Short-Circuited in Charlotte by Amy Patricia Meade
My rating: 2 of 5 stars, it was okay.
Book 2 in the series. This is a re-issue under a new publisher with a new series name.
I didn't like this one as much as the first book in the series. Nick was pretty much a minor character in a too loooong list of characters. And Stella was a bit off-putting in this one. I found it to be rather slow moving at times, and ended up dropping it a few times to go read something else.
I still like the married couple concept, as it puts off so much of the relationship angst that a lot of cozies have. But for that to work, I need the couple to work together, rather than just having one there in a minor role. I'd also think that Nick, a ranger for the US Forest Service, would have a bit more of a law enforcement bent, since quite frankly, these days federal rangers are all law enforcement officers, in addition to being conservation officers, and have been for decades.
I'd still like to read the next in the series, especially if it's offered on NetGalley, or through my local library.
*I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book provided by the publisher, via NetGalley.*
