I do love this small tourist town in California It is a kind of place I wouldn t mind visiting or even living Kind and friendly citizens, well other than the ones that decide to commit murder This is the 8th book and I really enjoy reading how the personal story lines progress for Jill, Greg, Aunt Jackie, Toby and Esmeralda There are other characters that always manage to round out the story and create depth to the plot.I will say that I sort of figured out who the killer was, not on any major c [...]

This is one of my favorite series so I knew this would be like meeting up with old friends 4.5 rating.Jill Gardner has gone back to college and it s kind of kicking her butt because as much as she would like to learn about marketing to run her business it s kind of boring to read about Not only does she have to deal with that but she still has to work at Coffee Books n More and they have a fairly famous author Nathan coming to do an event.There are two BB s in South Cove and it s a tourist town [...]

Hospitality and Homicide is the eighth book in the Tourist Trap Mysteries I have not read any others in the series, but the number of characters are limited and it was easy to jump into the story The plot is fairly simple too much emphasis is on the characters everyday lives, rather than on the mystery Halfway into the book the reader knows with certainty Jill s daily activities, her favorite dessert, her relationship issues, etc Despite that, the author details them over and over throughout the [...]
