A review by tlsouthard
Murder on Lenox Hill by Victoria Thompson
3.0
I continue to like this series. The mysteries are interesting, the setting is good. The reason I gave this one only 3 stars is because of a personal bias of mine, which will follow after I put up a giant
SPOILER ALERT/SPOILER ALERT/SPOILER ALERT
I am sick unto death of every single time an author puts a priest or minister into the story that it is a sure bet that they are skeevy and the perp. As soon as Rev. Upchurch was introduced into the book, I immediately thought, "Well, no sense reading the rest of this one, we know who the bad guy was. And I was right.
Now, granted, he didn't actually do the initial crime, but because of what he did and who he was, the crime happened.
Tired of that trope. Just tired of it. Too easy for an author.
I initially wondered if I would continue with the series, but I will give the next book a try and see.
