The Hot Pink Farmhouse by David Handler

3.0

Enjoyable mystery with two likable lead characters, one a film critic and the other a Connecticut state trooper, a nicely done small town setting, and an interesting mystery that blended land development issues and family secrets.

My goodness, this has to be one of the messiest resolutions I have ever read, but this is such a great story! I had my theories throughout on the murder but all the nuance? Never saw that coming! And I love Des and Mitch so much. Their romance and especially how sweet Mitch is towards Des absolutely sells this series for me. So good and interesting and *messy*!!

Very sad. Desiree no longer lives in Woodbridge. Otherwise, a perfectly respectable popular mystery.

The Hot Pink Farmhouse is the second in the Berger and Mitry Mystery series, a new to me series, which I am really enjoying. The unlikely pairing of a sometimes schlubby film critic who is most at home sitting in a darkened theater and the West Point grad high achiever works really well. In this installment, a murder that may or may not be mistaken identity occurs and Mitry finds herself dealing with it while the whole community is in a political uproar over the change and the future. Meanwhile, Berger has met and made friends with a renowned artist, who is involved in Mitry’s case. Very good read in a good series.

I'm loving this series--it is light and fun with a very interesting crime solving duo and a seaside New England town setting. I love mysteries where you get to know a place and a community better. This second book in the series features a bewildering array of characters, too many to keep track of, but I enjoyed that.

I enjoyed this installment of the Berger and Mitry series and I'm looking forward to continuing. I like that Handler is slowly building a strong relationship that feels genuine between the two protagonists and I even enjoy the slightly over the top insular community where all of the actions take place. If you are looking for a cozy mystery series with a touch of romance (no full on sex scenes) that are quick and entertaining reads I would definitely say give this one a try!
