Not for me!

Death in the Dark Woods by Annelise Ryan is the second book in A Monster Hunter Mysteries. It can be read as a standalone for those new to the series. Morgan Carter is a cryptozoologist, which I find to be an interesting and unique career. I had trouble getting through this story because of the author’s writing style and the long, detailed descriptions (the story moved slower than a snail on a hot, July day in Florida). I found Odds and Ends to be an unusual shop (there were some interesting pieces in the shop). After Morgan’s upbringing, I can see why it appeals to her along with her work as a cryptozoologist. I was expecting suspense, a touch of terror, and a puzzling mystery. I found the main mystery to be a letdown. The solution seemed implausible (there were different factors that seemed unrealistic). The secondary mystery was easy to solve. A Monster Hunter Mysteries is not a series for me. Death in the Dark Woods left me feeling frustrated, annoyed, and disappointed.
