It’s Germany, 1867. A twenty-something American woman, working as a lady’s maid, fights to exonerate her best friend, who has been framed for murder, and in doing so, uncovers the “true” story of Snow White.
Snow White Red-Handed, the first book in the new Fairy Tale Fatal series by Maia Chance, was a cozy mystery right up my enchantingly forested path. Ophelia was such a plunky lead, bursting with curiosity and gumption. I really enjoyed the who-dun-it blended with the discovery of a fairy tale’s origins. Perfect reading for a cold winter’s night whilst snuggled inside a warm, fluffy blanket.
I can’t wait to read Cinderella Six Feet Under, set to be released on September 1, 2015.
