I actually did not figure out this murder mystery until much later. This time a member of the book club is found dead outside the library during the meeting of the book club. Missy's good friend is accused and it doesn't look good for Noreen as all evidence points to her. Missy has to find the real murderer and fast. Once again she comes in contact with her old (now married sweetheart). I just love this fun read As a reader of many cozy mysteries, I have to say this series is quite enjoyable. The main character Missy is all heart with some spunk and a whole lot of savy. She involves herself in investigating crimes to help loved ones be removed from the suspect list while sometimes butting heads with her ex high school crush who happens to be the officer in charge. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

This is the second book in the series, and since these are easy, quick reads, I wanted to continue. What I was bothered with was the fact that after Missy finds out Noreen slept with Ty -- even though the two were broken up at the time -- Missy just forgave her. Didn't Noreen know how Missy felt about Ty? Of course she did -- and still made the decision to date him. Really? Best friends do NOT do that to each other. I would have not helped Noreen, ghosted Ty, and written them both off. No one needs friends like this. A good friend cares about your feelings. Sorry, but that seemed off.
The second thing was I really didn't think that the police had enough to charge Noreen, and trials don't work that fast. Sometimes it takes months to get into a courtroom. So she still should have been sitting in jail. Sorry, that didn't ring true, either. (I know it's a book, but please, do research).
The fact that Missy would just leave her job to look for a killer was not right. She had the responsibility after Brett asked her, and she should have taken it seriously. It seems that she's looking at the bookstore as just a hobby instead of a job. Either you have responsibility or you don't. Period.
If Missy is bothered by her weight, she needs to stop complaining and do something about it. "Get out of the way, you whale!" Really? How big is Missy? 'Voluptuous' implies Sophia Loren, who is far from fat. So which is it? It got old after awhile.
So you can see that this was not a popular entry to the series for me. However, as the book touted repeatedly, an independently published book does have value (and I do read as many of them as those by the big name publishers) and none should be panned without thinking about it. So I have rated this accordingly.
I did like the plot line, I liked the fact that Missy is fiercely loyal to her friends, and has a good relationship with her mother. I knew who the killer was before she did, but then again, I read a lot of mysteries, so there's that. I liked the ending, and since I've started the series, I will continue to finish it. ( )
