My Goodreads Review of “Still Lives” (Maria Hummel)

Still LivesStill Lives by Maria Hummel
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I liked this – murder mystery set in L.A.’s art world, thinly veiled to center around a museum that’s likely MOCA (where the author worked at one time). There’s enough likely perps to keep one guessing and in the end the murderer came as a surprise, but it all works. I especially liked the writer’s skill in delineating secondary characters and their backstories, which I think is fairly hard to do well in a first-person novel, which this is. Brava!
