Entertaining mystery

The author developed her characters and kept them true to themselves. I especially enjoyed the descriptions of the shop keepers and homeless characters. Also the interactions between characters felt truthful. The author also did a good job of depicting societal ills. Even the police were multifaceted rather than seriotypical.

Dead Storage

This is an entertaining cozy mystery with a thought provoking plot. Mary Feliz addresses the issues of PTSD, homelessness and immigration with sensitivity and realistically. Although, the subject matter is serious and complex, it is still a light cozy mystery. The story is relatively fast paced, but, does suffer from being verbose at times. I really enjoyed this book and look forward to the next one.

Too many questions.

I really enjoy this series but Maggie’s habit of firing off endless questions before anyone can answer is extremely annoying! Otherwise it’s a great story of friendship and life in a some what small town.
