I enjoyed reading Blind Malice, the first book in the Rachel Myers Murder Mystery series. We are introduced to Rachel at her father's funeral and within a few pages the plot starts to build nicely. As do the characters, particularly Rachel and her old family friend Isaac. We are treated to some delightful descriptions of the Appalachian Mountain locale that this story is set in and, by the end of the book, I felt that I had entered into the life of the character for a short period of time.The book is relatively short (1800 locations) and a very easy read. If I have any quibble about the book it is that perhaps the plot falls into place too nicely. There were no red herrings or detours to provide that extra element of mystery.I noticed a couple of formatting issues. The book jumped between two different font sizes in the early chapters, and in the latter chapters there were several incidences of incorrect indentation.But overall a very enjoyable murder mystery and I look forward to reading more of the series.
