World-famous author Tom Cook is attending the first retreat, giving Cat high hopes her new business venture will be successful. Those hopes are dashed when Cook is murdered in his room. To save her business and its reputation, Cat finds herself on the trail of a killer. I thoroughly enjoyed this book! I couldn't put it down! The characters and plot are believable, and the story is well-written. The mystery was well-developed and engaging, with plenty of suspects, twists and turns. The two main sub-plots didn't take away from the mystery, but added to it. The book was nicely paced and spiced up with just a little bit of romance. The ending was unexpected and exciting, ending in an intriguing cliff-hanger. A Story to Kill releases August 30th! The second book in this series will follow in March 2017. Lynn Cahoon has published seven books in the Tourist Trap Mystery series, and several romance novels.

But she can’t quite wait for her uncle, the police chief, to solve the case, and so, she puts herself and others in jeopardy. Along with this main storyline is another that runs through the series. Cat’s husband seems to have had some secrets of his own that may have contributed to his demise. This mystery continues on in future books. Well written with engaging characters, this cozy is quite entertaining. Cat Latimer is an author who moves back to her hometown in Colorado after inheriting a Victorian mansion from her ex-husband. She is surprised that he never changed his will when they divorced. They were both professors at the local college, he in Economics, she in English. She renovates the house into a bed and breakfast where she will hold monthly writing retreats. When Cat finds out that Shauna, her partner, has hired her high school sweetheart, Seth, as their handyman, old emotions rise to the surface. As the first group of writers arrives for a week-long retreat, Cat is not sure whether this was a good idea or not. World-famous author Tom Cook is attending the first retreat, giving Cat high hopes her new business venture will be successful. When Cat finds Tom, dead in his room, she calls her uncle, the local police chief. What is this going to do to her new business? To save her business and its reputation, Cat finds herself investigating and following clues to find the killer. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and had a hard time putting it down! I read it in a couple of days due to interruptions. The characters and plot are believable, and the story is well-written. The mystery was well-developed and engaging, with plenty of suspects along with twists and turns. A missing person, a fake wall, and some very odd characters all add to the story. The book was well paced and spiced up with just a hint of romance. The ending was unexpected yet, fit with the story. There is an intriguing cliff-hanger that makes me happy I have the second book ready to go. If you enjoy a good mystery that is not gory, pick this one up, even if you don't normally read cozy mysteries. You won't be disappointed. sem crÃticas | adicionar uma crÃtica
