Sloane Templeton Mysteries
review 1: Bonnie Calhoun writes a delightful novel filled with real people and real life. Sloane Templeton has inherited a book store with a zany manager. Calhoun's characters are a hoot! An example: the group of wacky senior citizens that meets in her bookstore but they don't read the books. When Sloane receives life-threatening messages on her computer the police become involved and Sloane tries to keep the incident a secret, which is impossible. With each page you wonder what will happen next to complicate Sloane's life. Calhoun writes thick tension but breaks it up with her lovable characters and their zany ways. The reader knows the criminal threat is dangerous, but enough laugh out loud moments keep the story from dragging. There is no sagging middle to this story. Highly reco... moremmended.
review 2: Cooking the Books had a lot of things going on! The main character was involved in several different conflicts regarding her deceased mom's bookstore. The cast of characters was just a little undeveloped for my taste, but maybe leaving me wanting to know more about them is a ploy to tease me into reading further books? These characters would easily carry into a series of books that I would likely read. less

A quirky little cozy mystery with some unforgettable characters. A fun little read.

A good mystery but way too much of Sloan's angst and gangster lingo for my taste.
