Shakespeare's Landlord by Charlaine Harris

challenging dark emotional mysterious tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.5

Solid 3.5-stars but didn't like it enough to round up to a 4-star. The beginning of this was much darker than I had anticipated for something toted as a cozy mystery. Finally by the end of it I was enjoying myself but given that I my interpretation of the cozy mysteries is essentially Jessica Fletcher in Cabot Cove, Maine, this was a bit of a shock.

If you like those mysteries, give it a read, but be prepared that it's heavier than those simple fluffy ones.
