Review of A Shattering Crime
Review (4 Stars): I love this series because the characters are interesting and Georgia’s hobby is so unique. In this mystery, Georgia has a new boyfriend and is finally feeling as though Wenwood is the place that she can settle down in. Soon, she finds herself involved in another murder mystery when a local activist is murdered by a poisoned danish.
Georgia is one of those heroines that you will love spending time with because she is so smart and fun. This mystery was well-written and very entertaining from beginning to end. We finally get to meet Georgia’s mom which is a treat and I’m excited to see where Georgia goes from here in the next book of the series.
