A review by nonna7
Edwin of the Iron Shoes by Marcia Muller

3.0

I started the Sharon McCone very late in the series - after her time with All Souls and as an independent investigator. So I thought I would go back to the beginning. Muller has never been on my top tier of authors, but I enjoy the series. Her later books investigate Sharon's past as well. This is her first book. Her skills are very evident here. It's an interesting book that explores the art world and describes Sharon as a young woman. The book was written in 1977. When one of the characters in the book refers to Sharon as "papoose" because of her Indian heritage, it makes you want to wince more than just a little. However, it IS true to it's time. As someone who lived in that era, it's interesting to see how much things have changed in so many ways. It's definitely worth reading if you like this series, but started in the middle as I did.
