Reviews for The Heirloom Murders
23 ratings3 reviews
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Good escape reading. This mystery takes place in Old World Wisconsin before the internet and cell phones were popular, but sort of timeless.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Really good follow up to the first in the series. The character becomes more likeable and much less sad, although there's still a slight tendency towards melodrama, imo. The mystery itself was interesting. Not sure why the author has the story taking place in the 80's, it threw me off a bit at first, because it's quite subtle. Still, I'm looking forward to the third book to come out.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The Heirloom Murders star Chloe Ellefson, a much more settled character in this second murder mystery set in Wisconsin. Chloe is a collections curator for Old World Wisconsin, a living history museum. When her friend (and avid gardener) Dellyn's sister commits suicide, Chloe steps up to assist Dellyn in continuing to sort through their parents historic house. We get a peek into the past, as Ernst retells the story of a pioneer family that discovers a diamond while digging a well. This gem does become germane to the present story, as greed seems to be a problem for several characters in this mystery. I bounced around a bit in trying to figure out the who-dun-it, but enjoyed the conclusion to the story very much.
