Why Kill the Innocent by C.S. Harris

5.0

This series keeps getting better and better. The backdrop of an atypical winter lends a special chill to this case of a piano teacher’s death. Simple it seems but her death is far more than a body lying in the snow far from where she was killed. There’s a lot of emphasis on what women of the period had to put up with or sit on for fear of ruin and while some of it is horrifying some of it is horrifying because a form of it still is in practice. The mystery as is typical is tight, very dialogue and plot driven. Now I must wait for the next one.
