Description Reason for Concern: Mrs. B Mystery by Anita Kulina
Mrs. B is back on the case with a new mystery to solve!
People don’t vanish into thin air. Yet no one has seen Alice since St. Mary’s Senior Center had their Supper Club outing on Sunday. As Mrs. B learns more about her friend, the disappearance seems to involve a burglary, an emerald necklace and maybe even a motorcycle gang.
Where in heaven’s name is Alice?
Review Reason for Concern: Mrs. B Mystery by Anita Kulina
Guest review by Sage Nor
Book two of the Mrs. B Mystery series features a strong plot, a compelling mystery and, just as the book did before it has the perpetually charming Mrs. B herself.
This book finds Mrs. B and her similarly-aged, firecracker of a friend, Anne looking for their shared friend, Alice who has gone missing from the senior center. Mrs. B feels personally responsible for Alice’s disappearance as she was supposed to give her a ride home that Sunday but ended up leaving without her when Alice never emerged from the senior center. This, as well as some personal issues with her daughter, takes an emotional toll on Mrs. B throughout the novel, an aspect that I felt really added a lot to her character development in the series.
Overall, I was really struck and impressed by the lengths that Mrs. B was willing to go to in searching for her friend. She was so persistent and tenacious that even when she was repeatedly told that Alice had probably just left town of her own accord, Mrs. B still continued to look for her if only just to confirm the naysayers conclusions. And, of course, since it’s a mystery, we all know that there was more to the story than just that.
Anita Kulina is a great writer with a lot of talent and ingenuity. There were so many creative and distinctive qualities to the writing of this book, even down to the way that she separated out the sections with the headings detailing what day it was so you knew where you were in the story. I would love to read more of her writing and I hope she has many more books in mind for this series in particular. Mrs. B is a gem! I hope if I ever go missing she will come looking for me, too! 5 out of 5 stars.
Sage received the ebook for her honest review.
