Although I had this book on my Kindle since December, I haven't gotten to read it until now.
First of all, I enjoyed this book and its setting and gave it 4 stars. I was particularly interested in reading this book by Tim Myers, because I have read a couple of the Donut Shop Mysteries by him (as Jesssica Beck) and really enjoyed those.

It was interesting to have a male character as the main character in a cozy mystery.

There were only tiny things that got me wonderjng about:
One remark that got me wondering (I don't think that it is a spoiler): At one point he tells the reader that he got "a complete set of Agathe Christies" as a gift from his aunt as a child and that he read these books. As I am a big fan of her books myself I own a collection of her books. There are roundabout 80 books on my shelf... That amount didn't make sense to me in this setting... Or is there a collection of her books that doesn't cost that much and doesn't take up so much space?

Thanks for joining in on this read! I didn't know Tim Myers and Jessica Beck were the same person. I have the Donut Shop Mysteries on my list as well. In fact, the first book in that series is in the jar.

Being gifted a complete set of Agatha Christie books seems unbelievable, even out of context. Though if that really did happen, I'd love to have his aunt lol! I haven't gotten around to this title yet, but I did buy it on Kindle in December. I will get to it, if not this month than during March Mystery Madness!
