Customer Reviews

Interesting characters and a good solid cozy

I enjoyed reading about Ben and his quirky family, and the atmosphere is true to small town life. In a cozy, the murder is almost secondary and the people and the place are first. The hints were strong enough that my suspicions turned out to be correct, though. Ben did lose his temper a little, but considering the circumstances, I thought it was in character. It was also interesting to see the relationship shift in the Ben-Diana-Kelly triangle. I'm not certain the happy ending is sewn up in that regard, though. It could be very interesting to see Ben getting to know Annie and winning her over, if possible. The soap making tips are a fun part of this series, too. Looking forward to reading more of these, if he writes them.

gotta read this one!

This is a continuation in a series and a definite must have for the avid reader of Tim Myers. He keeps you in suspense right to the end and keeps you entertained all throughout. Can't wait for his next book!
