Reservations for Murder by Tim Myers
5.0
A clinching clue is not a dime a dozen in pulp literature. By that I mean a clue that is not hidden but is camouflaged somewhere in the book. This type of clue is not restricted to mysteries.
In the 1st Harry Potter book, the mystery of who Nicholas Flamel is and why Hermione cannot find a trace of him in the library are both very clever clinching clues. In this book the clue is a bit pedestrian, but it's there! And I could not guess the murderer's identity, so I should probably shut up.
I like cozies like this. This book proves that a book does not need to be your typical race against time, gory thriller to be a page-turner. I don't think the next book will be as good as this one, but I'll take what I can get.
