To Catch a Storm by Mindy Mejia

4.0

Mejia is one of my go-to mystery/thriller authors and TO CATCH A STORM might be my favorite of hers so far. The main characters aren't super unique, but they are interesting. I found them likable, sympathetic, and dynamic enough to be believable (although better character development would have improved the novel for sure). Eve, Jonah, Earl, and Max make an appealing team, each using different skills and talents to solve the mystery. I especially like the fact that Earl is a sharp, helpful contributor despite the impairments caused by his stroke. The plot of TO CATCH A STORM is exciting, with plenty of suspense, tension, and action to keep things moving right along. Most of the plot twists caught me by surprise. I probably should have seen the Big Reveal coming, but I didn't. While the book wraps up in a satisfying way, enough questions are left to whet the reader's appetite for the next installment in the series. I, for one, will absolutely be reading on. I'm interested to see how the characters' relationships develop and what will happen next in their ongoing stories, both individually and collectively.
