Title: A Kinder, Gentler Mystery
Review: I loved this book! I read the criticism from other readers and I understand what they mean about the book being rather simplistic, maybe not the most suspensful ever written. I am a big fan of all kinds of mysteries from English cozies to the most hard-core serial killer books. No, this book may not be for everyone but sometimes you need a break from the "heavy" stuff and this was sort of innocent and magical. Yes, she wrapped up story lines extremely quickly but here again, sometimes it's nice to not have to read 500 pages for some type of resolution. As far as the characters all being too nice or good to be true maybe they are but wouldn't it be great if more people were that way? I for one am willing to suspend my disbelief. I sure hope she writes more Madame Karitska novels.
Is the review positive or negative?
