Bake Sale Murder by Leslie Meier
3.0
So, I have started well into the series, but I did get this book for free. Honestly, I doubt I would have spent money on it. Not because I think it's necessarily a bad book, but the cover and title leads a lot to be desired.
Although it is the 13th book, it's still easy for newcomers to jump in, which I really appreciated. Also, I didn't guess the murderer immediately, which is always a bonus. The book was also a real page-turner - I ended up reading it in one sitting, plus it did make me laugh a few times.
However, the book isn't perfect. Lucy managed to rub me the wrong way at times, and I failed to see why anyone in their right mind could be friends with Sue. Additionally, I feel like the hazing aspect of the book fizzled out and a lot of details in the story didn't make sense with closer examination.
But overall, I think it's a great light read. There's certainly a place for these types of books in the world.
