Pretty good read, good characters, not much suspense.

[Brooke Blogs · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really enjoyed reading this story. The setting was perfect. It was nice to be back with the characters that I enjoyed from the first book in the Classical Trio series. In this book, Liz is the target for a family heirloom brooch. Her ex-fiance, Tim, a deputy, is doing his best to protect her and reveal a killer before it's too late.

The suspense and romance worked well together. I already have the third book requested to enjoy.

I checked this book out of the library and am voluntarily sharing my honest review.

Fantastic. With every book Virginia Smith writes, she gets better and better. I read this book in 2 sittings so be advised.
I have never been on a pair of skis but the younger me would have tried anything. I have watched a lot of sking on tv so could envision this book as I read it. The break in at Liz's apartment and then they go from Kentucky to Eagle Summit for her cousin's wedding and the attacks upon her and break ins did not stop. I am not going to give away what the killer and people were after. This story traces all the way back to British rule and a great-great-great-great-grandmother. The tradition at the wedding was never fully understood but just passed on from one generation to another.
I really loved how Liz and Tim were looking for the mate God had for them and sometimes events can cause one to have cold feet. Yet love will eventually win out.
One holds their breath when Liz is captured hoping and praying that Tim can save her in time.
Virginia has lots of twists and events in this story and it holds your attention from beginning to end.

This wasn't the book I intended to read next, but Taste of Murder was so compelling that I wanted to read the second book in the series right away. This series is filled with suspense and faith.

The 2nd book in this series was a good as the first.

It was a love story that ended 3 years before in a bad way, a little different then alot of books.

The 1st book in the series was good too.

This one had a surprise or two long the way. Interesting premise although it seemed a bit over the top at times. Liked the book.

In this second book of the musical trio,the girls head to Utah to play in Liz's cousin's wedding. But before they get to comfortable, they once again find themselves in the middle of a murder investigation. The crime seems to center around a brooch that Liz has in her possession - quite by accident. Liz is horrified when she must work with her ex-fiance, whom she left for another young man.

I had no idea where this one was going to end up - and that's half the battle when the author writes a mystery. I was entertained because I didn't know who! The author really kept me going to the very end of this book! Kudos!

What an excellent, fun book to enjoy reading after a grueling summer of grad school brain-torment! I love Ms. Smith's interesting plotting and inventive scenarios. Her characters feel so real and the dialogue is fun and refreshing. I especially enjoyed this one, since it took place not far from me - in Park City, Utah. I think her writing style raises the bar for writers of the "Love Inspired Suspense" genre. Absolutely!

[Aubrie · Rating 3 out of 5]

I really liked this book. The setting is in Park City, Utah so that was fun to be familiar with the setting. It is a little predictable but overall it was a good read.

Loved it. And I love the setting.
