I've read Alpine For You by Maddy Hunter. Here's my review of the book:-
Even though it was tough to finish, and even though I didn't understand some of the jokes in this cozy mystery, I knew that I would award the book a praiseworthy rating. At first I didn't like the sentence structure of the book, as the style of the author was to give way to lengthy sentences that lacked that cutting edge, the je ne sais quoi of good writing, and anyway I'd rather end my sentence here because of something to do with stones and glass houses.
I had an inkling that the crime - the first one anyway - was one of passion. But I didn't get farther than that. I didn't know how poison was administered to the murdered. And I didn't know whose alibi rang steely true for whom. Because of these doubts, the author kept me guessing and I found myself upping the rating from 3 to 4 stars. I'm even thinking of reading the second book in the series, but again, more favorite authors are vying for my attention. So many books, so little time.
