The Proof Is in the Poison
by Diane Kelly
funny
informative
mysterious
medium-paced
This was such a fun cozy! Most of this one takes place at a model train convention, which normally would not interest me, but Diane Kelly does a fantastic job of making the setting fun and including new characters connected with the convention. I loved the way our protagonist, Hattie, helped to solve the murder without being dense or irritating. I really enjoyed watching the development of her relationships with Marlon and Ace. Kelly does a great job of incorporating the history of moonshine into the story without being overbearing or making it feel like a history lesson. My one con is that I did get bored with Hattie's repetitive thoughts of the suspects and their motives. The ending was a wild ride (literally), and I am excited for book 3!
