Book Review: A Cozy and Charming Whodunit in Rural Vermont

⭐⭐⭐⭐ out of 5 stars

If you're a fan of cozy mysteries, Game Over at Guild Hall by Amy Patricia Meade is a must-read. Set in the scenic countryside of Vermont, the story revolves around the annual wild game supper at Guild Hall. When the event organizer meets a tragic end, the protagonist, Stella, finds herself in the midst of a captivating mystery filled with secrets, suspects, and a touch of danger.

Meade's storytelling is both engaging and well-paced, keeping readers guessing until the very end. The rural Vermont setting adds a delightful charm to the narrative, immersing readers in the sights, sounds, and flavors of the countryside. The characters are likable and relatable, making it easy to become invested in their journey.

As a standalone read, Game Over at Guild Hall offers a seamless entry point into the series. It perfectly balances an intriguing mystery with a cozy setting, making it an enjoyable read for both seasoned cozy mystery enthusiasts and newcomers to the genre.

While I would have loved to see some game meat recipes at the end (I'm a sucker for those in cozies), the absence didn't take away from the overall enjoyment of the book. The cover art exudes a cozy and inviting atmosphere, perfectly capturing the fall vibes that infuse the narrative.

In conclusion, Game Over at Guild Hall is a delightful and charming read that blends an engaging mystery with a picturesque rural setting and endearing characters. Amy Patricia Meade's storytelling kept me enthralled from start to finish, and I'm eagerly looking forward to more books from this series. Whether you're a cozy mystery aficionado or looking for a cozy read to curl up with, this book is sure to captivate and entertain.
