A most delightful cosy mystery read!
January 31, 2019
Nora Page’s ‘Old Lady Sleuth’ cosy mystery “Better Off Read” certainly is one of the best in the genre that I’ve read so far.
Our heroine here is Cleo Watkins, aged 75, who’s trying to save the library of Catalpa Springs, Georgia, which has been damaged by a storm. The arrogant young Mayor Jeb Day, though, prefers tourist fishing piers and boat casinos to libraries and makes it clear to her he’s not going to give her any money for the repairs; and what’s worse, he even wants to take her library caravan “Words on Wheels” from her!
Together with her young colleague Leanne, she tries to get some money out of eccentric Buford Krandall, a friend of the library; he’s been reading a lot of books about murder recently, all written by local writer Priscilla Pawpaw… He says he’s got a plan against the Mayor whom he loathes, so together with her charming friend Henry Lafayette, who owns the local antiques and rare books shop, Cleo goes to visit Buford in his eerie old villa – but, what a shock, they find him dead in his library!
During the murder investigation, we get to know all the more or less suspicious characters in Catalpa Springs: Police Chief Culpepper, who’s a friend of Mayor Day; Buford’s neighbour Mary-Rose, an old friend of Cleo’s, who is rather pleased about his death; Cleo’s grandson Ollie and his girlfriend Whitney, an environmentalist (Buford had been polluting the spring waters, and his drill was destroyed on the night he was murdered), Bitsy, the local banker’s wife and very active member of the ladies’ club…
When Cleo and Henry finally get to talk to the real crime writer, Priscilla Pawpaw, they learn that Buford had been very interested in her notes for her latest book “Fatal Florida”! Next, the two amateur sleuths learn that Whitney actually is the daughter of Buford’s estranged half-brother; then, the library on wheels is being sabotaged – and then, another murder occurs…
A delightful read, both playful and enormously clever, a feast surely for all fans of the genre, with twists and turns and lovable characters – and, of course, at the end of the book the interested reader will find the recipe for a delicious cake!
This is not a bad thing, so of my favorite cozy mysteries are …
May 29, 2018
so this appears to be written by someone who found the check off list for cozy murder mysteries and then wrote a paint by numbers example. This is not a bad thing, so of my favorite cozy mysteries are like this. The problem comes in when too much attention is paid to the formula and not attention is paid to the book itself. Just a couple of examples: 1. The murder victim was not the right character. The eccentric curmudgeon that lives by himself and annoys everyone around him is endearing and is someone we want to root for. Not someone we want to see harm come to. He simply was not unlikable enough. The one we want to see get his comeuppance and we would have like to have seen as the victim gets his in a very lukewarm way that does not really give any satisfaction. 2. The cast of lovable screwball suspects that populate the book, once their relationships with the protagonist can mostly all be eliminated as the guilty party because that would be violating the check list. For the same reason we can eliminate all of those accused some where in the story itself. That only leaves one possible person and when they are revealed to be the murderer it is pretty obvious and causes only a ho hum reaction. I love mysteries but I did not love this one and will not look for another in this series or anything else by this writer.
