Valentine’s Day is one of those holidays that’s a great big tease. All those flowers and candy make you think spring is right around the corner, but because it’s still technically winter, there’s going to be snow. And murder. Because what’s love without murder?
Step into the world of amateur sleuth Allie and her trusty sidekick, Lucy, as they unravel the mystery surrounding the murder of a wealthy young mother. The victim, known for her sharp tongue and mean streak, was killed in the comfort of her own home, and it's up to Allie and Lucy to gather the clues and crack the case before the killer strikes again.
But as the clues start to add up, things get tricky. Allie finds herself tiptoeing through a maze of suspects, each with a motive for murder. From the angry neighbor to the disgruntled stepson, anyone could have done the deed.
Get ready to cuddle up with a hot cup of tea and a side of mystery, because the stakes are high, and the gossip is hot in this cozy murder mystery!
I grabbed this book the moment that it came out, so that I could enjoy a little seasonal cozy reading.
As is always the case, I really enjoyed this one. I am never good at guessing who the killer will be in a mystery, but I definitely didn't guess this one. I had already "pegged" someone else entirely (but I won't give any spoilers).
I highly recommend this series, if you're in the market for some light and enjoyable cozy reading.
Allie and Lucy were on the sleuthing job once again as they tried to figure out who did in the snooty soccer mom. Was it her husband? How about the mild-mannered teacher she got in trouble? Or maybe the neighbor she was always complaining about? Whoever did it must've had a good reason but even a grouch shouldn't be killed just for that, right? The showdown was pretty cool and Allie had another case under her belt. Can't wait to see what she gets into now that she's a grandma!
