I thoroughly enjoyed this mystery. I liked where the story takes you – especially when the main character of the book becomes suspect number one in a murder investigation. I found myself wishing that the book was a little longer, as I have no doubt it would have helped you get to know the characters on a deeper level. The great thing about it, though, is that it dug right in to the mystery – a quality that a lot of mysteries today struggle with. It never was bogged down with too much detail which made the flow of the story a very nice relief.
The character of Jessie is a hoot! True to a “cozy mystery” type of character, wherever she goes, trouble and mayhem follow. But her tenacity out shines her bad luck and makes her a good, strong character. Her relationship with the sheriff, Gil, was one of my favorite parts of the book. They make a good team, even when they disagree.
As a fan of mystery, I was surprised when this one sucked me in. It kept me engaged from start to finish, and when it was over, I wished it wasn’t. Fans of the genre will find a real treat here.
