The Granite Moth by Erica Wright

cjmichel's review against another edition

3.0

I received this audio CD through a Goodread's Giveaway. This story was very well written and I was really enjoying listening to the audio version until I hit a big snafu in my opinion. I was rooting for the main character/private investigator hoping she can sift through the various suspects and possibilities of the events that transpired. Suddenly, I thought my audio player must have skipped some tracks because one of the investigations was solved. There were a few times something happened during the audio that made me feel as if I missed something in the story which is unusual because I have never felt that way before, and I have listened to many audio versions of books. It left me with the feeling that the main characters investigation solutions were just handed to her rather than based on her own effort. That was a major disappointment and caused me to lower my final rating of this novel.

Kathleen Stone is a P.I. with many disguises. When she gets it right, even acquaintances don't recognize her. She is hiding from a mob boss who may be after her but in the meantime, she takes on the case of an attack on a Halloween float that killed two people and injured one of her closest friends. A good mystery with a complex and intriguing detective.
