Book: To Helen Back by Susan McBride

To Helen Back by Susan McBride

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


While I liked this one, I didn't love it. I have whole series and will probably read it anyway because many do improve after book one. The mystery was okay but the character of Helen was simply not fleshed out very much. She was a nosy old lady. Period. She is compared with Miss Marple by the sheriff and she seems to like that comparison.

The plot: a nasty man in their town is murdered by a whack on the head. Everyone hated him pretty equally so who did it? Helen does figure it out and the sheriff does seem grateful for her help.

It was a quick read so that's a plus. I like quick mysteries sometimes.
