A travel writing convention has brought writers, bloggers, and vloggers to cozy Emerson Falls. But for one of the writers, this trip will be his last. Emerson Falls couldn't be more idyllic: a cozy town tucked into a bend of the Skagit River, up in the northern part of Washington state, near an area known as the American Alps. With the stunning new convention center downstairs in the town's mansion-turned-library, it seems like the perfect place for a travel writing convention. But the fun has barely begun when one of the star writers is found dead. Megan Montaigne, Library Director and would-be forensics investigator, jumps into action. Living in the apartment on the library's top floor puts her in the center of all the activities. She is immediately on the case to help Deputy Max Coleman bring resolution and tranquility to their town once again. Evocative descriptions of the Skagit River region will have readers planning their own visits to the region. The immersive setting, combined with compelling characters readers want to get to know, drives A Conventional Murder, the second Megan Montaigne mystery. The story is a blend of the traditional and cozy mystery genres with added depth and heart. The Megan Montaigne mysteries are standalone mysteries and may be read in any order.… (more)

I was awake early this morning so finished up A Conventional Murder by Pam Stucky, the second in her Megan Montaigne series. A travel writers' convention comes to town and murder ensues, with the local haunted old hospital the ideal location. Megan gets involved even as her relationship with the town police officer, Max, grows more friendly. A classic cozy mystery with the added element of the Pacific Northwest as a setting. Megan is the library director but doesn't seem to do much library work as she is so busy detecting. It's a classic, well-written cozy mystery series that makes the setting part of the story along with the other typically quirky town folks. ( )
