The Luck Runs Out | 
so-soThis was ok. I liked the first in the series better. This was pretty slow-moving. Some of the terminology felt… pretentious? (Trying to come up with a good word.) Maybe it was supposed to be, since there are so many academics in the book? I did lose interest periodically, so I missed how they figured out “who dun it”, though at least I did catch the “who”. I will read the next book in the series before deciding if I want to continue further.
pickProfessor Shandy of the Balaclava Agricultural College is back again, stumbling into more trouble when he and his wife are kidnapped by thieves as they are shopping for silverware. The local horse farrier is found murdered in the college barn and the prize winning pig Belinda has been stolen. Are these incidents related? This is a fun cozy mystery series that is surprisingly witty and a great distraction during this anxious time.
