A Cookie Cutter Shop Mystery

review 1: Another great book from Virginia Lowell. Every time I read a book in this series I want a sugar cookie! Olivia , how does she keep finding bodies. But she does, and this time it hits close to her business and her family. Can she help her brother out of some trouble with a girl? Will her brother and this girl get together in the next book?Del, poor Del, he is always coming to the rescue of Olivia. I wonder what he needs to talk to her about? Is it their relationship or his past relationship? Are we going to see more of Cody? I hope so, all we see him is just here and there. Who knew that cookie cutters would be valuable item? If a cookie cutter is made of tin, why couldn't they pull finger prints off of it?
review 2: Synopsis (from BN.com): On a stormy night, O... morelivia Greyson and her Yorkie discover the body of a man stabbed to death-which looks suspiciously like the intruder seen fleeing the local health food store The Vegetable Plate. Charlene Critch, owner of The Vegetable Plate, has a grudge against Olivia’s cookie cutter shop, but could Charlene be hiding a secret serious enough to kill for?My thoughts: This is the second installment of Virginia Lowell’s Cookie Cutter Shop Mystery Series. I have to admit that I had a rather difficult time getting through this book. I am not sure exactly why as I love my cozies and usually fly through them. Perhaps it was simply because I got distracted by other things going on and ended up taking a long time to read this book. In fact, I ended up putting this book down for awhile, reading other things and then getting back to it – which I never do. Anyway, I felt the storyline dragged quite a bit and I don’t quite really connect to the characters as well as I do in some of my other favorite cozy mystery series. This book was alright, but certainly nothing special. I will give her 3rd book in the series which just came out a try and see if it was just me. Wish I had better things to say, but these things happen less
