Fire Engine Dead by Sheila Connolly
5.0
I love big cozies and I cannot lie. Settings that are nifty to tour, characters to love or intensely dislike, cool premises, views into other worlds or lifestyles.
This is a museum among other museums in Philadelphia, each fighting for money to keep going in a time of cutbacks. Now there is someone setting fires to warehouses, one of which is storage for a firemen's museum. They reach out to Nell for help and she must assist.
It makes sense that Nell would get involved and investigate. She has a lot on her plate as the new president of the Pennsylvania Antiquarian Society. She has staff to hire, funds to acquire, and the FBI to agree to return the stolen documents they've recovered. She makes it work.
I like this series quite a lot. It could be a bit boring in someone else's hands, but Sheila Connolly has a deft hand with the museum setting. Or any setting really. I love Sheila Connolly's writing.
Definitely recommend.
