I've read some pretty craptastic cozy mysteries over the past several years. When the author sent this book in with a review request, I let it sit for quite a while. I just couldn't wrap my head around how it wasn't going to make me groan and gouge my eyes out with a spoon.I was sitting around one day looking for something mindless to read because I'd just finished reading a heavy book and needed something light and easy. I thought "okay, why not".Oh, boy.This was NOT what I was expecting at all. It actually had a decent plot, a good little mystery with plenty of twists. Yes, you'll pick the ending out pretty quickly, but does it really matter? It's kind of like Psycho meets Mary Kay, but in a good kind of way.The writing was decent, there were a few sections that went on a little bit too long, but overall the author does a great job of moving the story forward and keeping you interested and entertained. It's not going to win a heavy literature award any time soon, but that's not why I read this book. It delivered exactly what it promised.I also liked the cover. Yes, I judge books by their covers.Definitely recommended for cozy mystery readers. You'll figure out the whodunnit, but it won't matter.
