@Ericalambbrown said listening to this book was like listening to Siri read it to you, and she‘s absolutely right. It was still fun, although I found the mc, Florrie, to be a bit old fashioned for her actual age. She also screamed a lot, and instead of telling someone she wasn‘t interested in him she kept going out with him or lying to him about a new relationship in order not to hurt his feelings. I hate that. Still it‘s a pick.

Ericalambbrown Right?!?! 🤣 3y
KathyWheeler @Ericalambbrown I know! I was sure you couldn‘t be right, but you are.😄 3y

Listened to this one for FOTL. It was a fun little whodunnit to keep me company during weekend chores. The audiobook was kinda like if Siri was reading a book to me so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. But still fun for what it is - a “cozy mystery” that is brain candy to relax.

Book is set in Washington, DC, featuring Florrie Fox, a colouring book artist & manages a bookstore. Setting is great but everything else doesn‘t work for me. I couldn‘t warm up to Florrie, some characters felt caricature, the murder investigation is ridiculous & romance part is laughable. Only cool thing is the front & back cover of the paperback copy showing an elaborate drawing where readers can colour in (I read on ebook).

Librarybelle That‘s a shame! I‘ve been intrigued by the series because of the “color me” book cover. 4y
ShyBookOwl Bummer, are u a cozy mystery fan? I found it to be an enjoyable cozy, but I guess u have to like cozies to begin with, and be in the mood for it (and accept the conceits of the genre 🤷🏽‍♀️). The setting is great though! 4y
SamanthaMarie Awww this one is on my TBR. Still might dive in. 4y

erzascarletbookgasm @ShyBookOwl I do enjoy cozies, and I read them for what they are, this one just doesn‘t work for me. 🤷🏻‍♀️ The murder investigation in this is left to a patrol officer/beat cop! The homicide detective appeared briefly then never heard of again! 🤔 I‘m glad you enjoyed it though. 👍 4y
ShyBookOwl @erzascarletbookgasm Haha fair enough! 4y
erzascarletbookgasm @SamanthaMarie It‘s probably just me. I read reviews that the author‘s other series, A Domestic Diva Mystery, is very popular. Go ahead and read this, you may end up enjoying it. 😉 4y
SamanthaMarie @erzascarletbookgasm I just read a cozy that got good reviews on Goodreads and Amazon and I *hated* it. 🤣 So I get the feeling of... am I the only one who notices that this is ...not good??? 🥴😉 4y
TEArificbooks Might just get the paperback so I can color the cover 4y
ferskner Oh no! This cover was so promising! 4y

On a murder mystery kick. Came across this one on Libby and can't stop listening. I love a mystery with an unlikely sleuth.

Wow, what a book! This novel had me hooked from the first few pages with the beautiful descriptions of the beautiful book store, Color Me Read. When I first received this ARC from Kensington, I was over the moon not only did the story sound captivating but the cover was amazing! Not only did it have a beautiful and intricate design wrapped around the cover, you could customize it by coloring it anyway you wanted! #bookreccs

5 Stars! The story provides a compelling mystery which is all solved neatly at the end. I enjoyed all the secrets that come to light during the book. There‘s humor, and a cute cat and dog to love. The book is a page-turner, and thrilling to lose yourself in, and I highly recommend this Debut to Cozy Mystery fans! The author includes delicious sounding recipes at the end.
