The Murder Notebooks Dead Time Anne Cassidy Books

This book got off to a bit of a slow start at the beginning, but soon became exciting when a boy gets murdered, and then, later, his girlfriend, too. All the questions that I had been asking myself were answered in the last part of the story, and there was an interesting plot behind it. This book taught me that any novel in any genre can be interesting, if written properly, no matter what it seems like from the beginning. I would recommend this book to all ages. It's a bit like "Theodore Boone:the Abduction" by John Grisham, but on a much more serious scale.

Review

"Dead Time" by Anne Cassidy was a good YA mystery series 'The Murder Notebooks #1 .....setting in London that was during the common law marriages...bringing to life... the siblings.... Rose who was 12 and her step brother Joshua was 14. Rose's mother and Joshua's father went out to dinner and simply never returned. What happened to them? Rose and Joshua separate and then later after Joshua attends the university where Rose now 17 lives with her grandmother. They are now trying to form a relationship that proves to have become complicated. Roses has excepted what the officials had said of her mothers death but Joshua hasn't and continues to investigate which causes problems for Rose. On top of this Rose witness another murder and she takes off to find the killer her her classmate not knowing that there would be a lick to the disappearance of her parents. Now this mystery takes off and this is where I say You must pick up "Dead Time" to see how this will all turn out. I found it quite interesting read and I did like the third person narrative that helped keep things quite a mystery. The characters were all really interesting... especially Henry and Skeggsie.

If you are looking for some mystery, intrigue and danger you have come to the right place..."Dead Time" will give you all of this and I would recommend this novel to you as a good YA read.
This book was another Mara Dyer for me. I read the whole thing, and at the end, I didn't feel like a single question had been answered. I know this is the start of a series, but when authors do this, it makes me not want to continue a series. The main plot didn't seem to advance at all. I felt like I ran in a giant circle for a few hours. Not fun. At least answer the major question posed by the book, you know? It's frustrating, and it turns readers off. It turned this reader off, anyway. Also, the use of British colloquial phrases threw me since I'm not British. It's best to keep the colloquialisms to a minimum when writing a novel if you plan on having an international audience. Furthermore, I really didn't like Rose. She just wasn't that bright, and that bothered me. It's hard for me to get into a book when I don't like the main character.

There were things I liked about this book, however. First off, the characters were well-developed, even if some of them weren't likable *coughRosecough*. Furthermore, the mystery kept me intrigued even if the plot didn't really advance. It was a suspenseful read, and I couldn't put the book down until I finished. The pacing was pretty spot on, and the book didn't drag in many places. The idea is a bit unique and intriguing. I feel that this series has a lot of potential, and I *may* check out the next book from the library just to see what happens next, if I get over my bitterness about the inconclusive ending by then. Also, there were two sub-plots, and the author did an excellent job of keeping everything straight. But I don't feel like we advanced any with Josh and Rose's relationship, either.

Basically, I feel that there is a lot of room for improvement in this book, but the series does have potential. As I stated, I may check the next installment out from the library first to see how I feel about it. Overall, I'd recommend this book to lovers of mystery. I'd also recommend checking it out from the library first to make sure this book is for you. If you don't mind really open-ended cliffhangers for endings, then you should like this book just fine.
I enjoyed Dead Time. As a crime novel for teenagers, it’s obviously much lighter than adult crime fiction I enjoy but still a good read.

I wasn’t overly enthusiastic about the characters but I’d like to see them developed in further books in the series. I couldn’t warm to Rose. I thought she was very unpleasant at times and shared a similar opinion to the girl’s at boarding school and college. However, she started to change a little towards the end so I’d like to see how she develops.

The main strength of the book is the plot and pacing. I liked all the mystery and suspense. The novel is paced really well – not too fast so I couldn’t keep up with what was happening and not to slow I was bored. The pacing was spot on and held my attention from start to finish.

There are a lot of unanswered questions at the end of Dead Time so I sort of need to read the other books in the series to find out what happens. I did find a few surprises which impressed me. I hate it when I can see what’s coming a mile away.
This book got off to a bit of a slow start at the beginning, but soon became exciting when a boy gets murdered, and then, later, his girlfriend, too. All the questions that I had been asking myself were answered in the last part of the story, and there was an interesting plot behind it. This book taught me that any novel in any genre can be interesting, if written properly, no matter what it seems like from the beginning. I would recommend this book to all ages. It's a bit like "Theodore Boonethe Abduction" by John Grisham, but on a much more serious scale.
