Jonathan's Reviews > The Last Suppers

Really 3.5 stars but I rounded up

Another wonderful book in what is turning out to be a solid series. The Last Suppers takes us to Goldy and Tom's wedding, however a cryptic phone call comes from Tom and then he disappears. Goldy must find out what's happened to her fiance and who murdered the priest before the killer kills Tom.

I really like Goldy, she funny, but yet a very strong main character, having suffered abuse from her ex-husband, then having to rebuild her life for her family, she's great! The rest of the "normal" characters also appeared, Arch, Marla, Julian, and, of course, Tom. Ms. Davidson did a wonderful job of portraying Goldy and her friends and family in a state of shock after Tom is kidnapped, it's honestly what I'd expect in this situation.

The mystery was good, I figured it out only a few pages before the killer was revealed. There wasn't as many clues as I'd have liked, but it was still a good, solid mystery that I enjoyed.

However, the book had a couple of drawbacks. It seemed like the author dragged some explanations about Goldy's church and the priest's house out forever. I found myself getting distracted by these lengthy descriptions. But yet she did a wonderful job introducing some new characters from the church, I really hope we see Agatha, Zelda, and Lucille in future books.

Overall a good mystery, very good characters, but some lengthy and at times boring descriptions gives The Last Suppers 3.5/5 stars. I'm looking forward to the next book!
