Review - 'So Pretty a Problem' by Francis Duncan


So Pretty a Problem is the third book I've read in the Mordecai Tremaine series, and my favorite so far. Whereas you'd normally see a small set of possible suspects in a book of this genre, this time there were hardly any suspects at all. The wife admits to accidentally shooting her husband, and no one else has been seen going to their house. So case closed, right?

What follows this intriguing premise is the typical unfolding of a quintessential cozy mystery, slow and steady, with lots of clues wrapped up in seemingly everyday interactions. Suspicions are aplenty, and lots of secrets are slowly uncovered, all leading to the culmination of the big reveal, which does not disappoint.

I've really grown to enjoy this series, and I look forward to reading more about this lovable and sentimental amateur detective.
