Book Review: Mayhem in the Mountains by Kelly Oliver
Rating: 4 stars
First off, I love the covers on this series. They are so colorful and fun! Now onto my review.
Mayhem in the Mountains by Kelly Oliver is a delightfully entertaining and charming read. From start to finish, it captivates readers with its well-written prose and fast-paced plot. While it is a part of a series, it can easily be enjoyed as a standalone novel.
The story takes place in 1918 Italy, where Fiona Figg and Kitty Lane find themselves trapped in the Dolomite Mountains due to a deadly blizzard. As if being snowed-in wasn't enough, a murder occurs within the confines of their hotel. With no murder weapon and multiple suspects, Fiona and Kitty's investigation becomes increasingly challenging.
What makes this cozy mystery truly enjoyable is the wintery and cozy setting. The author paints a vivid picture of the snow-covered mountains, making readers feel like they are right there alongside the characters. Additionally, the incorporation of historical details adds depth to the story. I particularly appreciated the author's note at the end, which provided further context for the events in the book.
The characters in Mayhem in the Mountains are likable and well-developed. Fiona Figg, the protagonist, is a strong-willed and determined investigator who finds herself caught between her beloved Archie and her nemesis Fredricks. The quirky name “Fredrick Fredricks” adds an element of humor to the story, making it all the more enjoyable. Furthermore, the inclusion of Benito Mussolini as a character adds an interesting twist to the plot.
Overall, Mayhem in the Mountains is a fun and engaging read that will keep readers entertained from beginning to end. Kelly Oliver's writing style is both engaging and humorous, making it easy to get lost in the story. Whether you're a fan of cozy mysteries or simply looking for an entertaining read, this book is sure to satisfy. I'm personally looking forward to delving into more books in this series in the near future!
