Frozen A Tidy, But Decent Historical Mystery
1:00 AM
(Image from Barnes & Noble)


Set during a tumultuous time in history—a time of Prohibition and dirty politics—Frozen by Mary Casanova is a stirring drama about the eternal struggle between the powerful and the powerless. Sadie Rose is a sympathetic heroine with a worthy goal. It's easy to root for her success. The novel's plot moves swiftly, keeping the story chugging along. It feels contrived in places and the ending's too tidy, but all in all, it's a decent mystery that's both atmospheric and affecting.
(Readalikes: Reminded me a little bit of Out of the Easy by Ruta Sepetys)
Grade: B-
If this were a movie, it would be rated: PG-13 for language (no F-bombs), sexual content and violence
To the FTC, with love: I received an e-galley of Frozen from the generous folks at University of Minnesota Press (via NetGalley). Thank you!

This sounds like a great one. Thanks for sharing because I would likely have never stumbled across this book without your review!
ReplyDeleteI almost downloaded this one too but then looked at my huge TBR pile and changed my mind. Glad you enjoyed it though.
