FTC: I received a free copy of this book from Partners In Crime Book Tours in exchange for my honest review. I received no other compensation and the opinions expressed in this review are one hundred percent true and my own.
Winter Witness by Tina deBellegarde, was an exciting book. I enjoyed this book but I did find the pace of the book to be slow. I did love that this author created an entire world for her characters. All of the people that you come across in this story seem like they are real people out there in the world. I love it when I find books like this one because I love finding new friends as I am reading. I did find that this book kept me reading even though at times I thought it could have moved along faster. I fell in love with Agatha because I love old ladies like her and I love people that are like her in the real world. This is one of the few books that I didn’t try and figure out what was going on I just enjoyed the journey that this book took me on. I can’t wait to see what next for these characters in the future. If you are looking for a new mystery book to check out I would recommend this book to you.
