Mint Julep Murder (1996) - Plot & Excerpts

ok i want to write a letter to the author telling her i will never purchase another of her books because of the gratuitous way in which she slanders conservatives. I don't know the demographics of the audience for mystery "cozies" which is what this is, but I guess it must be overwhelmingly liberal.I see no reason to shell out money to have my political beliefs insulted. Hart makes conservatives out to be:alcoholicsneakyswaggeringcowardlyill-manneredfraudsAnd while this makes for a good "red herring" in the book, she's lost a customer in me.Not to mention--and this is perhaps more important for the goodreads crowd--the book is not well written. It is I think 9th in a series and by this time apparently Hart was just "phoning it in" so to speak. There is not even a single Mint Julep in the whole book! How misleading is that????And the motive for the crime isn't revealed until the next to last chapter--no way anyone could have solved it just by reading it.So--DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY. Buy a good Dorothy L. Sayers or Agatha Christie--the classics never go out of style.

I fine little romp despite (and it's a big "despite" in my book) ONCE AGAIN the novel resorting to suspecting one of the series' lead characters of murder. Really? how about someone else be suspected for a change? Just saying. We're all mystery fans, I think we'd be able to suspend our disbelief long enough to go with people-tend-to-die-around-Annie-and-Max-a-lot as an adequate reason for a nw book -- it really does NOT have to always be Annie and Max suspected of murder. That being said, I really did enjoy this. It was light. It was fun. The MIL wasn't nearly as annoying as usual. The plot ran well and and was engaging. All in all, I leave it looking forward to the next installment---in which, I suppose, it will be Max's turn to be suspected of murder.
