A review by krystlekouture
Für eine Handvoll Mäuse: Ein Fall für Mrs. Murphy by Sneaky Pie Brown, Rita Mae Brown
3.0
Disclosure: Review is based on a free sample.
Enjoyability: 4
I really liked reading about small town life and hearing the animals chitchat. The pace was leisurely.
Re-Readability: 2
Character Development: 3
The human characters did not seem to have much depth. The animals on the other hand where much more developed! I've never read any other Rita Mae Brown books and I found it really hard to keep track of who was who. When the murderer was revealed I said:Wait who was he/she again?
Complexity: 3
The opening/murders are really unique.
Writing Style: 3
The writing style is easy to read and understand. However, I got bogged down at certain points. The murder is not mentioned for chapters at a time, and the author goes on some tangents on unrelated political issues.
Believability: 3
Since when do small towns have their own CSI department?!
Overall, this book really captured the essence of fall/halloween. If you don't mind a slower based cozy I'd recommend this one.
