  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.

  5. 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 s [...]

  7. I ve been a fan of this series and am sorry to see it end Paper thin Alibi leaves the characters in a good place, though, and while I d like to read further adventures with them I also don t feel left hanging.The author, Mary Ellen Hughes, has created three dimensional characters who have very interesting lives The mystery in Paper thin Alibi was intriguing, but the side stories were just as absorbing I finished this book feeling very satisfied I look forward to future books by Hughes.

  8. I think I m liking the series better as I read I still don t LOVE it, but I ll totally read when I find them I did call who the killer was in this one VAGUE SPOILER Though, maybe only because I d just read the last one and that person seemed to be a similar type of person the way other people responded to them.

  9. I love cozy mysteries, and have read a lot of them They usually aren t high intrigue but you usually also can t guess who the killer is right away This one I figured it out right when I met the character Quarter of the way in Plus I like my mysteries to have a bit humour Not sure if I would read in this series again.

  10. Craft store owner Jo meets Linda, an old foe at a prestigious show When Linda dies, Jo becomes a suspect, which is bad for business, to say the least Jo plans to ask her significant other Russ, a policeman, for help, but he is injured in an unrelated event, so it s Jo and her crafters to the fore.

  12. I think I prefer the cozies that stick to one type of craft They make you want to look into that specialization I figured out whodunit ling before they revealed the culprit but it was of a gut feeling than anything specific.
