The Readaholics and the Poirot Puzzle by Laura Disilverio
4.0
THE READAHOLICS AND THE POIROT PUZZLE by Laura DiSilverio is the second book in the Book Club Mystery series. It is a humorous cozy mystery that is well written and worked well as a standalone.
The plot takes place in and around Heaven, Colorado, a town that changed its name to try to attract more visitors to the community. The protagonist is Amy-Faye Johnson, an event coordinator. This includes all types of events ranging from weddings to birthday parties to community yard sales to the grand opening of her brother's pub. Unfortunately, a murder takes place during the pub's grand opening. With this synopsis, Amy-Faye pursues the murderer and enlists the help of her book club members.
This novel is filled with interesting characters and is an entertaining read. To me, the Poirot connection was weak and the culprit was not too hard to determine, but I have having so much fun in Heaven, Colorado that I thoroughly enjoyed the book. Additionally, the author brought in several themes that added to the heartfelt storyline besides murder including running small businesses, adoption, family dynamics and even a little romance.
While this is first book that I have read by Laura DiSilverio, I look forward to reading other books in this and her other mystery series. She has also written a young adult dystopian series and I have book one of it on my to-be-read list.
