Welcome to Litsy!

This was my #bookspin for February and I slogged through it. Partly I had a lot going on, and partly I just want invested in the story. I didn't care about dog shows or bridge so 🤷🏻‍♀️. Also, I figured out the murderer and twist about 3/4 the way through so the big reveal was ho hum for me. This is a spin-off from the author's other mystery series, which was referenced several times. Hopefully she's better at plot in her other books.

Laurian Berernson is the author of nearly 30 Melanie Travis cozy mysteries. Peg is Melanie's aunt and Peg and Rose Solve a Murder is the 1st in the spinoff series Senior Sleuth Mysteries. Peg and Rose are sister in laws and are much like the "odd couple". But when one of their bridge club members is murdered, the two set their differences aside and team up for an entertaining round of senior sleuthing. A fun and easy reading cozy mystery ??

Delightful

This is a spin off from a long running series. Maybe if I had read the series, I‘d find some redeeming quality in this book. Alas, I did not. I couldn‘t make myself care what happened. I hate giving books bad reviews, especially since I was given this as an ARC by the publisher, but it was dull.

Peg and Rose Solve A Murder was a darling little read and has set this series off to a fine start.

Finally we‘re looking into the suspects! It feels like it‘s taken a while to get here, but it may be that I‘ve had a lot going on. #PegAndRoseSolveAMurder

I‘m on my lunch break and trying to get a few chapters in. Let me set the scene: the murder from the title has occurred. The protagonists are sitting at a table chatting about the murder. One of the protagonists offers the other cake. They‘ve had a shock. The second refuses because cake is sinful. I am firmly on Team Peg. Rose is insufferable. #PegAndRoseSolveAMurder

I won an ARC! (That‘s really the only thing I ever win, but not complaining!) So far, it‘s a cute book. Peg and Rose are septuagenarian SILs. Peg is a little prickly, but funny. Rose is a bit holier-than-thou, but she‘s starting to loosen up. I‘ll let you know how it goes. #PegAndRoseSolveAMurder
