Hometown Heroes

Summary: Nice try, but...
Review: Don't get me wrong, I like the idea of older people being depicted as sharp and vital. The trouble with this book is, despite the fact that I never try and solve the mystery myself, I pegged the killer the second the character was introduced. This did not add to my enjoyment of the story!

Surprisingly dull for a book so full of bloodshed and betrayal, I thought this was close, but no banana. I'll have to read another by McShea before I decide whether this was just bad luck or whether I simply don't enjoy McShea's writing.

Summary: worthwhile
Review: Don't let the cover fool you and that includes the old folks sitting around sipping tea. Mcshea's books are full of action. They combine cozy with hard boiled and in this case it is a good combination.
