The dialogue made me smile. All of the characters had the tendency to trim down their thoughts so that they only shared the most necessary ideas with each other. This often meant that they spoke in sentence fragments that needed a little thought to figure out. I enjoyed the process of expanding these short pieces of dialogue and figuring out what the characters were actually saying to each other. Somehow, they always understood one another’s intentions no matter how few words anyone was using.

I would have liked to see more character development in this story. The personalities of the characters who received the most attention were strikingly similar. I actually mixed them up at times because of how many quirks and mannerisms they shared. It would have been helpful to see a more diverse range of interests and personalities in this world so that identifying everyone would be easier.

The thought of a werewolf who was currently in wolf form potentially solving a crime grabbed my attention. I’d never read anything like this before, and I was quite curious to see how someone who wasn’t in their human form would go about gathering clues and figuring out what actually happened. Mr. Graves did a very good job at finding creative solutions to all of the little and big problems the average shapeshifter could easily encounter when attempting to do something like this.

Werewolf in a Miata should be read by fans of the urban fantasy and mystery genres alike.
