Midsummer Murder (Linda Haggerty Mysteries) Tekijä: Shelley Freydont
There were some lovely descriptions in here...I loved the account of the local fair, among other things. But this book didn't capture my attention the way I wanted it to. There was not enough about dance, for one thing. I hadn't read the preceding books in the series. Doing so might have helped my enjoyment a bit.
I enjoy this series; it has strong characters and usually, strong murder plotting. The MC has a legitimate reason to find herself involved in the mysteries if the reader buys into the premise of a small-town employing an event planner to create tourist attracting events year 'round.
There's something of a love triangle set up in this series, but it isn't actually an active one, which somehow makes it easier to put up with. The MC finds herself attracted to two men: Chaz, the editor of the small paper, and A.K., the head of the private security company that assists the sheriff's office during the festivals. There's no actual competition, no dating (so far), no seriously flirtatious moments. I'd really rather there not even be this setup, but it is easier to take than the typical two men posturing for the woman's attention setup.
The mystery in this one was pretty easy; I spotted the killer fairly early on and the motivation was somewhat obvious. Still, it kept my attention and it was a fun read themed for Halloween.… (lisätietoja)

Shelley Freydont does an excellent job at bringing the characters of Celebration Bay to life. The characters and setting are entertaining and believable. This murder mystery was an enjoyable read.
When you figure out the big reveal as soon as the murderous character(s) is/are introduced, the book loses its intrigue rapidly.
