A review by brokenspine
Meddling and Murder by Ovidia Yu
Did not finish book. Stopped at 15%.
I am NOT a cozy mystery kind of gal. I checked this out from the library and tried to read it because my therapist suggested I read something less hardboiled and “real world”. So, I tried to stay within my mystery wheelhouse, but man was I bored. I can’t tell you how many characters were introduced in the first 38 pages. I was finding all the characters unlikable, including the charismatic Aunty Lee.
I don’t really think this is an indictment on the book. It’s 100% me. I have tried cozies in the past with the same I’m bored phenom. And having said that, it’s not for me but your mileage may differ. Give it a whirl and see where it takes you.
And, yes I know this is the 4th book in the series but I don’t think it would have made a difference if I started with the first.
