Requiem for a Mezzo by Carola Dunn
3.0
3 stars
The weakest book in the series so far but still a fun read. The mystery isn’t very strong, I guessed it early on and never doubted myself. I will say I was wrong about the motive. The secondary characters were delightful. Like Christie, Carola Dunn is great at writing vivid secondary characters. Unfortunately she lacks Christie’s deftness with plot. Daisy continues to be delightful but Alec was a real ass. Also, I’m tired of him solving the mystery and not her. Hopefully that will change. Nevertheless I’m excited to see where the series will go.
