I love a good mystery. I especially like the theme mysteries for a nice light read. Theme mysteries are a hot ticket item for people who want a good light hearted read with a bit of a kick.
This is my first book by Livia J. Washburn and it was ok, not fantastic, not bad. Just mediocre.
The plot line had some real potential that was squandered by an ending and motive for murder that made very little if any sense. The culprit was identifiable from the beginning and some of the characters were very cookie cutter / stereotypical. The plot was convoluted and at times, even our crime-solving heroine seemed lost. The author just tried too hard to fit to many plot strings into too short of a space.
The best part of this book is the description of the gulf coast town it is placed in. It comes off with such an authentic manner that you can almost smell the sea air.
