I love my visits to the Charming Moose and visiting with everyone. I love Victoria and Moose. I wish we saw a little more of their spouses and really when are we going to meet Victoria's Dad?
The story line had a lot of twists and turns and a few laughs as well. I really enjoy the interaction between Moose and Victoria.
A really good read.

This is one where the victim had many people who would want to kill him. These types of characters we are glad they got their just desserts!
Enjoy!

Great Read!

[Elizabeth · Rating 3 out of 5]

This one, while still good, was a lot more predictable than the last two. I was pretty confident in who the murderer would be very early on, but still an enjoyable read.

A fun series with enjoyable characters and tight family bonds. The relationship with Victoria and her grandfather Moose is endearing. Interesting mystery.

Book 3

[Vicky · Rating 2 out of 5]

I am only 27 ages into this book and already regretting picking it up. A man dies at the Bicentennial celebration and automatically it is assumed to be murder. And of course Victoria has strong ties (again) to the victim.

Too much filler. No substance. this was written by a New York times best-selling author? Victoria is portrayed as intelligent and a step ahead of everyone else and her grandfather is a bumbling "Moose".

Unfotunately I have 3 more of these books in the series to read.....

Another entertaining entry in the "Classic Diner" cozy series.

I'm enjoying the grandfather/granddaughter combination for sleuthing although at times their manner of investigation just makes me cringe.

[Cathy Hendren]

Very much following a pattern. I would like to see things switched up. I still enjoyed the book and the recipes.

Her books get better and better. There's also humour as well as mystery.
Great read.
