Things become complicated for Jazzi when her friend & bookstore co-owner Dawn discovers a violently murdered body after a cooking competition. It‘ll be up to Jazzi to investigate when Dawn‘s mental health nose dives.

This was disappointing. The bookstore didn‘t make nearly as much of an appearance as I wanted, the prose was repetitive & ridiculously over detailed. The solve didn‘t feel well set up. The narrator did a good job though.🌕🌕🌑🌑🌑

julieclair 3 cheers for the narrator! 😆 #BetterBooksAhead , hopefully. 17h

I gotta be true to myself - I can‘t read this. It‘s this 1900s murders that just were boring poisons and doesn‘t get enough into the dynamics to make me care about their stories enough. I don‘t want to read this

Not 100% surprised at this.

HeatherBookNerd It‘s a slog! 4d
Eggbeater I read it in high school and thought it was torture. My teacher said parts were supposed to be boring to illustrate the many hours of inactivity on a ship. Like, why would I want to read that? 4d

I had to bail. 😝😉

This had an interesting start, but I‘m just not enjoying the main character or the writing style. It has a YA tone but definitely adult content. Just not for me. #hailthebail

After trying to read this three times (twice with the physical copy, once with audio), I‘m sad to say that I‘m going to permanently DNF this. While I love SJM, I was never a fan of urban fantasy and I just couldn‘t get into the story. Life is short and my TBR is too long to keep going back to an 800 page book I‘m not enjoying.

I thought this book would be tips for cheaper travel through flights, car rentals and hotels. Nope just flights and I had to stop reading it because it was just repeating itself over and over.
