Notes, 18 Feb:
Yes, I know, ME reading two mysteries in a row. I don't read mysteries much. But they were ON SALE! And I wanted a mini-break from the oh so lovely Sontag, whose work demands total attention.

Notes, 19 Feb:
A nice easy read. I like the characters, the interaction and the town & church politics.

I do have a but. Please note as I said above, I don't read mysteries often, so I am a terrible judge if the mystery part is done well. However, in both books I had figured out the 'killer' early on. There are also these long run ups to a beat-up / finding body when it is evident that is what is happening - yet it takes pages of long description to get to the drama. There is no suspense, thus these parts feel a wee bit tedious.

Yet, again, the other parts of the book are such a nice light read I'm very glad to have read both.
