Florence Brown was a shy, introverted woman living in London, close to her sister Phoebe, a confident and attractive actress… Always feeling in the shadow of her sister’s optimism, Florence suffered badly from depression. A disagreement leads the sisters to fall out, resulting in Florence making a half-hearted attempt at suicide. Soon afterwards, the doctor demands she takes a ‘holiday’ at a nursing home. But Florence soon runs away, finding herself in the company of Mrs. Jolly. Vulnerable and lonely, Florence confides in the comforting Mrs Jolly, who promises to help her until she is better. However, as weeks go by and there has been no trace of Florence in London, suspicions start to arise and it is left to Phoebe to piece the minimal clues together and work out exactly where her sister is. And who she is really with… With the help of Inspector Johnson, they must work together to try and decipher who this mysterious woman really is, but can Phoebe prove anything without getting stuck in the very trap she puts herself in? Come and Be Killed surprises and shocks until the very end.

A mystery in three parts.Part One: the "act"
Part Two: the back story
Part Three: consequences of the "act"
I liked this one. The story is engaging and interesting. Events and actions are believable and rational.
The villain and the victim are revealed in the first half of Part One. Once the scene is set, the real mystery then begins. How the crime is concealed. What happens when the villain might be recognized. We discover how the villain came to be the villain.
In the third part of the story, the villain becomes the hunted. The author sets up circumstances for another victim to fall into the hands of the villain.
A couple things kept this from a 5 star rating.
1. Many times, descriptions, and scene setups were overly descriptive. I found myself skimming some of those parts.
2. Quite often sections seemed to blend into one another. I would be reading about a conversation in a shop, then the very next sentence would be a scene in a police station two days later. There wouldn't be a paragraph break or any spacing letting me know to expect a change. I wonder if this was caused by formatting for the Kindle version.

Come and Be Killed Shelley Smith Books Reviews
good book
It kept me on the edge of my seat. Very well done
Come and Be Killed started slowly but there was enough there for me to keep reading. The writing style was quaint yet entertaining. The characters were very well developed and the plot became increasingly intriguing as it progressed. A great suspense from a previous era.
A mystery in three parts.
Part One the "act"
Part Two the back story
Part Three consequences of the "act"
