As does Maddie Vaughn-Alwin’s cousin aspiring actress Gwen Astor. But murder also arrives. A cozy mystery which took a long time to develop into a mystery. Unfortunately there didn't seem to be much investigating until Madddie decides who the guilty party is, and I didn't particularly take to the main character either. Although the second in the series it can easily be read as a standalone book. A NetGalley Book Sleepy Santa Fe in 1922 is invaded by a movie crew wanting authenticity for their new cowboy film. Painter Maddie Vaughn-Alwin is caught up in the mystique of the glamor of the film culture. Her cousin, Gwen, arrives with the rest of the actors and tells Maddie that the despicable director has used her and tossed her away. Things go from bad to worse when Maddie finds the director of the film hanging in his office. It quickly looks like this was no suicide and there is a plethora of suspects, including Gwen. Maddie decides she must prove Gwen’s innocence, and the game is afoot. This is the second book in Allen’s Santa Fe series, but can be read as a stand-alone. The book is well written, the author uses her research to set the scene without trying to overwhelm the reader with her knowledge, and the characters, while not all charming, are all interesting. The most interesting among them is Maddie herself. The story moves along at a slow pace befitting the time frame and the location. Once the scene is set, it does pick up the pace, but remains dignified. If you’re looking for a historical cozy, then this is the book for you. If this is the first book in this series you want to read, by the time you get to the end, you’ll want to find the first book. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
