Book Review: Shadow in the Glass by M.E. Hilliard

I really enjoyed The Unkindness of Ravens and was very excited for a second Greer novel. An executive-turned-librarian protagonist is near and dear to my heart, as I am one myself, and while I don’t even remotely enjoy (or envy!) Greer’s capacity for finding her way into and out of trouble, reading about it is magnificently entertaining.

Admittedly, this was not quite as fast a read for me as the first book. The pacing was a little uneven and things felt highly repetitive in a couple of junctures. Still, the characterizations and plot were entertaining and if the ending was a little far-fetched, well, it was still an enjoyable read.

I am definitely going to stick with the series, as I am dying to find out what she is able to uncover about her husband’s murder… And I find Ian a delightful addition to her universe. Their burgeoning (re)relationship should offer the opportunity for loads more snarky back-and-forth and collaboration and I look forward to watching it play out!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for my obligation-free review copy.
