Killing at the Carnival (2 out of 5 stars)
Killing at the Carnival (Cassie Pengear Mysteries #1)
L.A. Nisula.
I received a free reviewers edition of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to Red Adept publishing (Which auto-approved me!) and L.A. Nisula.
Killing at the Carnival is about an American woman name Cassie Pengear who likes to solve mysteries and poke her head into places where the authorities think she doesn't belong (Think Nancy Drew, but a steam punk version). Set in Steam punk Britain, Cassie is attending a carnival with her landlady and his nephew when they visit a cowboy show. But the gun trick isn't a trick, and the volunteer doesn't get back up. Now the police have arrested the wrong man, and Cassie must solve the case before it's too late.
This book is about 100 pages, and is a nice cozy mystery. I gave this book two out of five stars, however, because it was a little too whimsical to be a mystery to me. There wasn't enough suspense, and I found as if the police were just too dumb. I mean, there barely did any investigation. How convenient right? It's a nice story however, and someday I will eventually read the other books in the series. If you like cozy mysteries that don't have too much suspense, then this book is for you.
Thank you for reading another one of my reviews, and I will be back with more soon.
