Foul Play

N/A

Murder By The Slice

I had started reading this book before and gave up on it. But I decided to give it another try. It was ok, nothing super. It is set around Halloween, and I love Fall, so thats why I wanted to read it, but I just didn't get the cozy Fall feeling of the book. And Phyllis still annoys me. She just seems mean. And she and Sam just need to hook up and get it over and done with. In this book, the rude president of the PTO ends up dead, and since everyone hated her, everyone is a suspect. The PTO group asks Phyllis to solve the case of who killed her. And since retired women in their 60s have nothing better to do, she sticks her nose in everyone's business and solves the murder. Not my favorite book, but I do like some of the others, so I'll keep reading the series.

A Peace of A Murder

I had started reading this book before. Not really sure why I stopped, but I decided to give it another try. Problem was that when I stopped reading it the first time I had skipped to the back to find out who the killer was, so that kind of ruined it this time around. But it was still interesting. Phyllis annoyed me, she seemed a little rude to Sam sometimes. And of course he just seems a little to nice. I was sad that she killed off the Mattie character. Little old ladies are cute. She kind of reminded me of the character Sophia from the show The Golden Girls.

311 Pelican Court

This book was OK. I was really into at first, but then it just seemed like it went on and on. I was glad that Maryellen finally realized that Jon was cool and they got together. Ditto with Olivia and Jack. And Zach and Rosie work out their problems. Now she just needs to get Grace and Cliff together, which happens in a later book I think. But these books kind of makes me not want to get into a relationship. All these people do is fight. Jeez Debbie. There are some sane people out there in the world who don't always have an issue with someone they are smitten with.

204 Rosewood Lane

I was really into this book in the beginning, but kind of zone out towards the end. It seemed a bit long. Olivia and Jack are really starting to annoy me. Its like the author can't decide if she wants them to be together or not. Make up your mind lady! And I don't know why Maryellen has such an issue with Jon. They are having a baby, and she's being a you know what to him, and he seems like a nice guy. Grace is still probably my favorite. To bad her hubby kills himself and her daughters suck. Oh well. Time to read the 3rd one.

16 Lighthouse Road

I've tried to read this book a few times before, but was never able to get through it, so this time I just stuck with it. It wasn't bad. Most of the characters are likable. Its great that Ian and Cecelia could work things out and stay married. I wasn't really a big fan of there's. I think I like Grace the most, but that might be because I'm in the middle of reading the second book which is more based on her. I was annoyed with how the author had Justine and Seth get married before they even dated. That's the thing that annoys me about her books, they just aren't very realistic when it comes to love. Who marries someone they are smitten with before they even date? Come on lady. Anyway, I'm gonna try and stick with the series.

Killer Crab Cakes

It was an OK book. About as good as the others in the series. This time Phyllis and her friends go to the Texas coast with her friends in tow to watch her cousins B&B, and of course someone dies and the guests want to leave. So Phyllis and Sam try to find out who really killed the guy so that her cousins business won't be damaged. I kind of suspected who the killer was because they seemed a little to friendly. And all the talk of crab cakes (even if they did kill someone) still sounded yummy.
