Genre: Cozy Mystery
Series: Snug Harbor Mysteries #2
Inked Out reads more like a draft meant for the editor than the final product intended for the reader. Extra words, missing words, and a great deal of redundancy made this book painful to read.
Book two in the Snug Harbor series sees Max Sayer, with assistant Bethany, hosting a new mystery writers’ group at Seaside Cottage Books. The group is barely off the ground when Reginald Blakely accuses Bethany of plagiarizing his novel involving the death of a housekeeper. When Reginald’s body is found in the bookstore, Bethany becomes the number one suspect.
What slowly evolves is that one of the founding families of Snug Harbor wants to keep their secret buried since there is a proposed land deal and millions of dollars on the line and no one knows what could happen if the truth is told. Especially a truth that could reveal a long-forgotten member of the family and an end to the cash infusion that the family desperately needs.
If it wasn’t for the fact that I have enjoyed the past books from this author, I would give up completely. Hopefully, this was only a slight glitch in her usually well-oiled machine and soon she will get back to the writing that I have enjoyed. *
