Summary
When her zany neighbour Doris Cleaver invites Ruth Finlay on a hiking tour with a mixed group of trauma survivors, neither anticipates that they'll have to solve a murder.
When one of the party, a nurse from Melbourne, is found dead in her room before they’ve even started the hike in Apollo Bay, they know there is a killer in their midst. Then, on that same day, one of the tour group disappears.
As Ruth battles a bout of influenza that leaves her weak and scarcely able to think, Doris gets up to her usual cantankerous antics. But are they being followed and why does the group seem to have a death wish, putting themselves in mortal danger on a daily basis?
An unputdownable mystery set in a wilderness of steep cliffs and tidal beaches, Murder on the Great Ocean Walk is the fourth book in Isobel Blackthorn's Ruth Finlay Mysteries series.

I know this is only book four in the series but so far the author has come up with new and inventive ways to keep the series fresh and entertaining. Each book is a standalone and as I have enjoyed every book in this this quirky cozy series, I would recommend you read them and not miss out on the fun.
This book is much more than just working out who amongst the group was a killer, as Ruth also had to struggle to stay alive as she hiked the trail. This meant you were treated to a little slice of Australia with out having to leave the comfort of your favourite chair or face the dangers. I am not sure if the places, beaches or trails they visited are real but it was so easy to imagine as the story unfolded it was like you were there with them.
I like the characters and that is a big reason why I keep returning to the series, if only to see what Doris is up to next. Although I must admit the mystery side of the series is just as compelling. I had no clue who the kill was and like Ruth had decided on the wrong person. I can't wait for there next adventure.
As Ruth goes down with a cold, the last thing she needs is to be talked into going on a hiking tour but she has never been able to say 'no' to her friend and neighbour, Doris. She might even be able to use the experience in an article. That is until one of there group dies in her hotel room and the hike has hardly started. With the hiking guilds seeming more willing to kill them on the treacherous paths, school lunches rather than the elaborate affair they were promised, killer waves, sore muscles and even worse a member of there group going missing, Ruth begins to wonder if her cold is the least of the things might get her killed. Can Ruth and Doris find a killer? And a missing man?
I liked the narrator. She made the story and the characters come to life with just the use of her voice.
