You will find a circle of mystery writers, references to mystery books and authors, and of course the amateur sleuth, all of which give it that vague "cozy" feel.

Fatal Shadows is chuck-full of atmosphere and at times it felt almost as if I were reading a "cozy." Although you won't find the knitting, cooking or baking theme in this book, there is a theme. Lanyon begins this series with a murder mystery that had me turning the pages and racing to the end. My friend Mary brought it to my attention and I finally, finally got to it! Why did I wait so long?

Fatal Shadows by Josh Lanyon is the first book in the Adrien English Mysteries series a series I've been meaning to read since 2008.
