In this sequel to Augusta Hawke, Augusta is further developed and comes into her own as an investigator, though it could have used more scenes with her friend Misaki Jones and with Detective Steve Narduzzi. For Malliet fans.
This contemporary cozy English-house mystery will appeal to fans of Agatha Christie. Recommended. ["This series shines for its wit, well-drawn characters, pitch-perfect dialog, and intricately structured puzzle. Don't expect to be rushed—it's a leisurely paced read begging for the reader to catch every last detail," declared the review of the Minotaur: St. Martin's hc, LJ 10/1/12.—Ed.]

This series shines for its wit, well-drawn characters, pitch-perfect dialog, and intricately structured puzzle. Don’t expect to be rushed
Malliet's hero shows his dogged determination to bring justice to his people. You'll marvel at the author's low-key humor and crystal-clear depictions of small-town life. Yes, this is a true homage to Agatha Christie, but Malliet, like Louise Penny, brings a contemporary freshness to the traditional mystery. [Minotaur First Edition Selection; library marketing.]
