Helpful Score: 3

I am a big fan of books in general and love the "Cozy" mysteries, so I was looking forward to reading the first of the Booktown Mystery series. I'm sorry to say I was disappointed. One of the best things about cozy mysteries is a cast of characters you enjoy spending time with and I found almost every character in this book to be un-likeable. The sheriff was one-dimensional and there was very little substance to any of the other characters. I got the feeling the author really didn't know where she wanted to go with the story until about half-way through; several of the main characters had personality changes partway through the book that left me cold. I agree with a previous poster that the sibling rivalry was much worse in Tricia's mind than in reality and kind of thought she was being immature and whiny about it. I may read the second in the series just to see if it gets better, but this one so far is not a keeper.
