Book Review: Miranda Warning

Miranda Warning, by Heather Day Gilbert, is the first book in the Murder in the Mountain series. In this book Tess Spencer always carries a Glock and a knife with her. This comes in handy as she investigates the murder of an old friend, Miranda.

She and her husband, Tomas live in the mountains in West Virginia, when she received a warning note telling her to stay away from a 40-year old widower, Paul. The adventure takes off from there

Gilbert does a good job of leading the reader through the past and the present. Her characters are well-thought out so that the reader feels like they have become friends during the mystery. This book was one of the easiest reads that I have read recently. Once I picked it up, I wanted to continue reading until I was done.
