This is my third book in the series over cold wet winter. They are delightful! With each book the cast of characters is more fully developed and new crimes bring their complications. Brody describes places with a keen eye and one feels the landscape is an important character in her books.
Kate (our detective) is complex. Intelligent, driven, loyal and determined to help others because no one seems to be able to help her find her missing husband.
Can’t wait for #4.

A delight!
