Murder at the Lobstah Shack: 12/12/23
Murder at the Lobstah Shack by Maddie Day and Rachel Dulude (Narrator) (2021) is the third book in the Cozy Capers Book Group mystery series. Mackenzie “Mac” Almeida discovers the body of Annette DiCicero in the walk in freezer of the local Lobstah Shack. Tulia Peters, the shack's owner, had a contentious relationship with Annette but swears she didn't kill the woman. Mac believes her and decides to help figure out who actually did. Maddie Day is very good at seeding her stories with details. Some throw away lines always end up being crucial clues but they're presented in an organic way that they're rarely obvious. If they are obvious, there's enough else going on that the story entertains. As I've read eleven of Day's mysteries, I've gotten pretty good at recognizing the important clues. Early on I had the basic gist of what had happened but the how took until near the end. This mystery is one of unfortunate events that are dealt with poorly. The fourth book is Murder in a Cape Cottage (2022) Five stars Comments (0) |
