review 1: Good cozy. Very likable character with a solid head on her shoulders. Very little flitting about, maybe even a little too much worrying go on in her inner narrative for me at this time of year when my own worries are so present. She is still fairly new in her town and getting her life in order so her friendships are not so deep that conversations and back and forth are second nature to her - that tentative feeling in the book felt nice. It had a fresh feeling to it.I did find the trail of the murder suspects fun to follow. In this book her investigator boyfriend was stuck in the hospital following a gunshot wound from an unrelated case so she had to do all of the digging herself (without him nagging her to 'stay out of it') so that gave the book a different tone which... more I enjoyed. I had a fairly good idea of who she should be tracking but there was enough doubt in my mind to keep me interested in the storyline.The final chapters were very satisfying and there was enough tension to keep me awake long past what I thought was good for a 'school night' so I'm happy to have finished off the rest of this series @ our biblio. I'll keep this on my list of series that I'd like to delve into again, if possible, but I didn't love it so much that I'm pining for more time at this craft shop. Good but not great.
review 2: These cozy mysteries make a nice escape from reality for me, and they are light reading. After being an English major and having so many classic novels and things that I had to read, it's nice to just shake it up and read silly things.This book was really well written, with nice characters, and a decent plotline. I enjoyed it a great deal and recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good mystery and light read. less
