sarahcoller 's review for:
The Ghost of Christmas Past
by Rhys Bowen
This was my first Rhys Bowen---I liked it ok. Compared to the Aunt Dimitys that I read all summer long, it was a masterpiece. The main character, Molly Murphy, is intelligent, mature, interesting, and a lady. She seems to enjoy her husband and young son and displays realistic and appropriate behaviour to the people around her. A complete opposite from the Aunt Dimity MC, Lori, who is quite unlikeable in just about every way...but that's another story.
This particular mystery was interesting and somewhat believable, although it was pretty obvious very early in who the daughter was and who committed the crimes. Reading this, for me, was more about finding out how these things played out---and not who was responsible. I was pretty annoyed by the unrealistic and contrived reactions from Winnie upon the "two revelations". Surely these could have been thought through and written much better than they were.
I'll give a few more of these a try over the next few months and see if I've found a new mystery series to enjoy.
