Dinner and a Murder (Nikki Hunter Mysteries, #3) door Nancy Skopin
This was not as fun as I expected. I prefer more humour in my quick read mystery books. Also, 75% of the book was about evaluating restaurant staff and rescuing dogs. I like both topics, but not when they get in the way of a good murder story
Nina reminded me of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo ... This book has got to be the best of the Nikki Hunter series
I was glad that Nina was back, but the actual plot of this book was a poor excuse for ending the Nina story. I think the author should have just added the Nina content to the previous book and kept it at that. It felt that nothing else was happening except some very LONG scenes evaluating bars and restaurants while waiting for Nina to do something. This was a disappointing read.
Now this is better than the 7th book - more murder investigation and less restaurant reviews.
However, I found some things inconsistent and others just too convenient. After having that 'really bad feeling' and receiving a call from her mentor Sam requesting help - why couldn't Nikki put two and two together sooner about his death? I mean, the reader could guess it almost immediately. Also, she had only two suspects throughout the entire case, and it was just a matter of sending photos and fingerprints off to her friend Michael who is conveniently a computer wizz to give her the go ahead nod. That's not much sleuthing, if you ask me.
The ending was I think my favourite part - Nina is back!… (meer)
