Review:
This book is an escape. At least, that is how I enjoyed it. I'm not fond of mysteries--I often feel tricked by the author. With this book, I decided not to try and figure it out and I found the book much more enjoyable. I let the mystery unwind just like another plot and I was able to fall into the book instead of constantly analyzing it. That was both a release and an escape.
Despite this being a murder mystery, the overall feel of the book is not tension, but calm. I know that this is an ironic comment to those who have actually read the book. If you have not, don't worry, it is no mystery and is spelled out relatively quickly, but I have opted not to do so as calm is a frequently referenced turning point throughout the book and for those who like a mystery (I'm revealing nothing), I have no desire to mislead.
The characters have added some dimension and there is clearly a much longer plot unfolding beyond the particular major plot points of this book. It is pleasant to fall into Penny's world. I plan to revisit Three Pines in the future.
