Abby got on my nerves in this book but I like the series too.

Melissa how was A Killer Read??

[Kelly]

Currently I am reading, 'The Stories of Edgar Allan Poe'. It's a real thriller. From the small collection of stories intertwined into a beautiful piece of art, I have learned so much from a book that is supose to send shivers up your spine.

Heidi (trust me) wrote: "Melissa how was A Killer Read??"

I really enjoyed it and can't wait for the next one. The story itself was great, but what I also liked was that each chapter had a line from a different mystery book and several characters had reading lists at the end of the book, so I found some more books I haven't read yet.

[Heidi]

Thanks for the update Melissa!

I agree, Abby was a little annoying, especially the parts where she's bickering with Dutch, she acts like a petulant child.

byLeslie Meier. I liked that Lucy Stone got to take her sleuthing skills to the Big Apple! I enjoyed the story.

[Karen M]

Finished The Kalahari Typing School for Men and am on to #5.

[Zoe]

I finished - one star for me. There wasn't much of a mystery; no clues, no systematic sleuthing, only a description of the hunt for antiques ( interesting, but this is supposed to be a murder mystery ). Moreover, we are informed that the heroine got herself in the middle of another murder mystery in the past and was awarded with a bullet in her thigh, but there's not much elaboration on the issue. What really surprised me was that Lucy was completely computer illiterate and didn't know how to use a cell phone. Really? Plus, in the end, she confronts the killer in the most stupid way: she faces him weaponless and simply starts screaming her head off but she manages to escape without being killed. No comment...

[Linda]

Last night I finished Wall-to-Wall Dead. Best of the series, in my opinion.

[adlin]

Just finished reading A Fatal Waltz. Not as good as the second book in this series, but still enjoyable.

Hi Zoe. I wonder if you reviewed the book or just rated it with a one star? It sounds like you had some good comments (that the author may be able to use for future books) and there's nothing more frustrating as an author than to get a one star without comment.

I just finished . It had a twist I really didn't like.

I really loved this series. This is the last one, which really disappointed me.

[Melodie]

Finished , and see what you were talking about, Heidi & Jennifer. I really like this series and the characters , so am willing to give the author a pass on all but one thing (view spoiler)[THE GAMBLING!!! No way Mattie is that stupid!! She put up with too much shit from David to just throw that money away! (hide spoiler)]

[❂ Murder by Death]

I know - it was totally, completely out of character. Nobody with a brain in their head actually thinks they can get ahead that way.

[Mary (Biblophile)]

Just finished and found it mediocre. Probably will read the next in the series as it may improve.

[Lynne]

I finished last night. This wasn't my favourite mystery. I've heard good things about this series, so I'll read the next one. Hopefully I like it better.

This one didn't do a thing for me either. Won't bother with another.

[Melissa]

Just finished .

[Barb]

I just finished and was happy that things worked out the way they did. (view spoiler)[I was really hoping Anita would be the victim, then hoped she was somehow the killer, but I'm ok with her being involved in the book theft issue. At least she shouldn't be involved in the next book! :) (hide spoiler)]

Next up is , which I've had on my TBR list for what seems like forever!

She lost her publisher, meaning they didn't think she sold well enough. Sucks!

I don't like Suzanne either. I quit 1 or 2 before this one.

I completely agree with you guys. I love this series and couldn't wait for the new one to come out! I found it less comical than the last few, but also so uncharacteristic of Mattie! I hope the next one is better.

[Christi]

I started with 4 of Joanne Flukes books but now I am reading DMD her books are so good I have read 3 of her books in the last 2 days. Just love Goldie Bear......

[Becky]

I just finished Red Velvet Cupcake murder by Joanne Fluke it was better than the last one & i got several good recipes from it but i'm so sick of hannah. She's a judgemental uptight........ I have nothing good to say so i'll stop lol

[Jennifer]

I just finished Vows, Vendettas and a Little Black Dress which I freely admit I bought because I loved the title. Turns out I also really liked the mystery, and I'm not even irritated to discover I accidentally read the fifth book in the series first!

I am reading the 6th book now - I love the series.

[Denise]

I have just finished two cozies:

Before The Last Lap, book 11 in the Sharyn Howard mystery series. For me, this wasn't as good as some but was still a good read. The only thing I hate is the next book, The First Shall Be Last is the end of the series. I am so bummed.

I also read Double-Booked for Death. It was okay for a first book in the series, maybe a bit over-long but understandable as setting the stage for the characters, etc. I like bibliomysteries so I will definitely read the next one in the series, A Novel Way to Die.

I read somewhere that she'll be back with a new mystery series, writing as Annie Knox.

[Marisa, Cozy Mysteries Assistant Moderator]

I've just finished Dangerous Depths and I've liked it as the other two books. It's a pity I only have another one to read.

Melodie - it's a great series! I think you'll like it quite a bit! ::fingers crossed::

OOOh It took me a minute to get this - There's no Goldie Bear in Fluke's books. You must be reading Diane Mott Davidson's culinary mysteries. I like the character development in this one. I stopped reading her around book 10 and keep meaning to pick this series up again.

[Zoe]

I finished and I really liked it. The truth is that I didn't enjoy the first book but I loved the second one and decided to continue with the series. I revel in the small town atmosphere and its coziness; the characters are likeable (of course Beth should be a little more self-confident and get rid of the guilt complex that very often rears its ugly head, but she seems to have become more extrovert and courageous due to her PTA activities ) and a new love interest seems to have appeared. I have already bought and will soon plunge into Beth and Marina's next adventure!

I enjoy them. They have a lot more sex and racy talk than average cozies but I know that doesn't bother you.

From our lips to the author's ears! :)

[Melissa]

The last cozy I read was Red Velvet Cupcake Murder, which really annoyed me with the triangle that won't end. Before that was Easter Egg Hunt Murder.

[Melissa]

Sorry it should be Easter Bunny Murder from the Lucy Stone series.

I wonder if the author isn't aware of all the complaints about the never-ending triangle, or if she just truly doesn't care that she's making so many readers angry enough to stop reading the books?
