murdoch does - which helps the reader feel truly connected with the story and as if they are working alongside the detective. I felt like another Constable opposed to someone reading some documents about a case; it was written so well that I felt part of it rather than like an onlooker. The whole story was really tense and interesting all the way throughout and there definitely weren't any dull moments throughout - it kept me on my toes and well and truly kept me thinking; there was never a turn of the page whereby a thought hadn't crossed my mind. It was extremely well thought out and there was no plot holes - everything had been covered and sealed with Murdoch Mysteries: Except the Dying extremely brilliant turn of events. I can safely say that the "climax" of the story was incredibly intense and I felt goosebumps, my heart was hammering and I was feeling so pulled into the story that I forgot there was a world surrounding me outside of the book. It was absolutely phenomenal how Jennings made the climax so easy to read, so thrilling without any slight dose of monotony or predictability. Ahhh, it was wonderful! For me, the mystery was tense, the story was well written, the plot was well thought Murdoch Mysteries: Except the Dying and interesting and the writing was superb and kept up with the time era that it was written in; I loved how it was obvious that research had taken place in order to make even minor details like how a gas lamp was lit back then had been looked into in order to get it right! Everything was accurate to the time it was based within - even down to the entirety of the vocabulary - and it was thoroughly exciting to read. Murdoch Mysteries, Except the Dying on iTunes
