Going Local by Jamie Harrison

2.0

As with the first one in this mystery series set in a small town in Montana, I liked the characters and the setting a lot, and the author's writing style is clever, funny and enjoyable. (3 stars) However, as with the first one, she can't plot a mystery, and I found the ending deeply disappointing -- thrown together and not fair-play at all (as in, on the third to last page we're just told why the background of one of the plotters enabled this person to accomplish all of it -- none of it had been mentioned before). (1 star) I gave the whole series back to the friend who lent it to me, and he convinced me to go ahead and read the third one, because -- he says -- it's the best. I trust him, so I'll give this series one more chance.
