Krissy Hancock owns and runs Death By Coffee her and her friend Vicki's bookstore café. This is probably not the best representation of this author's work, and I would ordinarily be open to trying another installment, but I'm not sure I can face another book featuring with this protagonist. Finally, in the last couple of chapters the writing firmed up enough to piece the mystery together, and I realized I was actually into the story for the first time.Īlthough the mystery ended on a high note, with all the threads finally coming together, having to wade through all the muck to get to that point was not worth it and I still couldn’t make myself like Krissy. I got annoyed with the story by the midway mark and considered giving up on it entirely, but of course I never can seem to make myself do that, so I stuck with it. She’s full of jealousy, with a lack of self-confidence, but doesn’t mind toying with the affections of two seemingly nice men. It was too busy, too disorganized, and the main protagonist is all over the place. Unfortunately, this book was a bit of a mess. Krissy is invited by her possible love interest, Will, to a costume party, but soon after their arrival, one of the several women dressed as ‘Marilyn Monroe’ is murdered.Īfter having worked with local law enforcement previously, Krissy is asked to help contain the crowd and gets involved in the questioning of the guest, while she copes with her stalker of an ex-boyfriend and the attention of the two men she has feelings for. The cover and title of this book seemed perfect for what I was in the mood for. I’ve been keeping my eyes peeled for a light ‘fall’ or ‘Halloween’ read to feature on my blog. Death by Pumpkin Spice is a 2016 Kensington publication.
