Critic reviews
"Turn-of-the-century Toronto makes an evocative setting for murder in Except the Dying, a skillful first novel that is interesting both for its historical accuracy and its fully realized characters." (Amazon.com review)

Detective Thriller of 1899
The audio production was excellent. The narrator does an excellent job and uses a array of voices which are distinct.

Rather a dull "read"
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
I've watched the Murdoch Mysteries on TV, and really enjoyed them, so I thought I'd enjoy this book. Unfortunately, I found it to be very slow and dull. I wouldn't recommend it to a friend.
Would you be willing to try another book from Maureen Jennings? Why or why not?
I'd be reluctant because I didn't particularly enjoy this one.
Do you think Except the Dying needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
no

Not the Murdoch we know
I love Murdoch Mysteries on the TV so thought I'd give this a try. Whilst this is not the Murdoch from the TV series it was very enjoyable and I will get the others.
