blueshadow 's review for:

A Morbid Taste for Bones by Ellis Peters
4.0

3.5 stars, rounded up because I enjoyed it so much

I thoroughly enjoyed this mystery. Nothing fancy here - just good writing and a solid mystery (including actual clues! Huzzah!). I think my favorite parts though were that the book had a storyline and several subplots in addition to the mystery, and many interesting and well-developed characters, so it could be enjoyed as a story separate of the mystery. Occasional wry wit or insightful observations of human behavior also kept up the interest. It was not very fast-paced or suspenseful, so it could easily be picked up and read (or listened, as I had both a paper copy and audiobook from the library) for awhile and then easily set aside until next time.

A book that fits my current reading habits, and the library has several more so I definitely will continue with the series.
