A DYEING SHAME by ELIZABETH SPANN CRAIG

 다양한 언어로 번역된 코지 미스테리장르의 작품이다. 외국 독자들의 평은 다양한거 같다. "The book is well written and flows at a brisk pace. The characters are warm and developed well enough that you feel you know them ..." "The author excels at character development and keeping the plot moving at a good pace .." "A DYEING SHAME is one of a series of soft mysteries featuring Myrtle Clover ..." " If you like cozies and enjoy the small town atmosphere which is the setting for many of them, this will be a book you will enjoy .." 읽으면서 2-3번 웃기도 했지만 개인적으로 큰 재미는 없었다. 후반부를 제외하면 지루한 감이 좀 있었다. 핵심어는 beauty salon,  domestic violence, abuse, killed, octogenarian, silver, love affairs, misunderstanding, gossip, fire alarm, trap 등이다.
