SOMETHING’S AFOOT…
The visit of quirky world-famous horror author Nathan Grimes to Star City is especially thrilling for Clare Henry and her grandfather Chester. As the owners of The Rescued Word, a charming boutique shop in town, Clare, and Chester specialize in restoring old typewriters and repairing beloved books. They’ve invited Nathan to their shop to use their equipment for his next book.
But all plans to work on the book take a step in the wrong direction when a tourist discovers an abandoned ski boot on the slopes—and the only sign of the owner is the dismembered foot he left inside! Nathan’s writer’s curiosity for all things horror is further piqued after the body of Clare’s high school friend Lloyd Gavin is discovered sans one foot. When all toes point to a class reunion gone wrong, Nathan can’t help but join Clare and her best friend, police officer Jodie Wentworth, as they hurry to track down the killer before more former classmates become Most Likely to Be Killed.
Dollycas’s Thoughts
A gruesome discovery on the slopes, a visit to Star City by horror author Nathan Grimes, and the arrival of a unique gift from an old high school classmate have Clare and Jodie very busy in this Dangerous Type Mystery.
The staff as the Rescued Word is joined by Nathan Grimes. He is using the shop’s Gutenberg press to publish a book of poetry, taking self-publishing to its limits by placing the type in the press himself. Clare, Chester, Marion, and Adal are all excited about this project. Clare’s relationship with Seth is going strong and I love the way the are will each other. We also meet some of Clare’s high school classmates and a few tourists as well. In each story, we get to know the main characters better and the new characters bring the drama to the Utah town. The relationships Clare has with every single character feel real and true. She is a wonderful protagonist, friendly and likable.
This time the main mystery has to do with a mini-reunion of men who attended high school in Star City. A connection between them is clear with the exception of Clare’s ex and police deputy Creighton. He just seems so out of place in the group. After the first man is found dead Jodie and Clare pull out all the stops to find the killer. There is also a minor mystery when one of the characters goes missing.
I really enjoy the typewriter theme. Learning about the Hooven typewriters was very interesting. I am surprised there is enough business to keep The Rescued Word a viable business in this electronic age but with customers like Nathan Grimes, it seems to stay open.
This is one of my favorite series. I just love these characters and the situations they find themselves in. The writing is crisp and very well plotted. I have fun following the clues and figuring out the killer. I was a couple of steps ahead of Clare this time but I enjoyed every minute of this story.
