My Review
After a bad breakup with her boyfriend, Abby Jones moves to the small town of Cranberry Creek where she plans to open a bookstore. She even has a ginger cat named Reggie who loves to lie in the sun at the bookstore. Everything is going well until her first author signing takes place and the author suddenly dies under suspicious circumstances. All eyes turn towards Abby as the guilty party.
Abby is desperate to find the real killer. She has no intentions of spending the rest of her life behind bars.
This is a fun, quick mystery. It’s a great way to spend an hour or so. The problem I had with this book is the format. After each chapter (which are extremely short), there is a word search puzzle and clues to help you figure out “whodunit”.
I love word search puzzles and this could have been so much fun and unique, if it weren’t in e-book format. This type of book would have worked much better in a print version. Still, this is a good mystery and I love the interactive format, just not as an e-book. This is one time when the old fashion paper would have worked much better.
