Title: Santa Fe
Mourning
Author: Amanda Allen
Pages: 288
Genre: cozy mystery
Rating: 4 stars
Santa Fe Mourning by Amanda Allen is the first book in
the A Santa Fe Revival Mystery series. Madeline Vaoughn-Alwin goes west
after losing her husband in WWI as a way to grieve to also put space between
her and her wealthy New York city upbringing. She settles in New Mexico
and tries her hand at being a painter.
When one of the people who work for her is found
murdered and the police don't act like the crime is worth solving
she takes it upon herself to solve the crime.
I've read other novels set during the 1920s complete
with flappers but never one set in New Mexico during this time period.
Which was a welcome change. Ms. Allen did her research because she was able to
bring 1920s Santa Fe to life and give the characters a life of their own.
I look forward to the next book in the series.
