The Clandestine Coroner has an interesting, complex murder mystery to solve but Fenway has all the cards stacked against her. Can she figure everything out and get her man this time? Fenway is a wonderful character; however the supporting cast felt a little wooden and superficial. Well written with great dialogue and a smooth flow.

Very easy to get into the characters and the story. Has interesting twists. Before I knew it I was done reading. Very enjoyable.

Another mystery winner from Paul Ardoin! Every book just seems to get better than the last. You can never go wrong when buying one of his books.

Intrigue
The story is full of intrigue and twists, although it is quite simple to follow and untangle.
The characters under investigation are quite wooden and shallow and greedy
