The Alpine Advocate: An Emma Lord Mystery by Mary Daheim

2.0

It was difficult for me to follow the cadence of her writing - it just didn't flow. The plot wasn't predictable or silly and I really had no idea who the muderer was or even what the motive, but still, this book just left a bitter taste in my mouth. Maybe it was just that the characters lacked warmth. It kept me reading until the end, but even two days later I am struggling to remember the details of the plot. Reading this kind of mystery after Dorothy Sayers is like settling for cheese in a can when you live on a dairy farm.
