Title: Disappointing
Product review: This book is terrible! As a fairly new reader of the cozy/hobby mysteries I was exceedingly disappointed with this one. I have read at least a dozen others by various authors which all were enjoyable.The main character is presented as an obnoxious know-it-all who apparently feels she is the only one in the world with any intelligence. Other characters are presented as unflattering and insulting ethnic caricatures including the one non-human -- the dog! There is no logical pace or progression to actually solving a mystery... just wild theories by Carolyn whenever some connection to the victim is discovered.I'm glad I didn't begin my reading of cozy mysteries with this one or I would have sworn off the genre for good and missed some truly excellent writing by Laura Childs, Elaine Viets, Monica Ferris and Janet Evanovich.
