A Death in Door County is more like classic cozy mysteries, but I like that there's a depth to Morgan's character. She have a trust issues and its come to her difficult past that connected to her parent's death. That's why she hesitate when Jon try to pursue her romantically, although Jon itself have some rough past as well. I liked the description of the Door Country, its connection with the shipwrecks and also cryptids because the size of Lake Michigan as one of the Great Lakes. The explanation of cryptids, shipwreck, etc are pretty fascinating to read although some passage felt like just taken from article. Not only Morgan, but the employer of Odd and Ends bookstore are charming as well, from the kind and motherly Rita to the techno-expert Devon. Not only they are employee, but they offer Morgan some help, directly and indirectly.
There's some things unbelievable and outlandish moment, like when Morgan got struck by the strange creature in the middle of the lake, but she manage to swim to the shore while the unlucky victims were not or maybe I'm just being jealous because I can't swim, lel. The culprit is not that easily to guess although I can guess the motive in the 2/3 part of the books. I would love to read more about Morgan, with her interaction with her dog, Newt and if maybe she will decide to be romantically involved with Jon Flanders. Also, I wish Ryan will give a hints for any clue behind Morgan parents death as well.
