Bar Harbor Babylon: Murder, Misfortune, and Scandal on Mount Desert Island by Leslie Landrigan, Dan Landrigan

3.0

---

I wanted to love this book because I love history and mystery but the authors didn't write in an engaging style and it seemed stilted and transitions were not smooth. Perhaps they were trying to take blog posts and just put them together one after another without connecting them. I read the kindle edition, so perhaps it was a formatting issue where transitions or breaks will be more clear in a printed version. I also found myself wanting a deeper story than what was included in many of the stories here.

It seems this book could be so much more with some effort and added details.
