Snipe Hunt (Professor Simon Shaw, #2)Snipe Hunt by Sarah R. Shaber

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is my first cozy mystery by Author Sarah R Shaber. I have since discovered that she has a slew of different series set in the same southeastern USA coastal area, Pearlie Beach, North Carolina.

I said this is my first Shaber mystery but it won’t be my last. I thoroughly enjoyed her offbeat hero Simon Shaw, archeologist, and heroine and hint of romance. I enjoyed all the colorful characters and natural beauty of the oceanside setting. I also like the interplay of history with the present.

I appreciated the fact that I liked her characters. So many times, I don’t care about the people in the mystery and don’t really care what happens to them. (Those mysteries I don’t finish.) I cared about her characters and I only disliked the murderer. Whom I did NOT guess until the final scene! Agatha Christie would call Sarah R Shaber a kindred soul!

  1. In the small town of Fulton, North Carolina, everyone knows everyone else’s business. This is certainly true in Jill McCorkle’s Carolina Moon, where the characters’ lives are intricately intertwined. A sampling of the off the wall characters that are present in this novel include the owner of the town “smoke-out clinic”, a newly divorced therapist, a young mother and her husband (who appears to be missing), and a handyman. An unsolved murder mystery and a series of letters written to a dead lover will fascinate readers until the surprising end. Jill McCorkle masterfully reveals the inner workings of each character and includes enough joy, sorrow, intrigue, and mystery to satisfy any reader.
