Nearly Dead in Iowa by Wendy Byrne

lighthearted fast-paced

1.75

This was ok. There was somethings to like about it, but overall, it made me feel that this was a writing assignment for a workshop that got explored. It felt that it needed an editor to reel in the character and focus.

The story follows Isabella as she recently divorced a real estate mogul in New York and was on her way to find her father who she has never met. Murder ensues and this part time artist tries to solve the case.

I did enjoy some of the secondary characters but not much else. The story felt "and then this and then this and then this..." and it didn't give me what I wanted from the plot.

It's not the worst thing I've read and I could see where this could be improved, but overall, I won't be doing this again.
