I really wanted to give this one more stars, but in the end it was just an okay read for me. I enjoyed the setting and some of the side characters. However, Krissy (the protagonist) is god awful. She has zero chemistry with Paul (or any characters, to be honest). She is nosy. Obnoxious. Not very intelligent. Jumps to conclusions at the drop of a hat. That entire scene with the DR and Kevin where she demands to know why Kevin is at the DR's, and a bunch of other stuff that was SO very much none of her business really put the last nail in the coffin of this book. What more can I say...

Extreme stereotype hero liberals vs hatred filled conservative murders. Social view driven. Guessed guilty party at mid read.

This book was fun and super easy to read!
It was a great to read this at Thanksgiving time, even though it's not celebrated here because the descriptions of cider, turkey and autumn were really enjoyable!
The plot wasn't great - the main character is really annoying and not only snoops around far too much, but also suspects absolutely everyone she meets of being the murderer for really unimportant reasons. There were far too many characters overall, but it probably didn't matter too much if you'd read the previous books in the series because there were a lot of previous plot points referenced.
Finally, I didn't feel any suspense or tension - especially seeing as there is no real breakthrough, the murderer is just revealed suddenly at the very end.
That all being said, I still read this all in one sitting over an evening and had fun with it, so it wasn't bad at all!
