“Sick of Shadows” by Sharyn McCrumb

I like Sharyn McCrumb as a writer very much, but this was not one of her better efforts, I think. This book is volume 1 in the Elizabeth Macpherson mystery series, and I expect that McCrumb was still developing her skills as a detective writer. One problem is that the pace is kind of slow because it consists mainly of dialogue. Also, the book did not resolve all issues to my satisfaction. I would especially like to know why the schizophrenic murder victim became upset when her psychiatrist arrived for the wedding. Did she infer that he was expecting trouble? And why did the murder victim decide to write a will?
