I liked it, just not enough to write a proper review: Construct a three or four step murder mystery. Add a dash of red herrings and a congregation of suspects. Mix them up with a character driven slow burn—emphasis on the slow—romance and voilà. You've just mastered the recipe for a delicious book...

Have you ever noticed how it's actually harder to review a series that you love? Especially if, like me, you wait until you've read 7 books in the series to review the first. It's almost impossible to be objective about any individual book, barring one of them just being a massive disappointment. ...

It was lovely to listen to a more-than-cozy/not-actually-graphic murder mystery! I haven't had one of those for awhile; I found this comforting.Straight up, I will say that I was disappointed in Claire. She's an Episcopalian priest and, apparently, also a moron. Some of her rash, impulsive, poorly-i...

This is yet another instance where I wish GR had half-star ratings. Not quite as good as All Mortal Flesh, but still better than the two immediately-previous books.

Head and shoulders above the previous book. Just a few notes about what I love about this series: 1) Clare and Russ are "older", i.e., not teens, 20-somethings, or even 30-somethings (I forget exactly how old Clare is, but Russ is 50, and if I remember right Clare's around 10 yrs. younger), and it'...
