Review
FATALITY BY FIRELIGHT by Lynn Cahoon
The Second Cat Latimer Mystery
Cat Latimer is ready to put the unpleasantness of her last writing
retreat behind her as she gears up for her second. She gets another odd
group however, including a writer more interested in researching local
history than writing, an intense poet, and a romance writer falling for a
local bad boy. When the local bad boy turns up dead and Christina becomes a
suspect, Cat knows she needs to step in. Cat gets more than she
bargained for as she discovers her quiet Colorado town serves as the
educational hub of mob families and her late ex-husband may not have
been the louse she thought, instead he may have been working to protect
her. As Cat sparks the interest of a connected visitor to the town, she
also tries to evaluate her relationship with Seth...and find some
closure with Michael. Will she be able to get through her second retreat
and still get her word count in without any more dead bodies?
Lynn Cahoon delivers another fine mystery in FATALITY BY FIRELIGHT. The characters are well developed with solid backstories. Even the more minor characters are able to give glimpses of their lives beyond the page. The author is able to manage the current murder mystery with puzzles of the past, both compelling, and neither overshadowing the other.
FATALITY BY FIRELIGHT is a well written novel that wraps you up in coziness. The frigid Colorado temperatures are countered by the warmth of Cat and her friends, buffeted by the murder and puzzles that surround them.
