While Hannah tries to deal with the double marriage proposals from Mike and Norman, a Hollywood production company comes to town. However, the director is a jerk, and he is murdered by a rigged prop gun. This is another fun book, although it was slow getting started.

You've got to try the title recipe. It's wonderful!

When Abby Knight's car is damaged by a hit and run driver, she is outraged. Her outrage only grows when she thinks there is a connection with a nearby murder. The quirky characters are lots of fun, and I can't wait to visit them again. However, the plot needed a little more ironing out to truly work.

When Mark hears a gunshot at a neighbor's house, he investigates to find two dead bodies who have been dead for more than a couple of minutes. He's certain the killer is the person with the perfect alibi. Can he prove it? Lots of twists and turns with characters who live up to their TV show persona. Another great read.

In a town devoted to bookstores, Tricia Miles owns the mystery bookstore. When her neighbor, owner of the cook book store, is found murdered, Tricia jumps in to find out who did it. The book was entertaining with interesting characters, but the story was a little weak. I do plan to give the series a second chance.

With Sherry out of town on her honeymoon, Cora will have to be pretty creative to solve the latest crossword related murder spree and keep her secret intact. I was happy to see that the character interactions that had grown beyond stale were revitalized here. I hope that continues with the next book in the series.

Presley Parker's latest party is a wine tasting in the beautiful Napa Valley. But murder follows her when a despised environmental crusader is found murdered after the party. Convinced the cops have the wrong killer, she starts investigating. I find these books fun. The plot was a bit uneven, but overall an enjoyable read.

Fatality by Firelight sucked me right in from page one. Cat’s Victorian home is the perfect cozy setting for a writer’s retreat. When one of her guests is suspected of murder, she has to play detective as well as hostess. Fatality by Firelight is full of romance, good food, and plenty of suspects.

As the pulses finally draw to a close, 13 year old Beth Branning witnesses a murder. If she keeps quiet, will she be safe? This is the fourth book in a series I have enjoyed, but this one tried to cram too much into the pages. As a result, it wasn't as good as it should have been.

Great read
I personally really enjoyed this book, I was instantly hooked into the story line, solver a murder that happened years before...
I really liked the main character Kim stone, giving us great details of why this case meant so much because of her awful past, and how strong of a woman she is now, this story is very fast paced and keeps you interested constantly and guessing who done it and will they be found out.

This was truly a work of art. Between the fact it's a childrens movie, and how much they put in it. It's one you just have to buy. I mean if you think about it, it all started with a revenge murder plot! And ends with a cat and happy family. I think we can all agree the lever part is all of our favoritesa though.
