I thought Purple Death was just okay, thankfully it was a freebie and I didn't waste money. I liked some things about the book. I enjoyed the method of murder used by the killer, the strange, sinister poisoning. This is written very well. However, I found the police came across as quite incompetent at times with some parts of the investigation poorly written. This didn't work as well as impacted my enjoyment of a well-thought out story. I wouldn't recommend this.
