I love Kit Karson’s writing style!

Karson effortlessly took me to the small mining town of Anderson, Montana and introduced me to her great cast of characters. I instantly liked Sheriff Peter Elliott and had no difficulty keeping track of the town’s inhabitants.

The book opens with a brief history of the town before ramping up the action - a dispute between tourists and locals, a grisly murder scene in a bakery, a missing baker, foul play surrounding a sapphire dealer and the introduction of the Russian mob. I loved the ‘freshness’ of it - unique setting, wonderfully crafted characters and an intriguing mystery.

This was a binge read; a compelling whodunnit.

I started book two immediately.

I was gifted this copy by the publisher through NetGalley and was under no obligation to provide a review.
