Sentenced To Death (A Booktown Mystery #5) (2011) - Plot & Excerpts
This was ok as a cozy mystery but there are ways to make the characters more distinctive. I listened to the book while driving from Virginia to Florida, and it was just about right for listening while traveling. I might be a little more enthused about the book if I had read the earlier books first, but this was available to download from my library to my Kindle.The mystery begins with a Founder's Day celebration on the village green in front of a landmark gazebo. Unfortunately, the airplane which is carrying the Founder's Day banner crashes into the Gazebo killing Debora, Tricia's good friend. Everyone begins to get suspicious when her husband, sells her store, parcels out his son to Debora's mother, cremates the body and brings a date the non/memorial of his wife 2 days after she was killed.Soon, there are other deaths, each one leading Tricia to the identity of the murderer. I found it a little difficult to tell some of these people apart, but as I said, it might be because I didn't read the first book. Great to be back in Stoneham N.H. aka Booktown. Happy that my favorite characters are still the same as always a little quirky but always there when you need them. I don't want to say too much as I don't want to ruin any of the surprises Mrs. Barrett has in store for you but I am excited to get the next book in the series to continue to read about Tricia's love opportunities. Could an old flame be coming back???
