Bells, Spells, and Murders by Carol J. Perry

4.0

Why do I love these books so much? Maybe because the heroine, though she does stumble into a disproportionate number of murders, and though she was widowed young, she has a really easy life. Free housing. Fancy car. Jobs she loves. She's obviously hot. She never really fights with her boyfriend. Everything always works out in the end. And this should be annoying but instead it's comforting. When I'm stressed beyond belief (and this has been a stressful year!), I love reading books where the problems aren't actually so bad. The murdered person wasn't a close friend. Life is great except for the pesky mystery. It all gets wrapped up neatly in the end. Thank the gods books like this exist to help keep me sane when, for example, I'm in the middle of moving!
