What readers say
Readers settle into the Country Store Mysteries for a likable, hardworking heroine who runs a breakfast-and-lunch spot in a small southern Indiana town, a warm community with local lingo, a pet cat, plenty of suspects and the recipes at the back. Many say the series stays charming over the long run and that later books are well plotted. Common criticisms are a slow, padded first book with repetitive recaps, killers that are easy to spot, a heroine some find too perfect, loose police procedure, and the occasional entry where the mystery feels weak.
Best for: Readers who want a comfortable small-town culinary cozy with food, friends and recipes.
