I have read the first two books and enjoyed them, but they are both heavier on the violence than a lot of things I read. I have the third book in the series on my TBR.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4167054806459662988.post-5268199402583746542020-09-03T18:59:00.299-07:002020-09-03T18:59:00.299-07:00I didn't actually *read* your review because I...I didn't actually *read* your review because I want to be surprised but a friend in CA who has just started reading Louise Penny just begged me to start this series, so I was checking to see if you had read it!

The setting (I'm from neighboring Wisconsin) and the story's presentation of Native American characters are very intriguing, and I have been looking for more "contemporary" mystery fiction to mix in with the Golden Age titles.
