Grave Mistake: A Stacey & Gabriel Standalone in the Amethyst's Wand Shop Mysteries Series by Arizona Tape, Laura Greenwood, Laura Greenwood
4.0
I love all books and series by Laura Greenwood and Arizona Tape. They might not be the most exciting and thrilling books in the universe. They might not be the most complex and deep books in the universe. But they're this calm in the storm, this breath of fresh air, this moment of just leaning back and enjoying. I therefore happily grabbed a review copy from BookSprout when it was available.
What I really loved about this book is that we get to see another part of the forensic process while we're still getting the thrill of the mystery. Of course, we're missing out on the interrogations (mostly) and the eventual admission of guilt, but it's so cool to see how much information the doctors can get from a body! I loved that the authors took the time to really describe the process.
I also really loved how passionate these characters were about their job. As an outsider their job sounds quite morbid and they have the morbid sense of humor and way of looking at their job to go with it, but seeing people being enthusiast about what they're doing, having bucket lists for their job and enjoying talking about it is in a way contagious.
And then there's the romance. It's clear that those people have known each other for a very long time already. And everyone understands that the longer you've been friends the harder it is to admit that you would want more than friendship. The authors do a great job describing the emotions of the characters and showing us how they eventually do talk about it. And kiss about it.
And now I can't wait to read Spells and Bells!
