The Mystery of Hollow Places
by Rebecca Podos
I feel like I never review contemporaries so I’m not sure where to go with this one but we’ll just quickly talk about what I liked with this one. It was the first book I read after a month and a half reading slump so that should say something about how much I enjoyed it. It’s a fast paced and well thought out mystery with some very believable characters.
I really liked the characters in this one, there weren’t too many and the ones that we do get to meet are well rounded enough and their motives are well thought out. Imogene was a good main character, there’s definitely something annoying about her thought process but it’s also completely understandable and the way she progressed was totally reasonable. I also really liked Jessa and the dynamic that they shared, and her relationship with both her dad and stepmother was well done.
The main thing that I liked about this book was the mystery. It wasn’t a super intense one and nothing really shocked me, but it was well written and I liked the pacing of the entire story. It was the perfect length and I’ll definitely read more by this author. If you’re looking for an atmospheric mystery that’s perfect for the cooler months then I’d recommend this one.
