Melissa M. (MemoRandom) reviewed on 8/8/2018 + 78 more book reviews

As I plodded through this book, I had much in the way of negative commentary for a book review I was composing in my head. Then I read the last 8 pages and I was very touched by the ending. The beginning was very well done also. It was everything in between that slowed me down. Just too much "cozy" for my taste - I'm sure that's what it was. I perceived it as too much detail of the humdrum of life, such as the protagonist's children and her mother-in-law and her husband's committee work at school, for pete's sake. I think the author was laying ground for a book series, but it just made me want to pull my hair out. And then I ran smack into a beautiful ending, but could still give this book no more than 3 stars. The author has published one more Andy Gammon mystery.
