   Books Read in 2022 (4,147) Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre.  Jean_Sexton | Mar 17, 2024 |    ) eliorajoy | Jan 24, 2023 | The mystery was ok; a little too frantic, but well done and I didn't guess the murderer. The motive was weak; plenty of other suspects had much more compelling reasons to kill the victim, which leaves the murderer's reasons feeling way too shallow. There's a lot to like, and it's not an unenjoyable read, if you'll excuse the double negatives, it's just not a great read. I enjoyed the time I spent reading it enough to keep reading it, but not enough to feel anxious about reading the next one. ( ) murderbydeath | Feb 10, 2022 | What a great book, I think the series is really hitting it’s stride with this one. A wonderful main character Violet, her eccentric sidekick Grandma Daisy, a village full of charming and quirky characters and the two best pets in crime solving fiction. Emerson a cat who comes across the dead body and Faulkner the crow who’s always spouting advice. Along with a magical bookstore in a Victorian house. “Charming Books, where the perfect book picks you. Can I help you?” I asked in a breathless voice. I love all the literary references in the book, most are from Little Woman but there are also a few others along the way. The only thing I didn’t love and why I knocked one star off was Another nice thing about this book, in a genre that seems to be almost exclusively white we have a Native American Chief of Police and an African American poet. It's great to see some diversity. Let’s hope other authors in the genre follow Flower’s lead. Cozies Reading Challenge (  ) kevn57 | Dec 8, 2021 | When a respected wine expert and author is stabbed in the back following a book signing, one of the top suspects is Violet Waverly’s friend Lacey, the estranged sister of the victim. Determined to clear her friend’s name, Violet finds no shortage of enemies to investigate — but the magical essence of her bookstore is pointing her toward Little Women and Lacey’s other sisters. Meanwhile, Violet’s friendship with the town’s police chief might be budding into something more, if her secret about the bookshop didn’t stand in between them. There’s never a dull moment in the village of Cascade Springs. And with the interesting turn of events at the end of the book, I can’t wait to see how Violet and Grandma Daisy’s lives change in the next one!
