Over Christmas and three weeks in South Dakota, I finished M. I didn't take N because I thought it would be good to take a break, and it was. I read Conference talks, catalogs, and of course my scriptures. Still, it was a long break and I was excited to get back into a good mystery!
I enjoyed this one. The setting reminded me of a Lake Tahoe area, only a small town with small town people. The small town characters turned against Kinsey during her investigation, and that was scary. I also related to her discomfort to staying with Selma, the police detective's widow who hired her. Her anxieties over the temperature, the food, just being a guest were all relatable, especially coming off three weeks of being a guest at Melissa's. Gratefully, my experience was good; Kinsey's was bad!
I enjoyed the learning about the high moral character of the police detective who had recently died, and it was refreshing to know there are people like that in the world. Of course I know that, but it's good to read about them as well. The snowy and cold setting were hard to live through again, having just returned from a harrowing icy road trip, so I had to take a break near the end to catch my breath!
Still and all, an enjoyable read and a good one to unravel!
