A review by catreynolds28
The Librarian of Crooked Lane by C.J. Archer

lighthearted mysterious slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.0

I feel like this series could turn into something really cool but I don’t know if I have the patience to continue on to the end. I find most of the characters unlikable in some way - Sylvia is always apologizing for nothing and worrying about what people think of her; Willy is an annoying Annie Oakley who is also a grade A bitch; Gabe isn’t inspiring much love in my heart. The mystery was meh and I knew who did it early on. I’ll probably read the next but can’t say I recommend this book.
