I enjoy the Jane Stuart series. Crushing Crystal was another good one. The plot moved along well and the mystery was engaging.
In short this sixth novel in the series follows the same formula as the earlier novels in the series. The most obnoxious, meddlesome, vile character loved by a couple and hated by many is killed in an ironic way. The local police still seem to be amazingly inept. They're unable to do what Jane does while she manages her literary agency and deals with many authors.
The ongoing backdrop of the agency and her client list continues and serves to prove occasional amusement and distraction from the main storyline of this cozy as it has throughout the series. For those so inclined the formula continues and works well.
