Classified as Murder by Miranda JamesMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
So I finished the first book in the series and proceeded to pick up and read, finishing the second book the same night! Yes, that is to say that I loved it!
In this second book in the series, we git to delve more into Charlie, and with the arrival on scene of his son, we find out more about how Charlie's wife's death effected him, his son, and their relationship.
The funny thing is that I found myself liking all the characters in the book this time. I like Charlie, he seems like a gentle man and a good father. Love the housekeeper, Azaela, she is a riot. I even found myself enjoying the Delacourte family.
This time, when something strange happens, a murder before lunch, the Chief Deputy comes straight to Charlie to ask for "unofficial" help in solving the case, and once again, it turns out that there are two seperate crimes going on at the same time, which confuses the case, but leads to the murder and to stolen rare books, just up Charlie's alley.
This book kept me so interested that I picked it up and finished it the same night! It was great, and I found myself actually wanting to visit Athena, to live on the quiet streets and be a part of the life I was reading about, murders aside.
