The Big Sugar: A Brigid Reardon Mystery by Mary Logue
2.0
I received this eARC from NetGalley and the publisher in return for an honest review.
The concept--a mystery series centered around a young Irish immigrant woman in late 19th century Cheyenne-- sounds like a promising one. And although the historical details seem to be accurate and are interesting, the mystery is underwhelming and lacks suspense. The pacing is way off, with no development around the mystery (based on a real event), and stilted, formal writing.
This book was disappointing.
