Old World Murder by Kathleen Ernst

lakecake's review against another edition

2.0

I was really not feeling this book until basically the last 50 pages. Honestly, the characters were kind of crappy and there wasn't anyone that was really redeeming it for me, and the mystery didn't really develop until about 200 pages in. The ending gave me some hope for the next one, but not a ton.

By a regional author. Themes deeper than first expected. Will continue the series, and now I very much want to visit Old World Wisconsin. Anyone else down for a history road trip?

Being from Wisconsin, I loved all of the local references. I've been to most of the places in the book. I also liked how she worked in the historical artifacts. Enjoyable.

Nice story. Some twists that I did not anticipate.

Recommended by my pastor. Great book! Loved reading! Only downside is the cliffhanger-esque ending!
