Blanche on the Lam: A Blanche White Mystery by Barbara Neely
3.0
I'd really give this 2.5 stars.
It's enjoyable, but not great. A fun cozy mystery with a likeable character. My biggest complaint is that the elements of the murder came a bit too easily--discovered more by word-of-mouth via the underground network of domestic workers and other Black folks unseen by the Southern white society of the story. I loved the idea of this network, but would have preferred if Blanche had discovered more concrete clues herself.
I'll read another in the series for sure.
