Emma Chizzit and the Sacramento Stalker di Mary B. Hall
salvage owner involved in attacks on women's centers
A fast read with interesting characters that wraps up a bit too conveniently. Emma is removing salvageable materials from an old house when she makes a gruesome discovery. Emma soon finds herself trying to fend off an over-friendly policeman while being chased and shot at. Emma and her friends are well-drawn characters, the story is well-paced and very readable, but the resolution felt a little too neat and convenient.
I enjoyed this deftly plotted and fast-paced mystery. The secondary characters are perfect in their small roles, particularly her friend and landlady Frannie and the smitten Vince. In fact, every time Vince appeared, I had the urge to duck out the nearest door in an attempt to escape the poor man.
Emma Chizzit is a fascinating character. She's older, smarter, knows how to work hard and not do anything unduly foolish. Except for her small group of friends, she keeps herself to herself and doesn't say much at all about her past. This makes her a bit mysterious, and what little I did learn about her made me want to know more-- which is why the other two books in this series are on their way to me now.
If you're in the mood for a quick mystery fix with a strong central character, give Mary Bowen Hall's Emma Chizzit novels a try.… (altro)

I really enjoy Emma, a strong caring woman. I would love to know a woman like this!
