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

A Holiday Homicide | Ellie Alexander

pick

Yup…. another event and another murder. She really could be a serial killer in plain sight in theory…. but a fun event idea, engaging primary mystery and more clues for the secondary mystery thread that runs through each of the books. Still a pick but i would definitely avoid her events…

Death at the Dinner Party | Ellie Alexander

pick

The third book and third event- I‘m not sure i would risk going to these events though… they are plagued by murders…. I like the story and the mystery and the characters- but i think the murders should occur outside the events she coordinates…

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. 1w

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. 🫠 1w

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. 1w

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. 🙃 1w
