Random Review: "Sinister Sprinkles" by Jessica Beck

Okay all, I have just found goodreads.com and this is my first attempt to review a book there and copy it to my blog!  I'm so excited ... Yay! 

Sinister Sprinkles by Jessica Beck

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

ABOUT:  Susanne Hart is a donut shop owner who is constantly finding herself in the middle of a murder investigation.  In Sinister Sprinkles, Darlene Higgins was found dead in front of the courthouse in the middle of the Christmas carnival.  Why is Susanne a suspect?  Darlene just happens to be the woman that Susanne's ex-husband had an affair with, and essentially caused the divorce!

LIKES: Just like the others in the series, this is a very light, easy read. I like the setting of this series, and the characters have good personalities. The book itself didn't require much thinking, and I was (somewhat) surprised when I found out "who done it".

NOT SO MUCH: I wish the author would tie up some of the loose ends that are made throughout the book. Also, she tends to reference things later that didn't happen within previous pages. Maybe some of this will come together in later books? It's just frustrating wanting to know what happened to so-in-so, etc.

OVERALL: Overall, it was okay. I will continue to read the series because of how easy they are.

And just a side note ... the fact that the book contains recipes (for donuts and other yummies) is a good thing and a bad thing.  It gives it that something different, but I was reading this in the middle of a week long detox!  I would have killed for a donut ... who am I kidding, I was ready to eat the book!  LOL!

Where have I been?

Did you even notice I was gone?  I noticed.  With the A to Z Challenge forcing me to log on to my blog every day for an entire month, I have felt lost without it.  But I promised myself while I was on vacation that I wasn't going to touch a computer ... and I didn't.  It was totally worth it!

I was in NC all last week visiting family, and meeting my new granddaughter!  Yes, that's right ... I'm a grandma!  Zoey Marie was born on Tuesday, May 1st at 11:05 pm and weighed 8 lb 1 oz.  The stubborn little thing made us wait all day, but it was so worth it.  She is so adorable.  I am so proud of Lizz (and Tyler too) who did a wonderful job delivering.  They are going to be super parents!

So, now that I'm back home (and missing my baby, and his baby like crazy), I can't wait to get back to blogging and catching up on my fellow A to Zer's.  Hope everyone has had a wonderful first week of May!
