Fatal Brushstroke by Sybil Johnson

mysterious slow-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

I found this book to be okay. I figured out whodunit pretty quickly (which I never do), but I found the characters interesting.  I think it's pretty clear that it's an author's first book. I think the pacing needed work.  There was a lot of information that I think could have been used more clearly. Although the author seems to have a good grip on her characters and town, which is very good foundation for a series.
