An Emily Kincaid Mystery

review 1: Well, of course I like this because I love the local color. But there was more to like--the little introspective bits, the cast of characters, the snarky tone. As a mystery/thriller it suffered from being part of its genre--there had to be a dramatic showdown with gruesome events and Extreme Tension. And, like all mystery heroines, it seems, Emily is prone to putting herself into stupidly dangerous situations. But that--I think--is what readers expect; they'd sputter if nobody was left gored at the end. Already picked up another Dead book.
review 2: Freelance reporter Emily Kincaid and her testy friend, Deputy Dolly Wakowski, set out to investigate the murders of a woman and a dog and are alarmed to discover that there seems to be a concerted campaign to intimi... moredate many of the migrants in their rural area. In the meantime, Emily is hired by a flamboyant author to edit his manuscript and begins to think there’s something very creepy about the story he has written and that perhaps there is a connection to what’s going on in the community. A growing list of crimes and Dolly’s unexplained moodiness add to the mystery and Emily eventually finds herself at a most unusual and disturbing party.Cozy readers will be put off by a fair amount of violence and descriptions of animal cruelty but many will find this fourth entry in the series to be well worth reading, thanks to the author’s tight prose and her willingness to address difficult subjects. I, for one, hope there will be many more books to come.Reviewed by Lelia Taylor, May 2011. less
