A Beautiful Blue Death by Charles Finch

3.0

This was more complex than most historical mysteries I've read lately... the only thing is, I finished it last week and already I'm trying to remember what to say about it. I was very happy when the detective *finally* got a new pair of boots. I remember the minor characters well, but I'll be darned if I can remember what the crime was or why it was important. So I guess I would rate this one strong on characters and weak on plot. It took me a while to get through it, but it clearly was not a memorable read for me. I have the second in the series and I will try it out, but I wish I were looking forward to it more.
