Why would anyone want to kill the chef?
Sconed to Death by Lynn Cahoon is a fun whodunit set in the small town Colorado. The characters are so well developed and formed a beautiful little family.
Cat Latimer
Cat is a former college professor, turned full-time writer with a side hustle that hosts writing retreats in her large Victorian home.
I like that Cat tries to keep her nose out of the investigation into the famous chef’s death. However, come on, she is the sleuth here, so sticking her nose in other people’s business is what she does. I also liked that she is herself and she is comfortable in her skin. Here is the kicker, my favorite thing is that she listens but doesn’t give unsolicited advice (except to Shauna).
Cat is a great character and sleuth. I couldn’t find anything that I disliked about her.
Mystery
The mystery was exceptionally well plotted, and the clues were there, but you didn’t know if Cat was on the right track until the climax of course. I suspected the culprit but for some reason wouldn’t commit. I guess I should have gone with my gut.
Things I Like
- The members of the writers’ group were fabulous with the constant game of how to kill people.
- The group were great friends and were able to complete lots of work during their retreat.
- Cat’s relationship with her Uncle Pete is honest and loving.
- Seth and Cat are a cute couple.
- The college librarian gave Cat passwords and then told her that her Uncle was going to be disappointed.
- Snow and the dwarfs.
4 Stars for Sconed to Death by Lynn Cahoon
My rating for Sconed to Death by Lynn Cahoon is four stars. The mystery and the story were entertaining, and the characters are funny and believable. There is more going on that just a murder, and that is honestly what makes this book so good.
I recommend this book to all Cozy fans.
