Murder by Death

This one started out slow for me, although reliable friends recommended it to me so I wan't too worried I wouldn't love it.

The story really kicked in for me once they hit Montana and I was hooked from there. I like Mercy - she's got enough humour about her to keep the whole thing from feeling too dark. Adam is exactly what Adam should be!  Zee is fun and Stephan is, again, what he should be. So a great cast of characters you can get involved with.

The plot itself was delightfully labyrinthian - not so complex you couldn't follow it, but complex enough to keep you guessing right up until the very end, when even the bad guys were somewhat sympathetic.

I'm not yet ready to add this series to my top 5 list, but I'll definitely be reading the next book as soon as possible.
