Status Updates From Bitterroot Lake

The MC is a widow and loves cats, and that's really why I'm going to read to the end. We have many characters and references to minor (and historical) characters throughout the book. It is well-written. But the descriptions and the story/backstory (we'll see how it's revelant when they solve the crime) set in the 1920s disconnect me from the present story, but I'm not a historical fiction fan.
