This light and frothy historical by the author of the "Fairy Tale Fatal" series introduces a delightfully sweet protagonist who is nicely paired with the tough-as-nails Berta. Tiny Cedric adds levity as well. Cozy fans who are fond of Alice Duncan, Deborah Woodworth, and Ashley Weaver will want to add Chance's mystery to their to-read pile.
DiSilverio is acclaimed for her three cozy series ("Readaholics"; "Swift Investigations"; "Mall Cop"). Here, she delivers an outstanding, dark stand-alone that twists and turns between flashbacks and current-day events. Mercy/Iris, a flawed and tragic woman, must overcome her past in order to have a future. When all the secrets come to the surface, no one will be left undamaged. An excellent read for Megan Abbott or Kate Morton aficionados.
