A Distant Grave by Sarah Stewart Taylor
3.0
I really enjoyed The Mountains Wild book #1 in this series so I was excited to see the next book come out. While I did enjoy this one it was not as fast paced as the first.
I really like Maggie D'arcy's character who is trying to be the best officer and mother she can. Her daughter is still reeling from her father's sudden death, but Maggie is hoping that their Ireland vacation will help take her mind off things. I was glad to see that her and Conor are still going strong even with the distance between them, and that Roly is back! I loved him in the first book, and I still love him.
With that said I thought the case dragged. The mystery surrounding her missing cousin in the first book was suspenseful, but I didn't think this one was. There were also a few "whoa" moments in the first that I was waiting for in the second. Unfortunately those never came for me. With that said I would still recommend this one if you have read the first, and I will keep reading this series.
Book Rating: 3/5
Wine Pairing: Columbia Crest Cabernet Sauvignon
