Quiet Anchorage

Quiet Anchorage - Ed Lynskey My 2 cents:

What a great cozy mystery this was to read. This is the first book I have read by the author and what a read it was. I throughly enjoyed reading about Alma and Isabel the amateur sleuths of Quiet Anchorage. They end up trying to help their niece Megan get our of jail. If they can, with Megan's prints on the murder weapon she might not stand a chance up against Sheriff Fox. He is bound and determined to make this case stick right before election time.

Alma and Isabel really make this book rock. I enjoyed the banter between the two that made this cozy read hilarious through out the book. The things these two women won't stop at to free Megan is out of this world. I could picture my great aunt or grandma for that matter trying to pull some of the same stunts what a hoot that would be. Ed does a wonderful job creating these characters. He did have me guessing up till the end who committed the crime.

What makes this a good read there are plenty villains in this book to keep the twists and your mind going trying to figure out who killed Jake and why. The book held my attention and made me think about who I thought it would be and that makes a great mystery.
