Maggie Sullivan Mystery

review 1: I got this off bookbub.com for free. The author has a novel take: a female detective set in noir fiction. I think she did a pretty nice job overall and with appealing characters. I could have used more character development, for example I liked Flora and would have liked to hear more about her. I though the mystery was pretty straight forward, about as complex as say a Robert B. Parker novel. I thought it’s was edited pretty well although I was sometimes confused about who was speaking. I thought the novel was slow in some places (especially at the beginning), but I liked the book overall.
review 2: Take Kinsey Milhone, put her in a time machine and send her back several decades, and you have Maggie Sullivan - a female PI trying to make her way in pre-WW2 Day... moreton, Ohio. I felt the book had just enough history and cultural references to make it believable and set the time and place, while focusing primarily on the characters and the plot. There was a hint of a romance to come, but the story did not get bogged down by the sexual escapades that seem to fill a lot of current mysteries. Maggie was a fun and interesting character - independent, hard-working, a little foolhardy at times, and loyal to her friends. This was the most enjoyable mystery I have read in a while. less
