Book Review of The Cutting Season: A Novel

The Cutting Season: A Novel


Generations of Carens family have lived on Belle Vie. From slaves to running the plantation as a historical reenactment site. With a recent murder that her daughter has a connection to, Caren has more to deal with than ever.

For a book that is labeled mystery I found a lot of it was predictable but sometimes addicting to read. I say addicting because although I figured out who was working with the murderer I did not figure that Caren would keep so much from the police. The writing was okay I am not sure why but I could tell this was a newer author. It was interesting that the love interest part did not overwhelm the story, like some mystery books do.
