Wow, I loved this book. I enjoy a good puzzle and I would say most mystery fans do but I loved the way the killer puzzles out a way to kill someone and make it look like an accident, very inventive but the author wasn't done, she then added in some twists to throw you off. I read the book and gave it a four star rating because I enjoyed but it is a whole different experience listening to it, now it's a five, despite knowing how it turns out I couldn't stop listening. The characters are what makes this a loveable series and the one i turn to when I need cheering up because I know the author packs her little adventures full of laughs and mischief from ex girlfriends, serial killers and even unusual pets. Bring on the next book.
There have been a number of deaths in the Pineapple Port area that have been ruled as accidents, with one worrying detail. A puzzle piece is found at the scene. Is the famous Puzzle killer back? And what happens when two serial killers are in town and want to start a game? Charlotte and the Pineapple gang are going to have to keep there wits about them if they don't want to get caught in the middle of a deadly game. And with Declan, Charlotte's boyfriend, ex girlfriend involved and passing on secret messages. Can Charlotte keep her man as well as her life?
I really liked the narrator and thought she added something special to the reading of this story.

I’m not adverse to a bit of dark or meatier levels of violence but having listened to the first 2 books, like their vibe for a certain mood, this was a harder darker edge than I was expecting from the first 2…I’m subsequently not sure what to do about listening to the next. If I’m wanting something with a bit about itself this wouldn’t be my go to but would do…but if it’s lighter-like books 1 &2 it’ll not suit & conversely if I want light and get this again it’ll not fit the bill…
Bold choice to take a bit of a darker tack on book 3…

Well that took a turn…!

I really enjoy a good cozy mystery and very much enjoyed the first two books in this series. Good characters, gentle age-clash humour, amusing dialogue, a little romance and a gentle mystery, BUT this latest book contains a series of murders as viewed through the murderer's eyes, some really horrible characters and increased peril for the nicer characters.

For me, it's strayed away from cozy. I kept trying to listen, but stopping because I felt uncomfortable with yet another description of murder. Not gory, but still a bit disturbing as written from the murderer's viewpoint. I've given up this book, it's not what I wanted and quite different from the previous books in the series.

If I wanted a full-on murder mystery, with unease, peril and getting into the mind of murderers I wouldn't have chosen this cozy mystery. I really hope the author goes back to gentler, more humorous writing.

No longer a cozy read
