Having enjoyed my visit with Sigrid Harald so much, I have been thinking about other series and wondering if there will be additional books.  Great series where I want more include those by Kate Charles, Julia Spencer Fleming and  A D Scott.  Do you like strong women characters whom you can get to know well?  Look for Callie, Claire and Joanne.  You can’t go wrong!  More please.

How welcome to see the return of Sigrid Harald after so many years!  
Wonderful to connect with this book and the characters in an engaging 
mystery that can be read by fans old or new.  There is enough backstory to 
make this an enjoyable read for those new to the series who are perhaps 
missing Deborah Knott.  
Margaret Maron brings the New York City of the 90s vividly to life.  
It is a world in which the WTC still stands and one could eat at Lutece.  
But all is not well as murders occur at a park bench.  Further, there are 
mysteries regarding Sigrid's former love, the artist Oscar Nauman.
This book is well written and highly recommended for Margaret Maron fans 
and anyone who likes a (slightly) gritty New York mystery.
Book provided by Net Galley for an honest review.

I have loved reading ever since I started with Dick and Jane in kindergarten.  I quickly moved on to Nancy Drew, Trixie Belden and the Dana Girls.  I’ve been reading mysteries and fiction ever since.  I’m excited about sharing my thoughts on mysteries and other good reads with you.  There are so many good reads to choose from!
