It is nice the way the POV rotates it works well. Why anyone would stay at that place though is beyond me. :) Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17515345156687765162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3952534890282357396.post-70746046104195401452014-12-16T18:32:29.947-08:002014-12-16T18:32:29.947-08:00Comfort reads are nice this time of year.

But it is a fun book. I read Mulled Murder last year and at the time didn't feel the need to read another, but this it appealed to me again. Must have liked it more than I thought. :) Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17515345156687765162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3952534890282357396.post-56515861479725166592014-12-16T18:28:44.724-08:002014-12-16T18:28:44.724-08:00It's perfect for a standalone!

Yes, the number of murders in and around the hotel is unrealistic (you couldn't PAY me to stay at the Pennyfoot Hotel, for fear of getting bumped off!) but as you point out, the setting and characters are charming. Maybe it's time for me to pick the series up again. :-) Good review, Greg!Lark @ The Bookwyrm's Hoardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08639732368395025578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3952534890282357396.post-42579329431385117152014-12-16T10:26:45.811-08:002014-12-16T10:26:45.811-08:00I went to add book one to my wish list and realize...I went to add book one to my wish list and realized I have book two on my Kindle! :DBeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17455117466213636141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3952534890282357396.post-1694211155262653742014-12-16T10:24:50.238-08:002014-12-16T10:24:50.238-08:00I did wonder about the realism of so many murders ...I did wonder about the realism of so many murders at one place but sometimes you have to let go and just embrace the crazy. I like the different POVs and that we get some from the servants. This sounds like a series I might like.

I should revisit it as you're right - they're comfortable reads. I do like the sounds of this one and all the fun you could have with the hotel setting. Of course, if there were 1 or more murders in a hotel each year I'm not sure I'd stay there anymore! Thanks for reminding me about this series. It sounds like a fun holiday read that would be - well - cozy!Katherine Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12126062556416434416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3952534890282357396.post-26408416707611544822014-12-16T05:59:31.093-08:002014-12-16T05:59:31.093-08:00Sounds fun!

Like you said, it may not be super realistic that there's so many murders, but sometimes realism isn't the point - wacky situations and lovable characters are a great blend for a cozy mystery! I've been looking for fun cozy mysteries lately, so I may grab this one. It's ok as a standalone?Berlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02651998289718166892noreply@blogger.com
