But I was so taken with the cover that I expected the story within to speak to me just as strongly, and unfortunately it didn’t. It is still one of my favorites this year and evokes a feeling of desolation and dread, and I was thrilled when I was approved on Edelweiss to read it. When the cover was first revealed for Not a Drop to Drink, I was ecstatic. Lynn fit into it nicely, and watched over Lucy while she slept.

In a word: Beautifully descriptive writing, a feisty but unemotional heroine, some tense moments that made my heart beat faster, but ultimately weak world-building that made the story less enjoyable. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() As the detectives uncover the dead woman's secrets, they begin to suspect a truth that could cost them more than their lives.
