Fudge Cupcake Murder by Joanne Fluke

These made a great Hallmark series but I find the books a tad dull. This is the second in the series I read and I don’t plan to read more. Though I didn’t plan to read this, so you never know.

J'enlève un quart d'étoile juste parce que j'ai pensé à un détail culinaire avant Hannah, et ça m'a semblé peu vraisemblable vu son niveau culinaire 

Spoiler

L'idée d'essayer la compote de pomme lui est venu très tard dans le livre alors que ça me semblait une piste évidente vu la description du goût des cupcakes

Sinon toujours aussi distrayant et ce triangle amoureux me plaît de plus en plus

Spoiler

je ne pense pas que ça finisse en trouple mais franchement ça serait l'issue idéale

It just got worse and worse, I think I have to be done with this series, at least for a while, the pace is the worst thing about it. There was nothing to get the reader hooked or feeling suspenseful until the last 20 pages. A couple of the characters are just so “pick-me” or so “manly men” that hearing the constant “I’m different than other girls” and “He is just so protective of me, I can’t get mad at him” gets so old, so fast, and I just can’t stand to keep reading from this characters perspective anymore. Maybe I’ll revisit down the line, because I’m interested in what happens with some characters, but I can’t do it right now.

I love the relationships in these books! I also love that they are set in a small town, and give me great recipe ideas!  The recipe for the namesake of this book sounds so incredible!!!   The plot itself feels a bit eh, but it's still an enjoyable way to spend my time!
