Four-Alarm Homicide by Diane Kelly
3.0
mysterious medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot

Thank you St. Martin's Press and NetGalley for the eARC of Four-Alarm Homicide. All opinions in this review are my own.

Unfortunately, I had a hard time staying interested in this one and probably should have just DNFed it.  The mystery didn’t start until 40% in, which is a problem I found in another one of the author's books too.  Because the mystery takes so far into the book to be introduced, the reveal and ending are too rushed.  I think I learned more about home renovation than actually solving a mystery.
