Jill, along with several others of the town, are involved with a dinner/mystery play. And she is right there at a rehearsal when another actor finds a very dead body on the stage. A person of interest turns out to be Sherry, the deceased’s girlfriend and the ex-wife of Jill’s detective boyfriend. Could things get anymore complicated? Sure they can, when Sherry’s BBF asks Jill to prove Sherry’s innocence. Jill is up for it, if only to satisfy her own curiosity. The mystery is a pretty good one, but is somewhat overshadowed by the interactions of these delightful characters. Aunt Jackie is up to some of her own shenanigans, and Josh, her would-be beau, is fearful for her safety. Jill is doing some of her own underhanded detective work. And Greg is trying to solve the murder in his proper cop way. It’s an entertaining time, if murder in a tourist town can be said to be entertaining. ( )

Small town, romance, food, and murder everything you need to enjoy the book. ( )

The fourth book in the Tourist Trap mystery series, Dressed To Kill finds bookstore owner and part time sleuth Jill helping her police detective boyfriend Greg track down who killed a prominent banker and why. Along the way, Jill has to deal with Greg's rancorous ex-wife, Sherry trying to worm her way under her skin at every turn.

This was a thoroughly enjoyable mystery full of red herrings, plot twists and, of course, hunky cops. I admit that I didn't know who did it, even as it was being revealed.

It's always fun to visit South Cove and its quirky citizens, from the eccentric Esmeralda to the crotchety Lille. The characters are all likeable, and the dialogue is realistic and draws you into both the story and the town. I could definitely see myself at CBM curled up with a mystery and a slice of cheesecake. (Why don't more bookstores serve cheesecake?)

Overall, Dressed To Kill is a fun and enjoyable book that deftly combines mystery, suspense, a little romance, and cheesecake.

I enjoyed a previous book in Cahoon's Tourist Trap series, and despite jumping ahead a little in the series I found this book to be another enjoyable read. Jill is such an entertaining character, and I enjoyed seeing how she handled her latest adventure since she had to deal with Sherry, Greg's ex. Cahoon did a great job at giving Jill inner turmoil with having to deal with Sherry as well as having her aunt involved in a situation of her own. The book is full of enough twists and turns to keep the reader engaged. I also really enjoy Cahoon's South Cove which is a great setting that makes the reader want to visit again and again with each adventure. Overall Dressed to Kill was a great read that I would most definitely recommend. I look forward to reading Jill's next adventure.

Received a copy of Dressed to Kill through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. ( )
