Who Buries the Dead by C.S. Harris

3.0

I'm a big fan of this series, but this tenth volume is my least favorite so far. The solution to the mystery felt unearned and came a little out of left field, and the presence of Jane Austen - a fun addition early on - was barely relevant. C.S. Harris is usually excellent at tying real historical events and figures into her mysteries, but Who Buries the Dead attempts to use too many events/figures and the Jane Austen angle is left weak and unfinished.
SpoilerI wanted her novels to hold some actual clues, or for her to help solve the mystery, or to matter...but they end up just being vague red herrings.


This won't stop me from reading #11 the moment it hits stores next spring, though.
