Behold a Fair Woman is the fifth and last book of the Mordecai Tremaine series. In this one, Mordecai is taking a much needed holiday away from crime when murder strikes, and he has no choice but to get involved and help out.
Like the others in this cozy mystery series, this book's plot unfolds slowly. In fact, the murder doesn't occur until about half way through book after we have met all the potential suspects. What follows is the slow and steady reveal of clues and of secrets, which everyone seems to have aplenty. It culminates in the big reveal which wraps everything up with comforting satisfaction.
This isn't the most exciting murder mystery series out there, but there's something charming and relaxing about it. Even though the books are about murder, they're a fun and light read, which perfectly suits my mood at the moment.
