1 post | 1 read
In this magical mix-up of fairy tales and murder, Little Red Riding Hood solves the mystery at the heart of Rapunzel . . . How do we stand up for the ones we love? Alchemist and shopkeeper Red is looking forward to her towns Halloween festival, but the incessant rain is putting a damper on her spirits. Not to mention the fact that her long-term partner, Luca, has been acting strangely of late. And in case that wasnt enough, police officer Thorn shows up with a very mysterious note about a kidnapped child . . . Red does her best to help Officer Thorn analyze the anonymous note, but no children have been kidnapped from Belvillefor nearly two hundred years. Just as the town is ready to dismiss the note as a prank, a stranger runs down from the mountain, injured and crying murder. Where did the stranger come from? Who has been killed? And was that anonymous note perhaps a century or two too late? With Halloween spooks and heavy thunderstorms looming on the horizon, Red and her friends race to help unravel the mystery. But for a cold case, this one is hitting very close to home. Red will need all her alchemical know-how and more to solve this knotty problem!

TY to the author for the LibraryThing Early Reviewer copy. This did not work for me. I should have loved this book. It has a missing persons cold case, a dead body that appears to age at an alarming rate, pixies, dragons, magic, and a talking dog! None of it was engaging. The writing was flat & I was bored to tears. There‘s a disconnect between what we‘re told and the actions of characters. ⬇️

DGRachel We‘re told William is a dog. He does nothing dog-like. We‘re told Luca is Red‘s boyfriend shocked, but for the first 60% of the book, they act like nothing more than casual acquaintances. The book was just so dull. 3w
