I’ve enjoyed some books in this series but am finding that the main character is especially irritating and annoying in this book. Perhaps I’ve reached my limit. I can hardly stand the protagonist in this one. Interfering and self-absorbed. Is this doesn’t improve, I may do something I seldom do - return the book without finishing. Finished it finally. Meh.
Lacey gets involved with a young girl who is opening a B&B at the Lodge, much to the consternation of Carol, the owner of the existing B&B. Suzy asks Lacey to help her decorate the place, buy the furniture, etc. They decide on a Victorian hunting lodge theme because of an antique gun that Lacey has received, and gives to Suzy to hang on the wall. There is a grand opening complete with fireworks and a DJ, but when the lights go out, someone is murdered and Suzy is holding the gun. As usual Lacey
I enjoy the characters and setting of the books in this series. The plots are pretty good. It’s a pleasant way to pass the time while staying home during the pandemic. You need to forgive a lot when reading this series. For example, a great designer could not decorate and furnish an inn in a week. I can’t tell if Fiona Grace is an American who doesn’t fully understand how the English speak, or is British and doesn’t understand how Americans speak. Lacey’s speech just doesn’t seem right somehow.
I have read the previous two novels in the cozy mystery series but I must say this one, The Crime In The Café, is my favorite. Book three opens up with the little tourist town getting ready for an annual event and after the Mayor rezones some areas old buildings open up for new business. With one B&B and small hotel needing all the summer business they can handle, they are understandably hurt when someone young opens a new B&B style Hunting Lodge using the silver spoon in her mouth. Lacey bust h...
A Yankee in WilfordshireThis is the first book I have read by this author, and I enjoyed it immensely. Even though I had read no other books in this series, I didn't feel lost, though I imagine I would appreciate more of the heroine's backstory if I had read the other two. This book starts off a little slow, but then things begin to ramping up. I definitely thought the theme of our heroine as an outsider, an American living in a small English seaside town, was well played and an interesting twis...
Lacey just keeps stumbling over dead bodies. What's more surprising is that there is so much action in the small English town she has recently come to call home. In this new saga, Suzy has recently arrived in town to start up a new B&B much to the dismay of many in the town. Lacey is convinced to help her decorate the place to match her chosen Victorian theme. In the midst of the preparation, the town mayor is shot and both Lacey and Suzy are suspected. Lacey (with the help of her chef boyfriend...
Honestly, these books are junk, but I can’t stop listening to them. I don’t know why! The stories are ridiculous. The main character is annoyingly whiney and overthinks everything. The fact that she always “has to” find out who did it otherwise her life will be ruined is just stupid. The narrators are AWFUL. Why do I keep listening? I don’t know. Thank goodness they’re free on Hoopla.
I prefer my cozy mysteries to be at least somewhat plausible, but the content of this book verges on fantasy. Lacey willingly takes on a huge project of interior decorator for a retirement home turned into a B&B. She supposedly accomplishes this feat in a matter of days, including renovation as well as furnishings. This strains credulity to the limit. As well, her character has really become whiny with relationship complaints magically all resolved at the end without directly engaging her partne...
