Handbook for Homicide | Lorna Barrett

pan

Finished it, and read the sneak peek of the next book, and yup, it‘s definitely quit-the-series time. Lazy plot-manipulation, plummeting characterization, and one of my least-favorite ways to resolve a ~love triangle~. It‘s kind of a shame, because this was a really enjoyable series in the beginning, but now? Byeeeeee. ✌🏻 #booktownmysteries #handbookforhomicide #lornabarrett

Handbook for Homicide | Lorna Barrett

Once I finish this, I‘m 99% sure I won‘t continue with the series. Tricia is a judgy bitch, and her obsession with food and gaining weight is obnoxious. Not to mention, the writing is just getting bad. Although I love Mr. Everett so much, there‘s not enough of him to make this worth it. 🤷🏻‍♀️ #booktownmysteries #lornabarrett #cozymystery #handbookforhomicide

Fortifiedbybooks I struggled with this book as well, but managed to get through it and find out the reason behind Tricia's obsession with food, weight, and being judgmental. The next book, A Deadly Deletion was better, but Clause of Death was the last straw for me. I barely got through it. It's a shame, too, because this was the series that got me into Cozy Mysteries. 7d

actualdisneyprincess @Fortifiedbybooks I‘m pretty sure her obsession with food was explained in a previous book, and I thought I remembered her acknowledging it and beginning to heal from it; the characterization here seems to ignore that completely and just reverts to her worst self. I feel your disappointment, though! This was one of my favorite series until now. 🫠 7d

Fortifiedbybooks I do remember the issue coming up previously, but I feel like this book went into more detail about it, possibly for the sake of bringing social issues into the series. That was the main reason (besides the bad writing) I finally bailed. I don't want to read about social issues in my Cozy Mysteries. I want to escape from the social issues/reality LOL To me, that's the whole point of Cozies. 7d

actualdisneyprincess @Fortifiedbybooks right???? There‘s a way to touch on them without making them feel like Very Special Episodes of 80s/90s television, or holier-than-thou, savior complexes, and unfortunately…this doesn‘t do it. 🙃 7d

January BOTM picks are live!

What are we thinking?!

AmyG I skipped because I have so many books on my pile. But I would have picked Andromeda. 3mo

Sace I was torn between Andromeda and A Killing Cold and went with A Killing Cold. I think I was a little scared of the “highbrow” and “cerebral” descriptors. 3mo

bookish_wookish Im also thinking of skipping @AmyG 3mo

bookish_wookish None of them are jumping out at me! @Sace 3mo

Sace That was me last month. I skipped December. 3mo

mcipher I‘m having a hard time picking - none are jumping out at me but I‘m curious about The Book of Witches and The Dagger and the Flame (even though both are out of my comfort zone!) 6mo

bookish_wookish I was going to get that one but its young adult so i wasnt sure about it so I went with The Book of Witching. @mcipher 6mo
