Customer Reviews

Relaxing mystery

I have read all three books in this series and personally enjoyed the other two more, but this book is a vital part of the series. There were times I felt that the writer repeated things over and over and over, but I know that when I have a problem in my life, the situation is always on my mind as was the case with the main character. So in that respect the character is very believable.

Really funny

This was a fun book to read. No beauty queen with a gorgeous figure here. Just regular folks with everyday problems. Yes the main character does go one quite a bit about her husband and son-in-law leaving them ill provided for. And perhaps she does obsess about her writer's block, but it is still a funny book. A nice change from the run of the mill mushy Christian romance novel.

Fun stuff

The Morning Shade Mysteries are a chick-lit version of the Mitford series. While billed as mysteries, they're really slice-of-life books with a light, no-harm-done mystery woven through it all. Maude, who's first person narrative marks every other chapter, is a wonderful, realistic woman stuggling with money, her mother in law, and faith. Despite being in a completely different period of life, I really identified with Maude like I haven't with the too-sweet heroines of Christian romance. If you prefer plot-driven books then pass this by, it's not what you're looking for. However if you're in the mood for a light character-driven book that will cause you to laugh, sympathize, and cause you to think about your own daily existance, then pick up this book. You'll like it!
