The Art of Vanishing was an enjoyable, easy read that had me
chuckling at parts and surprised me at others. Although no one dies in this
cozy mystery there are still plenty of mysterious happenings and a culprit to
sniff out to keep the reader engaged in the story. This book was the second
book in the series but it could be read without having read the first.
I did truly enjoy the story but there were a couple things
that bothered me. I felt like Lila doesn’t really do all the much to solve the
crimes. Most of the stuff that happens in the story happens around or to Lila
rather than her actually doing anything about it. I really like Lila as a
character, I just wanted her to have a more take charge attitude about everything.
She had some moments of actions, but each of them seemed to be reactions to her
surroundings or what others had said or done. I hope that in future books she
takes charge of the story a bit more.
Overall I give the book 4 out of 5 stars. Even without an
actual murder it was a great read. I am looking forward to reading more stories
from the author.
