The Murder Hypothesis
The Murder Hypothesis | Sarah Wishart
1 post | 1 read
How do you catch a murderer without knowing who the victim is?
Science-obsessed Grace’s fresh start with her dad in Devon is derailed when the smart speaker in their new house comes alive at midnight and says: I’m going to murder you.
And after Grace begins to investigate, she uncovers four mysterious deaths – all supposedly accidents – that are linked to the device.
But only Grace knows that one of those deaths was actually a murder – and now she must identify both the victim and the killer, using the methodology of a chemistry experiment … before she ends up dead herself.

The Murder Hypothesis | Sarah Wishart

Mehso-so

Grace moves to the country in Devon with her dad for a fresh start after Grace suffered some (unspecified) trouble. They have an ex-service dog called Shelby who has also undergone a trauma of her own. The village is too quiet for Grace but it seems that may not be the whole truth. One night Grace is downstairs having trouble sleeping when the smart speaker (Alexa) in their rented house suddenly switches on & tells her “I'm going to murder you.“

OutsmartYourShelf When it happens again the next night, Grace realises the speaker has been pre-programmed & that the threat was aimed at one of its previous owners. When she starts to investigate, Grace uncovers four mysterious accidental deaths linked to the device. Her dad won't believe her so Grace treats the deaths like a science experiment, gathering evidence & testing her hypothesis that one of the deaths was in fact a murder. 1mo
OutsmartYourShelf Unfortunately this didn't quite live up to the early promise for me. It deals with mental health, trauma, & PTSD not only for the main character but for little Shelby too. The mystery itself wasn't bad (although the twist was pretty obvious) but the main character was a problem. Basically she is annoying as hell. Would these adults really spill their guts to a nosy 16-year-old who just arrived in the village? No, they'd tell her to take a hike! 1mo
OutsmartYourShelf Shelby is an absolute sweetheart though so I'm going to up the rating to 3⭐ just for her.

My thanks to #NetGalley & publishers, HarperCollins UK Childrens'/Harper Fire, for the opportunity to read an ARC.
