A review by amelia990
Shadows of Swanford Abbey by Julie Klassen

slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character

3.0

I usually like Julie Klassen but I had a hard time getting into this book.  It also stayed rather slow, despite being a murder mystery.  The story involves the hero and the heroine having a chance meeting at a hotel after several years apart (when they were younger, they had a friendly acquaintanceship).  A famous author that both characters have disputes with is murdered, and they end up investigating the crime.  This book is probably more an attempt to write mystery with romance on the side.
