I enjoyed Murder on the Red River by the same author and really thought I would enjoy this one too. Or at least I had high hopes. Personally I found the writing to be very amateurish and superfluous in some areas, mainly extra or repetitive details that weren’t needed for the plot or character development. The writing just felt clumsy at times.
Quill, the main character, is motivated by her deep care for her community but she really irked me. Her decisions didn’t seem at all realistic, especially of someone who’s a mom. Her husband, Crow, was also a character that felt very one-dimensional and flat.
Punk I think bothered me the most. She was a very stereotypical “goth” and it didn’t seem like there was much depth to her.
I really really wanted to like this book but it just didn’t work for me. Will continue giving Marcie’s books a try because I have enjoyed some of her other stories.
