Murder at Fenway Park by Troy Soos
4.0
Mickey Rawlings is a journeyman baseball player who is picked up by the 1912 Boston Red Sox. On his first day at Fenway Park, he discovers a body and makes it his quest to find out who the victim was and why he was killed.
As a baseball book, this was fantastic! You could feel the reverence for the game and it was full of the characters who played ball in the early days: the gamblers, the crooks, the men who never grew up... As a mystery novel it left something to be desired. At points I felt like conversations were stuck in because the author suddenly remembered that he had to progress with the crime solving. However, the end wrapped up the whodunit nicely.
I will be checking out the next book in the series.
