| Quick
Walk to Murder
reintroduces Jessie Murphy, a local artist, who finds herself
caught up in another local murder mystery. This one involves
the murder of the son of a local crab farmer family. Jessie
involves her best friend, Zen, and her trusty gargoyle, Gar,
to help solve the murder and meet some of the more underlying
local characters of Pine Island.
The characterization
of the characters is not too in depth. The plot twists are
simple, and some are not needed. It seemed that some twists
were just thrown in to take up pages. It is a quick mystery
read that could only take place where southern crab fishing
takes place, so the setting was great. The details about the
setting and culture were simple and not overwhelming, which
adds to the easiness of reading the book.
Overall,
if you are looking for a quick murder mystery read, Quick
Walk to Murder will fit that expectation. It does have
some very unique characters, which add to making it a fun
read, and makes readers question if these type of people really
exist-they do.
