A Google read
Another good mystery. I read one of her mysteries last year or the year before and was thrilled when I recognized her name as the author of these books. It's so much better to read a mystery that is well written and well thought out so it doesn't have to contain smut to get readers' attention. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good mystery.

The story is lacking. I like the characters and this had the potential to be a great book.

A stalker, a poisoning and a kidnapping
A good read. Disappointed that it was only 88% of the page count. A plot of a stalker that gets increasingly more violent and determined as the story unfolds. The characters are getting more evolved and fleshed out. But frankly her sister and mother are starting to annoy me - they did not have to move in with Stormi. It was their choice (she wasn't even asked) and they are not paying anything for their upkeep. Thus leaving her with all the bills for five people.
When emails start appearing telling her that she has to hurry up with the next book. She ignores. The emails get more regular and a stalker starts following her around town. The police have managed to find the locations from where the emails where sent but both are public places. Add in a car accident, the house being bugged a poisoning, a shooting, threats and break-ins. Will her plan regarding the novella work and draw out the stalker before they kill someone?
A look at the enrol breakdown some people go through when they reach their breaking point.

Life has settled down for Stormi...or has it?
I gotta say how much I'm enjoying Stormi and her crazy clan in the Nosy Neighbor Mystery series. They are cozy style mysteries, with just a touch of faith, and they are just so much fun to read, or as in the case of A Killer Plot listen to. Cynthia Hickey has a real winner in this quirky series! There's mystery, romance, and enough tasty sounding edibles that you can enjoy calorie free but still make you hungry anyway. I had a great time trying to guess the stalker's identity, I did partly figure it out but there were enough red herrings to keep me cheerfully distracted.
I listened to the audiobook version of A Killer Plot and I have to say that the production and sound quality and a well chosen narrator did perfect justice to Cynthia Hickey's book.
I sincerely enjoyed A Killer Plot and I am more than anxiously looking forward to getting my mitts on the next book in Cynthia Hickey's fun A Nosy Neighbor Mystery series.

Love this series
First and foremost, I'm so excited that you mention God in your books. It is so refreshing and makes me happy. You use such interesting and original ideas. I love the characters too. They are endearing and have wonderful personalities. Thank you for writing this series. I have to go read the 3rd book now! God bless! Janet😃

I love the characters in the book and was hoping that Matt and Stormi would develop their relationship more in this book. But they didn't. I understand it is a Christian novel, but Stormi's mom is kind of annoying not even wanting them in the same room together. For goodness sake they are grown.
Over all the book was a slow read for me. It took a bit to get into it and then when the plot picked up towards the middle, it seemed to be lacking some creativity at the end.
