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.

Crowned and Moldering (Fixer Upper Mystery, #3)

Crowned and Moldering - Kate Carlisle

Not enough Thor.

 

Quite a good mystery, though.  For most of the book the plot concerns the discovery of a skeleton on the job site of the man who doesn't look like Thor and the re-opening of the cold case connected to it.  The crimes escalate in the second half of the book, claiming modern day victims as well, but generally, I think Carlisle tried to bring too many elements together here.  I certainly didn't guess the murderer, but I didn't find the motive compelling enough to believe it either.

 

I'm going to wait for a synopsis of the next book before committing to reading it - I'm holding out one last hope for more involvement with the Thor-lookalike police chief.
