Dig Your Grave

Author – Carmen Radtke

Carmen Radtke has spent most of her life with ink on her fingers and a dangerously high pile of books and newspapers by her side.

She has worked as a newspaper reporter on two continents and always dreamt of becoming a novelist and screenwriter.

When she found herself crouched under her dining table, typing away on a novel between two earthquakes in Christchurch, New Zealand, she realised she was hooked for life.

When Carmen is not writing cozy mysteries, reading or dreaming of travel, she is busy acting as resident cat servant or tap-dancing (badly, but enthusiastic). She is currently working on her next Jack and Frances mystery.

The Blurb –

Marie Ingram is kind, generous, and lately, a killer …

When her childhood friend takes her own life to escape marital hell, Marie is devastated. But when the widower sets his eyes on a new wife, she knows what she has to do:

Make sure no other woman suffers the same fate.

Knowing she may not have long to live due to a serious illness, Marie considers this her parting gift to the world.

But doing good by breaking bad is a very easy habit to fall into, and there are plenty more evil people who seem to be untouchable by the law.

The question is, is Marie fast becoming irredeemable herself?

Today is my stop on the International Women’s day blog tour. Many thanks to Zooloo’s Book Tours for the chance to read and review.

My thoughts – I was intrigued by the title of this book and the cover, it has all the makings of a really good cosy crime book.

This is a little different to others in the genre but I really enjoyed the premise.

Marie has found herself living back in the UK with a terminal disease, she is convinced that all she needs to do now is count the days until the end. However when a friend of hers dies, she finds a new mission in life. She is determined to use the time she has left to put the worlds to rights.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and the thought behind it, it really made me think about the character and how I would act if I were in the same position.
