The Fear Hunter by Eilse Sax was a quirky and mysterious, small town cozy. I was intrigued by Agatha and her Aunts. I wanted to know more about their history, but felt like I didn’t quite get enough. Though I’m sure more is explored in the following books. On that note about history, I found things that Agatha said or did to be so strange for someone who claims to be as old as she is. Those details bugged me, and I didn’t find them endearing like some of my book club members. The humor in this book was peculiar and didn’t really resonate with me. However, several of my book club friends found the story to be hilarious.

I liked Remington, but was disappointed in what happens with him at the end of this book. I really loved the creativity in all the murders and was definitely surprised by the killer. I liked all the different soups each day, was totally inspired to get cooking. Overall, I liked The Fear Hunter, but was just expecting more backstory and magic.
