Book 2: Tess Monaghan

I like everything about this book except the reader, who, it seems, would not recognize a Baltimore accent if it bit her in the ass; the Baltimore accent does not include a southern drawl or a Texas twang, so why does every character in the book talk with a drawl or a twang? Really, really annoying.
Otherwise, I liked the story. I liked the multiple mysteries that had to be solved. I liked the twists and turns . I like that it was a cozy mystery with a slightly hard-boiled main character -- tough and down to earth but missing the Kinsey Milhone baggage. It was an easy, light read, good for those days when you don't want to have to think.
In a few years, I'll be able to read another one of this series, when I have forgotten all about the terrible narrator.
Three stars for the author and her book -- a good middle of the road read.
