I found this to be a very enjoyable read - I loved the story line delving into the WWII issues with Japanese-Americans. I didn't see where the plot was going until the end and was quite surprised by the murderer. Outstanding character development as well. Looking forward to the next one, Kansas Troubles. This is the second in the Benni Harper mystery series. Benni's taking time from her job at the folk-art museum to sponsor a "senior prom" at San Celina's retirement home. During the dance, she's surprised to find herself waltzing with Clay O'Hara, the Colorado cowboy she had a crush on when she was seventeen. She's even more surprised when Clay's uncle and an elderly woman are found dead in one of the residents' rooms. Now Benni's trying to find a link between the two victims and the common thread that bound them together in death, without getting completely under the skin of acting police chief Gabe Ortiz. This series is starting to grow on me, but there are still some things about it that give me an itch I can't seem to scratch by reading the story. Benni's emotions are so erratic through most of this book that I was shocked at how it ended, with an elopement for a marriage that simply cannot last, at least with characters written as these two have been. With any series, the characters are what bring me back, episode after episode, so even if the mystery is weak, it usually doesn't matter. This particular plot took an unexpected and, IMO needless, twist at the end. It's not my favorite writing technique for an author to suddenly inject a whole new character trait in one of the suspects right at the end and that's what Fowler did with this story. Still, I'll probably read at least one or two more in the series, if only to see how long this marriage lasts. 3 sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
