BOLT FROM THE BLUE by Kerry Charles

BOLT FROM THE BLUE by Kerry Charles #BookTrib This was the first Dulcie Chambers mystery I read so I was a bit put off by meeting ten!, yes 10, characters in the first few pages. I started listing them on the fly so I could keep them straight and that was very helpful. Had I read others in the series, I would not have been wondering who these folks were and which ones were returning characters. The mystery was intriguing with opera and costuming and fashion design and museums all playing a role. I really liked the character of Bella. The slight romantic plot device between Nick and Dulcie was a nice contrast to the seriousness of the major plot line. I liked learning a bit about each of careers of the main characters. The quotes that began each chapter added to the story. Altogether a well plotted mystery with fully developed characters. I’ll read more from this author and this series. 5 of 5 stars
