Strange Winds whisks you up from your mundane life and deposits you onto the coast of Ireland where a woman accidentally witnesses a murder while trying to solve her own family mystery. Was she sent to Ireland for a reason? Is that reason connected to the murder? And how many of Ireland's ghost stories should she believe?
This book was fun to read and the story, albeit predictable, is very good at tossing out red herrings. Even though I assumed the correct person was involved, I had my doubts throughout the story until the end when I confidently exclaimed, "I knew it!"
The characters are loveable, especially Curt. He's a 7-year-old "Young Sheldon" type of character and I absolutely loved his involvement in the mystery! Savannah (main character) is easy to root for, though I can't say that she differs from the cliché "Nancy Drew" style of sleuthing. Lots of accidental discoveries and angering people with her nosiness and assumptions; but clichés like this are why we read and love mysteries, are they not?
Overall, I enjoyed my time in Ireland via reading Strange Winds and might be enticed to continue the series in the future.
