review 1: I liked the first book in this series, but it's this second book that has me adoring the series. I can often guess who the murderer is in whodunnits, but in both this and Wicked Autumn I honestly had no clue until it was revealed at the end. But what I really appreciate about thi...

review 1: This was an okay mystery novel. It wasn't one of my favorites. It took about 100 pages to finally get the death that is mentioned in the synopsis. The first 100 pages is kind of just a filler of back stories. It wasn't a thrilling lead up to the death either. I did like the writi...
