Summary
When Ruth Finlay accompanies her neighbour Doris Cleaver and the Mahjong club on a long weekend in the picturesque town of Bright, she’s hoping for a relaxing time researching the town for a feature article. Instead, the death of one of the tour party catapults her into an investigation she could surely do without.
Who killed Burt Braithwaite and why? Surely not one of the ladies of the Mahjong club? With too many suspects, only one small clue and few leads to follow up on, Ruth grows desperate to find answers. Her desperation grows as she finds herself under suspicion for the murder.
When Ruth discovers that a second death connected to the holiday home took place five years before, she is determined to discover a link. And to make things even more complicated, her neighbour and sidekick Doris disappears at the local farmer’s market.
A delightful Australian cozy mystery filled with quirky characters and unexpected twists, Too Bright for Murder is the second book in Isobel Blackthorn's Ruth Finlay Mysteries.

There was a lot going on in this book and while not a locked room mystery as such, there was some of the elements present. Such as Ruth and Doris finding themselves sharing a holiday home with a possible killer. This turned out to be interesting because not only were most of the suspects all in one place, it also meant that Ruth and Doris couldn't go about investigating like they wanted and had to keep everything on the down low. It also didn't help that not everyone was happy with Ruth being present and the tension and suspicion was high. Of course the case got solved but I must confess I had no clue who was behind it.
I liked characters, especially the bright and colourful Doris, who certainly did her part in solving the case and smoothing ruffled feather, like only she can. The author has defiantly created a delightful team in Ruth and Doris and I can't wait to join them on there next case.
When Doris struggles to make up the numbers for a mahjong weekend away, she turns to friend and neighbour Ruth. Ruth struggling with the death of her father is in need for a getaway and her publisher thinks so too. She just so happens to need a feature done on Bright, the same place Doris's group is heading. While it might not be what she had in mind, Ruth agrees and in doing so finds herself caught up in another puzzling death. One of the Mahjong group is found dead the morning after there arrive and the police are quick to chalk it up to accidental. Ruth and Doris don't think so and start there own investigation. Could one of there group be responsible? Everybody thinks Ruth is responsible being the new comer to the group and give her the cold shoulder, making hard to investigate. Can Ruth and Doris sneak around following up clues when all eyes are on them? They quickly discover the holiday home owners husband died and with connections to everybody at the home popping up, they have there work cut out for them.
I like the narrator and think she is a good choice for the series. I hope she will continue to be the author's narrator of choice throughout and the author has a lot more books in the pipe line.
