Gravely Murdered by local author Marty Damon is the second book in her mystery series featuring Cate MacLeod. In the first book, Cate returned home to Calvin after losing her job in the city. Now working on a project for the town planners, Cate expects a September evening to be a boring night of small town history. Instead, she stumbles over a body and is dropped into a tangle of jealousy, past injustice, and revenge.
The second Cate MacLeod mystery novel is even better than the first. Damon blends established characters with new in a small New England town that makes you think of Angela Fletcher's Cabot Cove without the water.
The murder of one of the well-known residents in town, who isn't exactly everyone's cup of tea, lends itself to a story filled with a plethora of potential suspects. Damon knows the cozy mystery genre and she writes it well. Filled with twists and turns, any cozy mystery lover is sure to enjoy Gravely Murdered and might be surprised by who the actual culprit is--which in my mind, is the makings of a great mystery.
Though you don't need to start with the first book, Well Murdered, because both stand alone, I am enjoying the evolution of Cate and her relationships as she navigates being a city girl living in her hometown and solving mysteries along the way.
