I enjoy a good Ronnie Lake mystery. The strong female protagonist is awesome to follow along, and the mysteries that the author weaves together are engaging and fun. Delilah: A Ronnie Lake Cold Case: Short Story is no different in that sense.
However, I find it strange that book two of the series is a short story, whereas the other books in the series are full-length novels. While this short story was complete with a satisfying beginning, middle, and end with plenty of suspense, I felt there was a lot more potential missing due to the length.
The story is about 50 pages (the rest is an excerpt from the first book), so it’s a quick read. Despite being the second book, this is a great intro to the author’s writing style and the characters. If you enjoy reading mystery stories, this is a quick read you can get through that’s still satisfying.
Rating: 4/5 Coffee Cups
