Wow, what a fantastic start to a historical mystery-thriller series! Set in 1930s San Francisco, Fog City is a fast-paced read with a setting you can see, hear, and smell through the viewpoint of our plucky MC, Maggie Laurent. This book picks up steam quickly, and as the bodies begin to pile up, it becomes harder to set it down. Fog City has a colorful cast of characters (suspects?) and a strong-voiced narrator, and I really, really enjoyed it. While I anticipated some of the twists, others caught me completely (pleasantly! I love a good mystery surprise) off-guard. The ending makes it clear that this is only the first we'll see of Ms. Laurent, but hopefully there is more to come. If historical fiction or mystery/thrillers are your speed, this book hits all the right notes.
