Great cozy mystery

This was the first book I read in this series. I am so glad I chose it. I can't wait to read the rest of the series!! The characters are well rounded and colorful. The setting gives a quaint homey small-town feeling. The storyline is interesting, fast-paced, and full of twists and turns. Just when I thought I had it figured out, something else would come to light proving my suspicion wrong!

This series at the core is about a strong family that always sticks together no matter what. I enjoyed the misdirection of mystery in this one. Fun grandfather/granddaughter sleuthing team. A solid series

The writing has improved somewhat in this entry in the series. Still not loving it though.

Another great read! Was a bit surprised at the ending though!

Pretty good book. Their interfering ways do seem more than a bit annoying to me. I don't think I'd like them if they were real people but I kind of like them as characters in this book. I anticipated the murderer quite early on not a lot of mystery or suspense in this one

As always I enjoyed this book. Cute series but I think that I'm more hooked on the cupcake series.

Way too much cream and sugar, not enough caffeine. No buzz in this book #5 of the classic diner series.

[Jeanie Harper · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a really good book - revenge of the right kind but illegal.

[Rebecca · Rating 1 out of 5]

This book is pure cheese. The main character and her grandpa Moose were SO annoying. The ending was terrible, ok I'll just confess I'm the murderer.
