Rating: 5 out of 5

Now this is a fun book which has a sensible heroine who doesn't go into the dark room without turning on the lights! She calls the police when she should and doesn't mess around trying to find the bad guy and get herself into fixes deliberately. A smart woman. The mystery is believable and the characters well fleshed out. The author does a really good job on all of it.The child and the situation are sadly too common and the inability of people to intervene is frustrating in real life and in the book. Ana's handling of the events is realistic and her efforts are commendable. The ugly problem of child abuse and partner abuse is handled well in this title.The book is well written and well edited. A fine cozy read with an intelligent heroine and characters that are fun and developed. I have read all the Dead Mule Swamp books so far, and unlike many other "series," I am sure I am going to be able to go with this one all the way to 22. LOL Hoping, that is, that she writes 22 of them!
