Enjoyable and interesting entry in this series

The Spirit in Question (A Lila Maclean Academic Mystery Book 3)

By: Cynthia Kuhn

Rating: 4 of 5

As with other books I have read in the Lila Maclean Academic Mystery series by Cynthia Kuhn, I found that reading this book was a several day read. It isn’t that the book is difficult to read but rather, I think it is because the setting (a private small college) is foreign to me.

It took several chapters for me to understand why our sleuth (Lila) was involved in the production of a musical play. Once I understood that, I was able to relax and go with the flow.

The play sounds hysterical and I could only wish I could see it in reality. Lila feels that it is doomed to failure and is working hard with the director to save it.

A murder occurs and Lila gets involved. The mystery is one that I didn’t solve until it was revealed. There were elements of the story’s end that I did figure out early on. It didn’t make the read less enjoyable but perhaps, in some small ways, a bit predictable.

I’ve enjoyed all the books in this series thus far and will be looking forward to more in the future. This novel stands alone and can easily be read as such.

I was provided a digital advance reader copy of this book by the publisher via Edelweiss.
