Death Waits in the Dark by Julia Buckley
4.0
Death Waits in the Dark by Julia Buckley is a 2019 Berkley publication.
I always love dropping in on Lena and Camilla in the scenic Blue Lake!!
In this fourth installment in the series, Lena needs to find out why Jane Wyland made a visit to Camilla, making ominous threats about exposing Camilla’s deceased husband’s secrets. It becomes especially urgent when shortly after issuing what basically amounted to an ultimatum, Jane is found dead, making Camilla a possible suspect…
This is such a terrific mystery series! I enjoyed getting to know more about Camilla in this episode. She's always remained a bit mysterious up to this point. But I think what really appealed to me about this installment was that it was a cold case, an old mystery that needed to be solved- which is one of my favorite crime tropes.
While this series definitely fits into the cozy genre, it doesn’t use the typical format and should appeal to anyone who enjoys pure mysteries or crime fiction. This installment was especially perplexing, keeping me on my toes from start to finish, and had a heart racing finale!
Naturally, the recurring characters are always the biggest draw in a cozy series, and the ending of this chapter in the series was also rewarding.
While I have enjoyed all the books in the series, this installment was one of the strongest installments to date. I’m looking forward to touching base with these terrific characters again soon!!
4.5 stars
