Crime & Punctuation

An older sleuth was good. An editor with a love for the Oxford comma made for a good character. I figured the murderer out pretty early. The why had a couple more twists than I expected. The other side characters were fun. This was a good first mystery.

Let me start by saying I loved the main character! And I admire the way her work and the mystery intertwined. It was refreshing to read a cozy from an older perspective (the sleuth is retired), too. The story came together naturally, but – that is a good thing and also the one drawback, for me. The story felt a little slow to really start, and I'd hoped for more from Tiffany's book (that the historic crime would have more detail: not necessarily violence-wise, but character-wise).
