A Sweet Nothings Lingerie Mystery

review 1: I really wanted to like this book, but I didn't. I honestly felt like it was a chore to read. I skimmed through parts of the book due to the repetitiveness of the scenes/dialogue. I don't think it necessary for a sequence of events to happen and then have the characters telling what happened a page or two later. I also felt there were one or two plot elements that were dropped...perhaps the author was setting up for future plot lines? I Might read the next book to see if the plot is better developed and carried out.
review 2: In the first book in the Lingerie Mysteries by Meg London, Emma Taylor has returned to Paris, Tennessee to nurse a broken heart and also to help her Aunt Arabella with her lingerie store, Sweet Nothings. Emma is determined to use her... more skills as a stylist to breath new life into Sweet Nothings. However before she can put her plan into action her ex-boyfriend, Guy Richards, turns up to try and win her back. When Guy turns up dead inside her Aunt's store the local police force start pointing their fingers at Emma. With a fashion show to put on for Sweet Nothings' grand re-opening Emma has her hands full trying to pull it off and solve the murder as well. I do love cozy mysteries and I read a lot of them. However the more I read of them the more I'm liking those that are a little unique. Murder Unmentionable grabbed me right away with the little town of Paris, with its own miniature Eiffel Tower. Emma is a really upbeat sleuth and I liked her how she was determined not to take her sleazy ex-boyfriend back and get on with her life! She has such a positive attitude, even when faced with a police officer, who she used to date in high school and has never gotten over being dumped!!There is a lot to love in this mystery, where small town does not equal dull. The mystery was jam-packed with intrigue, as Emma and her co-horts try to solve the mystery before Emma faces jail time. I devoured Murder Unmentionable quickly (in less than 24 hours!!) and I can't wait to pick up the second book in the series, Laced with Poison. less
