Harlow is making custom aprons for each of the members of the local Red Hat Society, and the morning after delivering her first apron, she finds their leader dead in a cemetery, a victim of murder. The victim's sister, knowing Harlow is, to paraphrase, 'good at solving these things' asked her to 'investigate'.
Now, this is a general rant about cozies and not specific to this one: but if we're already suspending disbelief enough to read a cozy mystery, can we just dispense with the acknowledgement that said amateur sleuth seems to solve a lot of murders? I hate when the author feels like they need to include the "request" that includes the whole acknowledgment of past capers. It just feels stupid to me. /rant over
I love the characters and love Harlow and Will together. The author just writes people you want to be friends with. But I lost patience with the number of times Ms. Bourbon felt the need to summarise the plot and the suspects and the evidence for/against their guilt. This took place at least 4 times (possibly 6) from beginning to end and the repetition drove me nuts. She also had a character (Georgia) who wan't in a scene contributing dialog to it.
Finally, I knew who the murderer was from almost the very beginning; page 158 confirmed it, which was just past 50%. It was so obvious, in fact, that I kept thinking I must be wrong - it was too obvious.
Oh well, I enjoyed visiting Bliss and catching up with the characters. Not every series entry is a winner, and I'll still happily look out for the next one. ( )
