Candy Slain Murder by Maddie Day
2.0
2.5/5 stars
I received an ARC copy of Candy Slain Murder through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Candy Slain Murder is the eighth book in the Country Store Mystery series. In Candy Slain Murder, Robbie goes about solving the mystery of a murder, a fire and a skeleton in the attic.
This is the first book in the series that I have read and I have to say it didn’t really catch my interest. It was well written, planned out and I did like the Christmas theme, but it fell a bit flat for me. I especially couldn’t get into the characters and the way most of them talked, they sounded very uneducated, even the ones who had gone to law school. The catching of the killer also came off as very anticlimactic to me, but that could have been because I couldn’t get into the story and characters.
I really wanted to like this cozy mystery, but it wasn’t for me. Maybe one day I’ll go back and try the other books in the series to see if reading them in order makes me like them any more.
