While the story was well written. I didn't like the ending. I loved the main character, she was full of spunk. But the book disappointed me in the end.

Reasonable, easy to read book but the ending was below average.... still enjoyed it though. Its not normally my genre but gave it a go and was fairly impressed

I found this to be an easy reading mystery with good characters and plot. I look forward to reading more by this author. I received a copy from NetGalley and the publisher and this is my honest review.

Can a simple librarian finally solve 2 strange deaths?

I read the previous book, Local Poet, awhile back not realizing that there would be a second one featuring some secondary characters from the first book. I was quite pleased when I started reading Local Artist and discovered some familiar characters.

It's rare that I like a second, or later, book more than the first but I have to say that this was the case with Local Artist. The type of mystery, the location of the murder (a library), the heightened danger, a thrilling final showdown, and Paul Trembling's easy to read writing style made this book a quick, and fun, read. Also, as an American reader, I enjoyed a short escape into the authentic life of a country both so similar and different from my own.
