dknippling 's review for:

The Killings at Badger's Drift by Caroline Graham
4.0

It starts out with a friendly competition over orchids between friends. It ends in...death!

A fun read, although I did figure it out pretty early due to writer cues (rather than logical puzzle-solving). Good characters; the plot went a lot darker than I expected without being hateful about its setting, which was nice. Clear writing but for a few transitions between characters near the end, but that may have been a formatting/line break issue in my edition. P.D. James lite? A good read.
