Draw
and Order is the second book in the Paint
and Shine series by Cheryl Hollon. In this one Miranda Trent is still
doing her painting tours while trying to get her moonshine distillery up and
running. But it ends up being one thing after another trying to stop her. I
enjoyed this one more than I did the first one, and I think it's because it was
able to focus more on the mystery aspect and Miranda's business because so much
of the character development took place in the first book.
I
love cozy mysteries, and I especially love the ones set in my home state of
Kentucky and write the characters and state in a truthful light. And Cheryl did
that. Miranda is a character that reminds me of myself in many ways
especially the childhoods of running barefoot around the family farm. I
spent a many childhood summer days doing just that. What stood out to me
was seeing my great aunt's name as a character in the book, Miranda's aunt Ora
Cable does indeed have a name that fits in Kentucky farming country. This
is the first time I've seen that name in a book. It's tidbits like that
that make the Kentucky setting and people come alive. I look forward to
the next book in the series.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher
through netgalley. I was not required to write a positive review. All opinions
expressed are mine alone.
