I don‘t know why I keep doing this to myself. What sloppy frickin‘ storytelling, and an increasingly loathsome and self-important main character. No spoilers, but the characterization has gone insanely topsy-turvy; I‘ll read the next two, but then, I‘m done. I swear it this time. #adeadlydeletion #booktownmysteries #lornabarrett #cozymysteries #goddamnitmeganjaneyoureasucker

Deblovestoread I stopped after the 3rd in the series and your reviews make me so glad I did! Sounds like the MC becomes more insufferable with each installment. 2w

Handbook for Homicide | Lorna Barrett

Finished it, and read the sneak peek of the next book, and yup, it‘s definitely quit-the-series time. Lazy plot-manipulation, plummeting characterization, and one of my least-favorite ways to resolve a ~love triangle~. It‘s kind of a shame, because this was a really enjoyable series in the beginning, but now? Byeeeeee. ✌🏻 #booktownmysteries #handbookforhomicide #lornabarrett

Handbook for Homicide | Lorna Barrett

Once I finish this, I‘m 99% sure I won‘t continue with the series. Tricia is a judgy bitch, and her obsession with food and gaining weight is obnoxious. Not to mention, the writing is just getting bad. Although I love Mr. Everett so much, there‘s not enough of him to make this worth it. 🤷🏻‍♀️ #booktownmysteries #lornabarrett #cozymystery #handbookforhomicide

Fortifiedbybooks I struggled with this book as well, but managed to get through it and find out the reason behind Tricia's obsession with food, weight, and being judgmental. The next book, A Deadly Deletion was better, but Clause of Death was the last straw for me. I barely got through it. It's a shame, too, because this was the series that got me into Cozy Mysteries. 2mo

actualdisneyprincess @Fortifiedbybooks I‘m pretty sure her obsession with food was explained in a previous book, and I thought I remembered her acknowledging it and beginning to heal from it; the characterization here seems to ignore that completely and just reverts to her worst self. I feel your disappointment, though! This was one of my favorite series until now. 🫠 2mo

Fortifiedbybooks I do remember the issue coming up previously, but I feel like this book went into more detail about it, possibly for the sake of bringing social issues into the series. That was the main reason (besides the bad writing) I finally bailed. I don't want to read about social issues in my Cozy Mysteries. I want to escape from the social issues/reality LOL To me, that's the whole point of Cozies. 2mo

actualdisneyprincess @Fortifiedbybooks right???? There‘s a way to touch on them without making them feel like Very Special Episodes of 80s/90s television, or holier-than-thou, savior complexes, and unfortunately…this doesn‘t do it. 🙃 2mo

A Just Clause | Lorna Barrett

so-so

Not enough Mr. Everett combined with too much of the Miles parents and a too-fast, last-second solution to the murder makes this just a so-so. #ajustclause #lornabarrett #booktownmysteries

Vivlio_Gnosi Thank you for the review! It was a help to me. 6y

A Just Clause | Lorna Barrett

Finally winding down with this; it's another series that I keep reading just because I've spent so much time with it already, and because I'm hoping it eventually gets back to being as all-around cute as it was in the beginning. (Still better than the Hannah Swensen mess though, lbr.) #ajustclause #lornabarrett #booktownmysteries

Angelica can also be in the much-desired Mr. Everett spinoff. #ajustclause #lornabarrett #booktownmysteries
