I, like you, usually only buy new authors when they're offered at a very low price.

I like books to END, not trail off into the beginning of the next one. I don't mind a little foreshadowing, but cliffhangers, unless movie serials or books in duololgies or trilogies that I know going in with have a certain number of books to tell the story, put me off. Still, I love characters like this.Rick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07978136287154214297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-49483190026409305062016-06-03T11:03:00.317-04:002016-06-03T11:03:00.317-04:00I read this a couple of years ago - found it when ...I read this a couple of years ago - found it when I was searching for inexpensive Kindle content for a "bee" themed reading month. <br /><br />I agree that "cozy on steroids" is an appropriate description, but I didn't care for Abigail. Her house & friendships sounded contrived, and she seemed to be being rough-edged for the sake of being so. Plus, I didn't think the mystery was that big of a deal. <br /><br />Oh, well, something for everybody :-)Debbie Rodgershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15630059470408161434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3185294584889963228.post-80883975488015608662016-06-03T07:16:22.409-04:002016-06-03T07:16:22.409-04:00Yvette, I picked this up a long time ago for free ...Yvette, I picked this up a long time ago for free on Kindle.
