Curl up with the latest from the national bestselling author of Borrowed Crime...
Springtime in Chilson, Michigan, means it's librarian Minnie Hamilton's favorite time of year: maple syrup season! But her excitement fades when her favorite syrup provider, Henry Gill, dies in a sugaring accident. It’s tough news to swallow...even if the old man wasn’t as sweet as his product.
On the bookmobile rounds with her trusty rescue cat Eddie, Minnie meets Adam, the old man's friend, who was with him when he died. Adam is convinced Henry’s death wasn’t an accident, and fears that his own life is in danger. With the police overworked, it's up to Minnie and Eddie to tap all their resources for clues—before Adam ends up in a sticky situation...
Pouncing On Murder I enjoy this series, it's really cute. While a good read, it seemed a little loose. I don't know if it's my not-in-the-mood-to-read mood I'm in or if the plot needed to be tightened up a bit but this was a hard book to stay with. I knew I'd finish it in the end, but I just couldn't muster up much enthusiasm about it.
The best thing about this book? The MC has a TSTL moment at the end and actually admits it's a TSTL moment. Beautiful. And I'm not being facetious, I thought that was truly awesome. How many times have I (fruitlessly) said, "JFC YOU ARE TOO STUPID TO LIVE!" because you know they can't hear you. Well, I lost count, but this time, it was like being answered back. YOU ARE TOO STUPID TO LIVE!" "OMFG, I KNOW, RIGHT?"
Overall, I liked it, despite my ennui. Please don't let my lack of enthusiasm stop you from reading this book because it's actually really good.
