Glazed Murder: A Donut Shop Mystery (Donut Shop Mysteries)

I’m not sure I’d read any more in this series – the writing felt very stiff and earnest, even though I could see that she was trying to write characters that weren’t. The only time the writing felt natural to me was in the dialog between her and her mother – I really liked seeing the mother/daughter relationship portrayed with mutual affection and equal sniping. 🙂 Her reasons for ‘investigating’ felt forced though and in the end it was a book I had to labor through.

I Scream, You Scream (Mystery a la Mode Series #1)

A light, quick read, this is one of those series I think I might like more with each book. The plot was a little bit disjointed, but ultimately, interesting. I just had to get to the end before realizing it.

 

I sort of suspected who done it, but not why, early on in the book. The characters were well written, and I liked Bree and Alice – they lent humour and color to the story. I’m looking forward to forward momentum with Finn as well.

 

Overall, a good story, and I’m looking forward to reading the next one.
