Murder in the Corn Maze
by G.A. McKevett
The writing was good and flowed well. The story kept along at a good page and I enjoyed the actual reading.
The story was darker than most cozy mysteries I enjoy. Usually, aside from the actual death, they feel pretty cozy and warm. These characters are struggling in a very hard and realistic world. There are neglectful and absent parents, memories of abusive parents and spouses, sexual abuse and poverty.
I loved how the main character, Stella Reid, is a grandmother taking care of her grandkids. Seeing the events from more mature eyes was different than I usually read and so enjoyable. I'd love to see more grandmother characters!
Overall, while it's still a cozy, it's darker than I prefer and I won't be continuing the series.
Warnings:
References to sexual abuse, physical abuse, spouse abuse, woman abuse, murder, serial killers, and neglectful parents.
