irisfang 's review for:

Cold Clay by Juneau Black
3.5
mysterious medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Loveable characters: Yes

The mystery in this one is VERY straightforward.
Kinda comes with the territory of just introducing one new character.
The challenge is just in putting the pieces together and figuring out the HOW/WHY, not the who. And I had at least one moment where I wanted to yell at Vera through the book about not putting two and two together.

Still, I found the book overall charming and enjoyable. I appreciated the Agatha Christie reference. I also thought this one had a better ending than book 1 - more realistic, and I felt like Vera had actually grown
and learned to be smarter and take less risks.
