Review: Characters well developed; story almost unique; engrossing

To tell the truth, I wasn't expecting much when I bought this book and, yes I bought this one out of order (now I'm reading #1, and just bought #2.) There's so much terrible writing from people just starting out, and when I read that Ms. Jones was in insurance or accounting before taking up writing, I really was taken aback by how well she writes and how the plot moves along with a few - not many actually - red herrings. It was a pleasant surprise that the main character is curator of a museum where you wouldn't expect to find a museum, and that she becomes involved in local mysteries. That is a novel approach ... at least for me.I can't say that I didn't expect the ending because I did, but she wraps everything up tidily and well.What better review than to say that I bought her other two books, and hope she comes out with another before my vacation this summer, a vacation that will take me along the Columbia River again.
