About this deal

A good ending is essential in any mystery or crime thriller: it should ease up on tension, answer questions, and tidy up loose ends. Does the ending accomplish those goals? On the flip side, The Book Club Murders is a lot steamier than most cozy mysteries I’ve read – a genre that can be typically trusted to be “clean fiction”. Prevalent – and strong – profanity also proved disappointing to me in this one; again, not something I am used to finding in a cozy mystery. The intimate scenes weren’t explicit enough to be offensive, but the language crossed my own personal level of tolerance. Charley Carpenter had an upscale used clothing shop and had joined an exclusive mystery book club to get to know some of the wealthy women in the area and drop hints for them to shop at her store. When someone started killing women who had a connection to the book club, it was scary. Would the killer stop at that or would they start targeting the actual members? Charley and police detective Marc Trenault had to work with little time on their side when the police chief said he would have to turn the case over to the prosecution. Charley was determined to face down this killer...and hopefully survive.

[10] Sequels [ edit ] Much as I love to read about grisly murders and psychological drama, every now and again, my head needs a break and I look for something on the lighter side. When I saw the description of this cozy mystery - the first of a series - it sounded great on several levels. As the title suggests, it's centered around books and a group of rather stuffy women who get together to read and discuss mysteries as part of the Agathas Book Club - and as an avid reader of that genre, it couldn't be more perfect. Adding to the appeal is that the book is set in Oakwood, Ohio - a Dayton suburb quite familiar to me for the first 18 years of my life as I grew up on a farm perhaps 45 minutes away. I didn't hesitate to request an advance copy in exchange for an honest review, and I was elated when that request was approved.Amy is craving red meat during her pregnancy.

I always enjoy getting in on the ground floor of a new series and this one gets off to a great start. As soon as I saw this series involved a mystery book club, I knew I would have fun with it and I did. Maggie pulled out a chocolate sponge cake to serve the police, who came to question her. She sent the cake with the police to the police station. Is this something you would do?
