so-soSet in the 1960s in a small VT town, this mystery introduces a fairly large cast & two main investigators. Franklin Warren has left the city to take a role with the state police & his neighbor, Alice Bellows, misses the excitement of her war work & gets involved in clearing the name of clerk accused of stealing. I liked the setting more than the characters & didn‘t find the ending to be very satisfying. I am curious where the series will go next.
My library bookstore of donated books offered this treat for my next poetry #poemaday project. Feels very 🍂 autumnal, too; don‘t ya think?
New to me author, thanks to @Billypar ! B&N didn‘t have the two you recommended, but the blurb for this one is intriguing. 😄
And it‘s an Indie Publisher 👏🏾👏🏾
so-soThis is a shorter book, & I borrowed it from my friend‘s LFL. I just didn‘t get into the storyline on this one, but others may love it. A widow is dealing with grief after her husband dies, then has 2 different events going on—being drawn into helping an undocumented Mexican couple and searching for a missing sister with her other sisters. I‘m still going to read another Alvarez book, i just didn‘t love this one. 3⭐️

pickAfter years and YEARS of reading 1-2 mystery books each week, I‘ve started to get good at solving the murders early and picking what will happen next. Although I do love when a plot twist takes me completely by surprise this new skill doesn‘t lessen the book at all.
