I love any and everything told in alternating timelines, especially when one timeline could be considered historical fiction, so this was a hit for me. I started this book on my train ride from Charlotte to Raleigh last weekend then finished on the way back. The husband to be gave me the “ick”, as the kids would say, but the story was fun and the plot twist was unexpected. I don’t think this book is classified as a cozy mystery but I definitely think Pretty Dead Things fits the bill.
