Murder by Death

I read cozy and historical mysteries, a bit of Paranormal/UF, and to mix it up, I read science and gardening books on occasion.

A Deadly Grind (Vintage Kitchen Mystery #1)

A Deadly Grind - Victoria Hamilton

I had been looking forward to this book coming out for a couple of months, as I do love vintage kitchenware and murder mysteries. But I only gave this book three stars because I didn't get really immersed in the story as I normally do.  I can't say if I thought the book was very good or not, as my disjointed reading made the story feel disjointed.

 

Things I liked: I love the vintage kitchenware angle, as I really enjoy this subject.  A few quirky likeable characters stood out, and I'm looking forward to hearing more from them in the future.

 

Things I didn't like: A bossy older sister.  The hints of a love triangle - cozy mysteries have seen *more* than enough of these and they almost never, ever end up being enjoyable for the reader.

 

Even though I kept getting interrupted while reading this book, I nailed one of the bad guys right away, but the twist at the end was a clever touch.
