Mom and Christy are back in action, and Mom wants to win a Milkshake contest.
The death of someone who tasted Mom’s shake leaves their catering in jeopardy.
Family and friends rally around and cause chaos.
The family and neighborhood aspects of this series are really interesting- and much more hilarious because they are part of their family and friends circle and I am lucky enough to read about them instead of enduring living with their wacky shenanigans!
More fun!
Fun, quick read. Characters are likable and plot is well developed. There are some typos/errors, but they are not too distracting. I enjoyed this book and I would recommend it to cozy mystery lovers!
Mango Cake and Murder #1- Heartwarming and funny. I love the relationship between the mother and daughter; they reminded me of other m/d relationships like Joy Luck Club, etc. The mother is wise, caring, sensible, a matchmaker (her daughter’s) and is loved by all. The daughter realizes how great and loved her mother is and there’s the extended family, too. A love interest and a cat with personality. Can’t forget the murder and the characters involved with that family. A funny, quickly read suspense.
Apple Pies and Alibis #2 – Another funny book. A well written comedy with a wonderful cast of characters supporting Mom and Christy as they solve another mysterious death, find a sandwich thief and the employee selling company secrets; while they successfully caterer parties and luncheons. When you finish the book, you’re sad, but still happy from reading, that the book is finished and you don’t have Milkshakes and Murder on hand.
Milkshakes and Murder #3 – They’re at it again! Another well written, fun filled story with our favorite ladies and a well thought out plot that keeps the reader immersed in the intrigue, suspense and now, a touch of romance. The characters are interesting and the dialog real. Some of the characters are developing into their full potential and it’s fun to watch the growth. There’s new characters that will be seen more in future books. Ms. Murphy doesn’t disappoint the reader with her writing and sense of humor.
Mocha and Murder #4 – This is a pretty good story! Well written, funny, intriguing and a different path followed than in previous books. Add a PASSEL of new characters, interesting and entertaining, along with a plot that keeps the reader interested. The reader isn’t disappointed with the author’s writing style and her sense of humor.
Coconuts and Crooks #5 – A well written, interesting, serious but informative story about Christy and her mom’s trip to the Philippines to solve the murder of her mom’s sister. Things go as usual and there’s another murder to solve. The characters are well developed and their dialog is realistic and interesting. The plot keeps the reader immersed in the story and Ms. Murphy’s descriptions paint interesting views of life there and their problems with the murders. This story doesn’t disappoint the reader. The note from the author is interesting on it’s own and worth reading. I contacted the author to review her books.
Honey Buns and Homicide #6 – This is not my first book by Ms. Murphy, but I had so much fun reading it. Not only that, but I caught myself immersed in the pages waiting to see what was next and if I was right about the baddie. This book reads so much like a conversation between friends, drinking ice tea on the front porch. It’s well written, interesting, well thought out and filled with humor while being a substantial read. I’m always looking for the next Murphy book; there’s no disappointment or stupid formulas, but someone who writes an interesting humorous story. I contacted the author to review her book.
The Secret Truth of Time – I’ve read Mango Cake and Murder, and Apple Pies and Alibis, and was surprised at the difference between those books and The Secret Truth of Time. Totally and completely apples and oranges. This well written paranormal book is fast paced and difficult to put down. I read it in one sitting. The characters are interesting and the plot is intriguing. The Time Travel alone is a major character! Ms. Murphy is one heck of a storyteller. Don’t expect humor and lightheartedness in this story. It is spellbinding!
