Murder by Death

This is one of those unfortunate reads where I really enjoy the writing, the setting and the characters (except grandpa, he's a cranky goat in a not-endearing kind of way) but the plot was more transparent than the glass the MC works with.  I guessed the importance of the first "clue" and the murderer from their second appearance.  Add to this the love triangle set-up and I deducted 1/2 a star.

Still, it is one of the better-written new series to come out by a big publisher in awhile and I enjoyed it enough to read the third book.
