kiramke 's review for:

The Beautiful Mystery by Louise Penny
2.75
challenging dark emotional tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes
Not my favorite, maybe just a mood mis-match. Key point of the notes I jotted down, "This is not the character study + satisfying puzzle I came here for.  Who convinced all mystery writers and all tv writers that we need a series bad guy arc in order to keep coming back?  I don't, I swear I don't need it."
