The book title is listed above...this book is actually one of a sub genre of a type called cozy mysteries...I have pretty much just discovered them recently, and I a have covered a lot of ground recently! I love them.
This one is the sixth in a series, that I actually read first, so now I will have to go back and read the rest...The series features a CPA, caffeine addict, and beginning knitter named Kelly Flynne. This one is set during the Christmas season and apparently Kelly has promised her friends to stay away from sleuthing for a while after narrowly escaping injury in the past...The setting is a lovely town and Kelly and her friends take on the local teenager and the Christmas play while trying to solve the mystery of who might be the hit and run driver that killed the local librarian. Could it really be Claudia? The woman is well liked, but her former stepdaughter is determined to prove that Claudia was responsible for her last husband's death and so the pot thickens...
This was a very enjoyable read as Kelly and her friends celebrate the season and Maggie Sefton manages to keep us guessing as she infuses the story with good humor and friendship, romance and good odl fashioned hometown Christmas.
Enjoy and Stay Pink!
What exactly is a cozy mystery? I'm unclear about it.
ReplyDeleteHave you ever read Clive Cussler? I really like his writing and am looking for an author who is similar.
I just read your comment on bodacious boomer's blog. Our dog Lulu (a Cairn Terrier who has gone to Doggie Heaven) used to be a *trasher*. Let me just say that you MUST nip that behavior in the bud IMMEDIATELY! She gave us misery for 15 years & we always had to keep the trash cans on the counters. It was miserable! If I'd only punished her like I did when she ate my new Sesto Meucci sandals, she would have been perfect....
