To Helvetica and Back by Paige Shelton

3.0

I’m from Utah and a few generations of my family have lived in Park City (including me at one point in my childhood). So I loved reading a book set in Park/Star City. The setting was about the only thing I loved about this book and the only reason I might read the other two in the series. I can tell the author isn’t a Utah native though, NO ONE local there says “Salt Lake City” when referring to the capital, it’s always “Salt Lake.” 

Clare seemed really judgmental and complained a lot, especially about her friend Jodie. Also the narrator called her Judy sometimes, I had to rewind to make sure I heard correctly. 

Kind of confusing that Clare’s teenage niece and the older lady with the typewriter both had similar names that started with M, Mirabelle and Marion.

I thought the old woman was the one who the killer took hostage when she was driving her Jeep, but it ended up being the niece, Marion. Both names sound like they could be an old lady! Confusing. h
