The pace was moderate and steady with some complex twists and an exceptional red herring or three. The characters are well developed and the suspense builds. A fine read.
I requested and received an EARC from Joffe Books via NetGalley.

Twenty-eight year old Ashley Summers, widow, has finally moves on and meets Tim Bennett. Then she disappears. Ex-detective Ray Flowers is employed to find her. But nothing is simple, as lives are threatened and lost.
An entertaining and well-written modern mystery thriller with its cast of varied characters. Another good addition to this series

Although The Room with Eight Windows is just being released now (July, 2023), it reads like top-notch work from the "golden age" of mystery fiction. Jane A. Adams shares a good deal with the readers, so one has a sense of where the mystery is heading, but even with that fact, it is full of moments when "what next?" becomes a more and more pressing question.

This is the 9th volume in a series, but the first that I've read—and it definitely has me wanting to read more. But I can attest to the fact that it works well as a first-read-in-the-series. I didn't have trouble knowing who the characters were. I had a sense both of their evolution in this one novel, but also in previous novels. Adams deftly gives readers a generous helping of backstory, which makes engaging with individual characters easy.

Henry Johnstone, the key figure of the series, is a Detective Chief Inspector who has been forced to retire due to an injury he suffered on a previous case. His sister has finagled a job for him cataloging the library of a recently deceased man, hoping it will prove satisfying—Johnstone is an active reader. Johnstone stays in the home of the deceased man in, of course, the room with eight windows. There should be no one in the house except him, and the local girl who drops in one a day with a dinner for him, but he hears footsteps from an attic he can't find and in other unexpected areas in the home. Feeling lessened because of the physical injury, he's now wondering whether his mental faculties are weakening as well.

If you enjoy having a good mystery for your beach read, I can definitely recommend The Room with Eight Windows. Of course, you could also read it on a mountaintop, beside a creek, or in the comfort of your own home. If you like classic mysteries, this is a title you'll definitely enjoy.
