I enjoyed reading Blind Malice, the first book in the Rachel Myers Murder Mystery series. We are introduced to Rachel at her father's funeral and within a few pages the plot starts to build nicely. As do the characters, particularly Rachel and her old family friend Isaac. We are treated to some delightful descriptions of the Appalachian Mountain locale that this story is set in and, by the end of the book, I felt that I had entered into the life of the character for a short period of time.
