I thought, from the first chapters, that this book will score one star, just like the first book in the series. It was pretty bad though. Reading so many similar books quickly is not helping or inspiring me, but I want to get an overdose of cozy mysteries before I move on. The crime in this story was idiotically solved. I mean the heroine went about her business by ignoring the elephant in the room... at no point did she or anyone point out that the murderer was more likely to be a man. But NO! These nincompoops had to blindly follow every lead when they could have narrowed their suspicions. I'm running out of put downs for this series. Let me try one more. Total arrant nonsense. ( )
