Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. I hadn't read any of the previous books in the series, but I didn't really feel lost jumping in here. It was a quick read and was enjoyable. Maybe if I'd read the previous books I would have connected with the characters more. The storyline was a little light for a real mystery. Even if there are to be more books in the series, I feel the ending could have been more complete. Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. I received the first book in this series from the Early Review system and wasn't very impressed but felt that it showed promise. However having read this fourth episode in the series I don't feel that the writer or the series has progressed much. There is still too much trivial description - the preparation of every meal is minutely and unecessarily included - and the plot is vague and, even for a 'cosy' mystery hardly gripping. Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. Ellen is the owner of a tearoom that is located in a house haunted by Captain Dusenberry. She seems to discover bodies wherever she goes. I had not read the prior 3 books in this series, so it took me a little while to figure out what it was all about. An interesting little mystery, but the ending seemed a little too abrupt. I kept paging forward looking for the next chapter. I guess I'd like to see what happens next, so maybe that was the author's intent. Ellen seems to be wavering between two suitors, a cop or a local counselor. I like the addition of a little romance in the mystery. Conversation could use a little more depth, though. Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing.

HTML: Something old, something new, something dead...It's autumn in Santa Fe, and Ellen Rosings is planning her Aunt Nat's wedding at the Wisteria Tearoom. Her progress is derailed by a dead bodyâ??yes, another oneâ??that she finds in her aunt's driveway. The corpse is an artist Ellen saw that morning selling gem-handled knives at the Tesuque Pueblo Flea Market. The detective assigned to the caseâ??not, alas, the handsome, sympathetic Tony Aragonâ??is looking to Ellen to explain why the body ended up in Nat's driveway. Tony is busy on his own case and can't help. Soon the dead artist starts appearing in Ellen's dreams, holding the knife that was found beside him. He wasn't stabbed. What does it mean? Between the dreams, the looming wedding, work pressures and a tenacious case of hiccups, Ellen fears she's unraveling. Then a gem-handled knife is left embedded in Nat's door, and Ellen knows she must solve the artist's death before another crime strikes closer t Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

The ghosts and romance action plots all progress a slight step (these could be spun out for ages yet at this rate, enough time to decimate the town if the murder rate is concurrent). The tearoom remains the focus, with some new recipes thrown in as well. There's a bizarre hiccup based sub-plot, as if the author had recently suffered and managed to turn it into a story.
But the rest remains cosily fun. I enjoy this series, even though they're fluff of the highest order. ( )
