Myrtle Clover, a retired schoolteacher, is irritated when the members of her book club vote to change to a supper club. The first supper club meet is a progressive dinner, where Myrtle is bored stiff. But, when a body is found during the main course, the evening gets exciting. Myrtle endeavors to find the killer before her police chief son. But, will the competition between mother and son lead to her undoing? Even though I liked this cozy murder mystery, I found it a bit slow for my taste. Sometimes, the main character reminded me of Jessica Fletcher from Murder, She Wrote. I felt a major difference was Myrtle was trying to work against her son than with him. Myrtle reminded me of a grouchy, elderly person who didn’t want to change unless she was forced to. I will read another mystery from this author.
