I am an avid cozy mystery reader and have enjoyed this series since book one, but I get so tired of the heroine's being stupid or turning into Jessica Fletcher and now Avery has really crossed those lines. I will say, at least the Derek (and therefore the author) have acknowledged it in their relationship but can we find new ways for them to solve the mystery besides putting themselves into dangerous situations--that as the reader--that are so obvious (e.g. visiting a suspect to give them information, following people in cars, etc.).
I thought the murder itself was interesting but I get distracted by the stupid stuff the amateur sleuths do that it takes away from the really good plot.

I enjoyed this series until this one and the next one. This one was unrealistic about the murderer and I found the whole situation unsatisfying. The wedding was nice though! I think I will stop with number 7 though.

As Avery and Derek ready themselves for their upcoming wedding, they are once again involved in an investigation of a suspicious death....Miss Shaw's death looked accidental, an allergic reaction to nuts.....who would want to murder the recluse and why? There is no lack of suspects in the apartment complex where Avery and Derek are renovating an apartment....and where Josh, the police chief's son lives.....
Even though I was able to figure out "who dun it", it was an entertaining read......

I like this series a lot. It's well-written and the characters are fun.
