A Devilish Choice by Jennifer Bramseth
Devil Springs Cozy Mystery #5

Greer Galloway is still Clerk at the Court House in Devil Springs, happily dating boyfriend Brock and hoping to be engaged in the near future. She is happy to be where she is though wouldn’t mind one day being the judge in the courthouse she now is clerk in. The story would not exist without a murder so...murder there is. There are some overlaps that are not apparent at first but that is remedied before the end of the book. I truly enjoy returning to this series because it is a thinking reader’s cozy mystery with a bit to learn (by me) with each book that comes along.

What I liked:
* The “real-ness” of the book
* Greer’s unflinching ability to face...whatever happens
* The people that Greer works with
* Brock’s tenacity...whatever happens
* The vying for judge-ships and what it entails
* A look at “bad” lawyers and how they sometimes get their comeuppances
* The way the story is told and how it all works out in the end

What I did not like:
* What I was meant not to like – the baddies were truly bad though they may not have thought they were
* Taking a look at what some people do in the name of revenge, love, thwarted love, whatever...some people definitely don’t think like I do

Did I enjoy this book? Yes
Would I like to read more in this series/by this author? Without a doubt!

Thank you to the author for the ARC – This is my honest review.
