Borrowing Death

This was a very fun mystery to read. I like how difficult this mystery was to solve. There were a lot of twists and turns, and I liked it because it seems like the killer was always one step ahead of Charlotte. This made the story more fascinating because it kept me glued to the seat wondering who the killer is.

I really liked the Charlotte. She is a strong character. She is tough and stubborn. She does not give up. She is also smart, intelligent, and courageous. I like how observant and inquisitive she is and that she has a keen eye for details. Thus, Charlotte is a likable character, and readers will be rooting for her till the very end.

Overall, this book is filled with mystery and suspense. I liked how Charlotte's views of freedom for women. I also thought this book is well-written, and I liked how it is set in Alaska. I have not read any books in this series, yet I felt that I understood Charlotte's character. After reading this book, I want to read the first book in this series to explore Charlotte's character further and to see how Charlotte has progressed in the series. I look forward to reading the next book in this series. I recommend this book to anyone who love reading about amateur female sleuths, suffragettes, and fun, cozy mysteries set in Alaska.
