Ivy Bloom is back! The TV renovation show Nailing It!, and its crew of diva designers has come to town. Ivy has no time for TV. She is trying to run her bookstore and train for a mini-triathlon to raise money for a good cause, and break her addiction to bagels. When her best intentions lead to the discovery of a dead bank president she has to interfere with...uh, help Detective Drake Jordan bring the killer to justice.
"Snakes & Snails and Deadly Cattails" is a short, fun read with only one small problem - just as in the first book the murder solves itself. ATV show has come to film Hydrangea Bay, Cape Cod. They're doing a lot of business with the local bank though multiple and confusing accounts. Then Ivy find the body of the bank President - it's murder! Author Caryn Thomas Mitchell has a talent for writing - I really like her style. It's just a pity that the mystery element falls very short of being satisfying. 3 solid Stars.
The book was ok but not a real page turner. Was a good length to read just before bed. Will look for more by this author for quick reads that do not require much concentration.
Another cute entry in this series of books. Ivy helps to solve another crime in the small town where she lives. A reality TV production crew comes to town and the local banker is murdered. Looking forward to the next book in this series.
