A Certain Darkness

It's not a bad installment in the series... but there is so much explaining. Between every line of dialogue there is a sentence explaining the possible subtext. And there are so many paragraphs devoted to different characters in the political game, amongst three connecting investigations, that it is hard to keep track. I wish the actual mystery elements had been the focus, but I still enjoyed it. I am ready for Ardmore to be vanquished since it seems his storylines have dragged on.

A Certain Darkness is my first by this author. Thank goodness that cozy mysteries can be read standalone because this is book 6. Yep, I've done it again and found a book that isn't the first one in the series.
