While I finished the book and was sufficiently surprised with the killers reveal, I don't think I will read the next in the series. The main character, Becca, was extremely wooden. She was too perfect, I think. I can't really put my finger on why I disliked her so much. She is supposedly very ...
What a delightful mystery! The setting and characters are great. Isabelle has dropped out of law school and is helping her Gram run a cooking school in a small Missouri town. When a dead body is discovered in their supply room, it takes the help of a resident ghost - already well-acquainted with ...
Where to start... I liked the first book a bit more, which isn't always the case for me when starting a new series. I just couldn't get into the cousins in this book. I found them annoying and/or uninteresting. The story line was good, but not enough twists or moments to make me gasp. The book ...
Since I don't normally write reviews unless I have something specific to say, here's the break down of how I rate my books...1 star... This book was bad, so bad I may have given up and skipped to the end. I will avoid this author like the plague in the future.2 stars... This book was not very go...
I enjoyed this Country Cooking School Mystery by PAIGE SHELTON. IF MASHED POTATOES COULD DANCE takes place in Broken Rope, Missouri. It seems like everybody knows the other person in this small town. It's nice when people are personal friends with the police in the town. Betts is the main sleuth....
It was an older model, probably made back in the days when they called these things mopeds. It was bright yellow with a brown seat that oozed stuffing. Its motor was loud and emitted a large black cloud from burning oil. “You have to wear this,” Amy said as she handed me a...
In fact, we were close enough to the water and coastline that I saw a currently unpopulated beach at the end of the road and small, foamy, dark waves hitting the shoreline. The station was inside a small, old brick building with a clock tower rising up its middle turret. The sign above the door s...
Cliff said. “I can see them flirting, but could that have been what led to Teddy getting beaten or them yelling at each other tonight?” “I think that tonight Vivienne was irritated when she saw your brother with Opie, and she probably said something...
The station, located at the bottom of the long Main Street hill and then over two curvy streets, wasn’t far, because nothing was far in Star City, but walking back up the hill when I was done would be more a hike than a leisurely stroll back to work. I hoped Jodie would give me a ride. The statio...
Allison had known that Brenton was once married to Stephanie, and Sam didn’t think the long-ago marriage mattered, though he would stop by and talk to Stephanie himself just to see if there might be something pertinent to the current murder. In case my concern about Hobbit...
Gram said after she finished giving me the gruesome details of the nightmares she’d been having. “No, Gram, I’ve had bad dreams but nothing like those. I might have a theory about what’s behind them though. It might be a stretch, but maybe.” “I’m li...
He’d taken a plot of less than ideal land and turned it into something spectacular. Though I hadn’t seen it for some time, I’d heard about the combination house-warehouse that was almost finished and the rows of healthy, purple-flowered lavender plants that rolled idyllically up the short hillsid...
