Fatal Frost

Title: Fatal Frost
Author: Karen MacInerney
Published: October 18th 2016 by Thomas & Mercer
Format: Paperback, 282 pages
Genre: Cozy Mystery
Series: Dewberry Farm #2

Hoping that book two in the Dewberry Farm Mysteries series would have rounded out the people and places of Buttercup, I was disappoint when instead the book was nothing more than a gosh-golly-gee-whiz, jaunt through a tedious “he said, then she said, then he said” dialogue leaving the reader wanting to jump through the pages and pull something of interest out.

Once an investigative journalist and now a small-time farmer, Lucy Resnick continues to learn the ways of farming and wayward animals. Now that she has found freshly dug holes on her property she does a bit of investigating on her own and when a few clues come together and a body is discovered in a burned out house, Lucy and the bumbling sheriff finally put the pieces together all the while poison-pen letters are winding their way through town.

Karen MacInerney tries to throw too many parts into this one in hopes that something will stick to the proverbial wall, but sad to say, it just came out as a jumbled overcooked mess. Unfortunately, this will be my last trip to Dewberry
