I have high hopes that in the end, justice will prevail but here is a cozy/noir where the end was a downer because, well, the choices made were quite ugly. It's a VERY weird combo because cozy is generally...well cozy. But in this case, you've got your suburbia mom faced with some pretty awful choices--and not always making good ones. In ends where she made some that I didn't find particularly hopeful. Straight to Hell by Michelle Scott.
AND, I'm still very hopeful that when the series ends, good WILL prevail. But that can't change the darkness in this first book.
