I haven't read a James Patterson book in a long time and this was the perfect book to get me started reading him again!

Murder, mystery, mayhem and twist and turns galore. I worked out some twists but not others and, after a slow start, couldn't put it down so have powered through the rest of the book today. Think I'll be picking more of his books to read very soon.

4 stars

Was a little confusing at the start with the different people and it took me a couple of chapters to get them straight in my head but I quite enjoyed it.

It's the first cozy I've read that involves scrapbooking and I liked the little different back stories that worked with the main storyline, plus the different communities around the area.

If my library has anymore of these I shall definitely be picking them up.

Abigail MacKenzie is a beefarmer who, in a former life, used to be a police officer, she's now investigating the death of her friend Fiona, who burned to death in her car, was it suicide or murder!?

It's obviously murder and Abi will not stop until she finds out what exactly happened to her friend. Cue horrible, sneaky people who only care about themselves and a town who are suspicious of any outsiders and it builds up to more sneaky and violent goings on!

Huge thanks to Meera Lester, Kensington Books and NetGalley for this copy which I chose to read and all opinions are my own

Hmmm. I enjoyed this but I think there's a few chapters that could've gone and if wouldn't be detrimental to the story as a whole.

Loved most of the 80's references but some stuff was a little too detailed and I had to stop myself from scanning portions of it.

Solid 3.5 stars. May give it a re-read in a few months to see if I change my rating.

After reading 30% of this book I put it down and could not find the energy to pick it back up again, it languished on my currently reading pile and tried to lure me back in but wasn't succeeding.

Until Sunday, when my bf, who is now tasked to pick my books for me to prevent my dithering, told me to pick it up again (he'll now probably suggest reading the rest of the books AND watching the show too!). Oh my Gods what a book!! It takes time to read, obviously, but it's worth it, it really is.

I picked my favourites at the start, Jon, Tyrion, Ned, Daenerys and hated people from the start too Cersei (evil whore), Joffrey (needs a good being murdered) plus others too numerous to mention.
