I enjoyed this book, and felt like it was a good mystery. I liked the way that Chrystina's story was woven in with the investigation. I am about to start "Cyanide Wells", and hope it is as enjoyable as this one was.

Funny enough this is listed as Fiction and not a mystery. I must not know much about genres because it was a mystery to me. I went looking for another Marcia Muller book after reading Ice and Stone. This was the only one on the shelf at my library. All I can say is wow! This book was great. Even better than Ice and Stone. The character development was terrific! I need good character development to get into a book. And the mystery and twists and turns were wonderful. I had to stay up late one night (I love my sleep) to finish reading it because I couldn't put it down. I'm passing this on to my husband to read next.

Helen Harper’s witty urban fantasies never fail to delight me, and Brimstone Bound is no exception. The first-person narrator, Emma Bellamy, has almost finished her training as a detective in London when she’s given her final trainee assignment: the Supernatural Squad. Although no one in their right mind wants such a post, she’s determined to make the best of policing the city’s vampires, werewolves, and assorted other “supes.” That is, until she herself is brutally murdered and wakes up in the morgue without a scratch on her. She’s not a vampire now, or a zombie, or anything anyone has heard of. Maybe her boss knows – oh no, now he’s been murdered, although it’s made to look like an accident.
Fast-paced, full of innovative plot twists, and always engaging, Harper’s latest is a quick, juicy read.
