I'm reading it now, Heidi, and know what you mean! Why did she do that? She's a good enough writer that she doesn't need this way too overused and worn out gimmick.

[❂ Murder by Death]

I started it today, but still only at the beginning. No one's been offed yet (just got to the head-lock/botox scene) and neither one of y'all are making me excited to pick it back up. ;-)

[❂ Murder by Death]

Ok, I finished Going, Going, Ganache and I actually didn't mind it as much as I was afraid I would....

I agree. I am sure she has her reasons but (view spoiler)[ I love Joe and Mel together and just when the Angie/Tate thing is evening out I am pulled back in. I also think any man who goes after a taken woman like the Detective is, is kind of scum -- maybe it is just me? Also as someone is who non conventional myself (married but childfree) I have no issues with Mel not wanting to get married - it is not for everyone - but no need to break up forever! Ugh! *bites nails* (hide spoiler)]

I still love Jenn M. Jennifer and love her writing style I just wish she wouldn't have left this thing so wide open until the next book! I hate cliff hangers!

One of my most recent reads was "Rest in Pizza" by Chris Cavender. (( spoiler )) Am I the only one who thinks Eleanor is getting awfully cocky, with a growing sense of entitlement? She thinks she needs to be told things that she definitely should keep her nose out of! Thoughts?

I just bought the second in this series, but have not started it yet. I really enjoyed the first one!

I agree with you, Heidi. (view spoiler)[Getting married is not the be-all and end-all for a lot of people and I don't see it as a reason to completely end a relationship. But not everyone feels that way and sometimes people on opposite ends of the spectrum end up together for whatever reason. I'm not quite of the same opinion on the deal with the detective. As long as you're not married, if someone else is interested then it's open season! LOL (hide spoiler)]

I just finished Dying on the Vine by Peter King. I did not like this one a well a sthe first two in the series. I hope the next one is better.

I agree and I hate cliffhangers as well. I'm annoyed with her for messing with a good thing - it felt like she or her editor panicked and felt the need to go the cliche'd route. BUT.... it feels like it will be short-lived, or at least comments made throughout the book make me feel like it will be.

(view spoiler)[Also, I too am taking the unconventional route (living-in-sin, no children) and while I'm not opposed to getting married (he and I suffer from Inertia), I also see no reason why Mel and Joe have to go to one extreme or another, marriage or break-up. But from a story building standpoint, I can see why Joe would find this important, coming from a large, traditional, Italian family. Still, you'd think a conversation about all of this would be reasonable, no? (hide spoiler)]

[Heidi]

I agree with your 100% Jennifer. I can not believe I am getting this worked over a cozy mystery! I am so attached to these characters!

[Lisa]

I just finished Nobody it was a really good book. It had spiritual elements but kept you wondering what would happen next.

[Katherine]

Finished and enjoyed it.

[Chuck]

Just finished listening to Red Velvet Cupcake Murder. It was an okay mystery, figured it out of course. Wish the love triangle was over. Almost didn't read this book because of that.

[Melissa]

Finished , and .

[Mary]

I just finished reading The Walled Flower by Lorraine Bartlett.

[Mary (Biblophile)]

Just finished and didn't much care for it.

[Maria]

I just finished reading Dying for Danish.

[Bandmama (aka Lucy) - Claiming Mitch as mine]

I'm trying to read through some of my stash from past freebies or cheap deals. I just finished and liked it a lot. I'll pick up the others in this series as well.

[Robin]

[Nell]

Read Faithful Unto Death last week while I was away. Very good mystery that was nominated for an Agatha.
Also just finished Stork Raving Mad. Great reminder of why I love this author.

[Linda]

Just finished and thought it was terrific. A witty protagonist and a bunch of quirky characters made this a great cozy read.

I liked that one, but not the 2nd one!

[Tina]

I just finished What in the world has gotten into Tate? But I still love him. Very suspenseful cliffhanger leaving me on the edge of my seat. Mel needs to make up her mind what she wants. Can't wait for sugar and iced.

I didn't realize the second one was available!

I know! I am so attached to all the characters in that series!

[Mary (Biblophile)]

I just finished Snoop and and enjoyed them both.

[Susie]

Just finished . Dog show stuff was kind of overwhelming, but it was still a good book :)

[Zoe]

I finished and It was an enjoyable start to a new series for me.

[Denise]

I just finished book 10 of the Sheriff Sharyn Howard mystery series by Joyce and Jim Lavene, Last One Down. I wish more of the group would read this series. It is outstanding. Last One Down has been the best so far (I gave it a 5 star). The characters are "real" and you really get to know them over the series.

Another of the Lavene's series, the Missing Pieces Mysteries, are also really good. I read the last two, A Spirited Gift and A Haunting Dream back to back. They were great. The next one comes out Oct 1 and I hate that I have to wait 6 months to read it.

groan... another series I cannot miss??? I better live to be 90!

[Melissa]

Just finished .

[Diane ~Firefly~]

Well I finally read even with the warning of the triangle. Overall I just wanted to smack Mel (view spoiler)[At least talk about your doubts and really, are you going to be less hurt if Joe dies just because you aren't married??? I also don't get the whole "Tate having to prove himself worthy thing". (hide spoiler)]

I did like the interaction with the magazine people and I really wonder how Olivia has time to run her own bakery when she spends so much of it obsessing over what Mel and Angie do.

[Sara]

I just finished re-reading the first three Jacqueline Kirby books by Elizabeth Peters. , , and .

It had been years since I read these and didn't remember that the first two books in the series are not told from Jacqueline's point of view--interesting way to tell the story. I think I enjoyed the first one the most.

Looked for the next in the series, Naked Once More, but it's not on Kindle. Must check my local library...

Agreed on all points!

Foul Play at the Fair looking forward to the next book in the series

[Robin]

I missed reading this one.

[Bandmama (aka Lucy) - Claiming Mitch as mine]

I just finished Playing with Poison and was very pleasantly surprised. Fun, fun, and fun. I'll definitely read the others in this series.

I hesitated reading it for some time because "a female pool shark" but found that really she is a 52 year old romance writer who plays pool for fun and is "damn good at both".

I have to read this one too. You are ahead of me on the freebie reads Bandmama!

[Melodie]

Finished last night and think I'm a minority because I didn't like it nearly as much as the first one. Think I would have liked a bit more mystery and a lot less "magick".

Ok I can totally see where you are coming from. There was a ton of magic in this one and it had several eye rolling moments for me.

Yep - the bit with her mom, etc. etc. was a bit of the mystery reservation....

It's good. I really enjoyed it. Heidi you'll like it too and I'm only ahead in the free reads because remember when I took time off before starting my new job . . . . it was worth every penny I'm having to budget out right now but I'm waiting on the 1st of the month paycheck :). Lucy

[❂ Murder by Death]

I bought Front Page Fatality on a whim some time back and I finally picked it up today. I have to say, it was excellent! A very solid mystery.

Thanks for the review. This one keeps popping up in my recommendations. I'll give it a try.

[Mary (Biblophile)]

Just finished . Average cozy, but enjoyable.

[Lynne]

Just finished A Vision of Murder last night. I'm really enjoying this series.

Just finished and .

I was wondering if I should continue with this series. I liked the first 3 but kind of forget about the series after I read the books for some reason.
