My Review
This cozy mystery is really engaging and funny, full of suspense, twists, humor and even romanticism.
Death has lost his brother in a terrible fire. He comes back to St. Louis with his girlfriend Wren to solve some problems related to inheritance. But soon he discovers that there are strange inconsistencies about his brother's death and, together with Wren, begins to investigate.
I love everything about this story but the main characters in a particular way. Wren and Death are really great together. She is an assistant auctioneer with a keen intuition to solve mysteries. He is a private detective and a former veteran who was severely injured in Afghanistan. Another very interesting aspect of Loretta Ross books are the setting. In this story we know the history of the old brewery, a truly fascinating place.
The style of this author is truly captivating and engaging, from the first words captures your attention and leaves you glued to the pages until the end.
This is the second in the series but I do not believe it is essential to have read the first to enjoy this one but I recommend you to read it, it's really exciting as this one.
If you love the cozy mystery and the fire department is a book not to be missed.
