Claire Andersen Murder for All Seasons #6
Next Stop: Murder!
APRIL SHOWERS BRING MAY MURDER!
So should read the headline of bed & breakfast proprietress and master chef Claire Andersen’s most recent newsletter. Because, on the cusp of the “merry month of May,” Claire’s feeling, well, not the merriest. Sure, her beloved old renovated Victorian inn's nested snugly in the tops of the bucolic Appalachian Mountains, but an ice-turned-snow storm this time of year? You’ve gotta be kidding me…
Or so would mutter her feisty gal pal Evelyn—who just so happens to be stuck in town and in need of a place to crash for said stormy night. As, by the way, do seven stranded tourists from a Pittsburgh-based venture dubbed “Appalachian Enchantment,” plus their unassuming charter bus driver.
Ever the gracious hostess, Claire makes quick work of the emergency—made cozy by a crackling fire in the hearth, two pots of gourmet nosh, and a festive round of cocktails. But, come morning, eight guests have become seven … when one is discovered dead. Enchantment, indeed! That’s when Claire’s real work begins.
Because it becomes quickly apparent that she, Evelyn, and the seven remaining strangers (none of whom are what they seem)—not to mention her trusty canine sidekick Rupert—are snowed in with a real-life murderer. Claire finds she had no choice but to catch them quick—before the snow thaws enough for the murderer to spring free of their collective Appalachian Entrapment … or kill anew!

Good but not great
This is the 6 th book in the series, and it was not as well crafted as the other five. It was a bit boring, and did not involve the heroine’s boyfriend or daughter. The characters in this murder mystery were rather flat and one dimensional.

A complicated tale. It kept me guessing but with so many characters I got lost. I muddled through to the end but promptly forgot "who done it".

Snowed in with murder
Imagine ten individuals stranded together with a snow storm raging outside. It could be a time for relaxation, but instead mayhem abounds. Enjoyed this book.

Too many characters. A very convoluted tale. Not as good as most of Plimp's books

An engaging read
I enjoyed reading this book. The story had a sense of intrigue since all of the guests had a hidden past that seemed to be a tad shaded.

Great stories
The characters are great fun, I was ready for another story, so sorry this was the end. So easy to get caught up in the plots.
