I very much enjoyed A Death in Door County and the follow up is just as good!

Death in the Dark Woods finds Morgan, the cryptozoologist, and her dog Newt, chasing a lead about mysterious deaths and sightings of Bigfoot up in Chequamegon National Forest.

What I like the most about Annelise Ryan’s writing are the lowkey atmosphere and surprisingly easy to follow investigative procedures. She makes it realistic and believable, while also taking certain creative liberties with the plot. The colorful descriptions of Wisconsin in the Fall were to die for, the Midwest does that rather well!

The plot was peppered with clues throughout and wrapped up with a satisfying reveal. I enjoy the group of characters we see- Jon, Rita and Devon – making Morgan’s team complete.

Another terrific monster hunting cozy mystery!
