Final Chapter: A Megan Montaigne Mystery by Pam Stucky
5.0
I'm going to have to remember to put this one on the gift list for the cozy-mystery fans in my life. Pam has a superb feel for the genre! The (fictional) small town of Emerson Falls, Washington, and its quirky mansion-turned-library supply the "cozy" part beautifully, and the cast of residents and visitors are the right mix of charming and unsettling. All of them seem real, and many of them I wish I could hang out with, but all also hide enough of a potential dark side that I honestly couldn't guess who the murderer was until the reveal.
It was a fast read, and actually one of the things that impressed me in particular was how deftly Pam was able to introduce a fairly large cast in a slim book, and make it all easy to follow and believable. That takes writerly skill!
I see a lot of potential in Megan Montaigne as an amateur sleuth, and hope there will be more books about her!
