Killer in the Carriage House: A Victorian Village Mystery by Sheila Connolly

3.0

I really enjoyed the first book in this series and was looking forward to this one. There were a few things about it that bothered me though. First, the mystery was not as intriguing. I spent more of the book wondering how Kate was going to convince the town that renovating it into a Victorian village was a great plan and less about solving the murder. Second, some parts of the book felt repetitive and dragged a bit for me. I was interested in some of the history they were discussing but it felt like a lot of that was held at arm's length too. I was a bit confused by her relationship with her love interest Joshua too. Finally, the title doesn't make sense with the book's content. I like the characters overall and the setting, but hoping the next in the series works a bit better or I may abandon this one.
