Murder by Death

I read cozy and historical mysteries, a bit of Paranormal/UF, and to mix it up, I read science and gardening books on occasion.

Dead Man Walker (Consignment Shop Mystery, #3.5)

Dead Man Walker  - Duffy Brown

A full star off for lousy editing - misspelled words, missing words, holes in the story from scene to scene.

 

Otherwise, a good story; I really like what the author did here: she used this short story as a more detailed lead-in to the book being published next month.  It's a cliff-hanger in the sense that the murder mystery is just beginning, but the suspects have all been named and the scene set for Boone becoming a fugitive.

 

This short is told from Boone's POV, and I have to say, he's not nearly as cool and sexy here as he is in the regular books, told from Reagan's POV, but interesting just the same.  A lot of what irritated me in the last book is missing here so I have high hopes that the book out next month will be an improvement over the last one.

 

But I hope she's got a different editor for it.
