A case of Bier is the 31st (yep 31) in the bed and breakfast series by Mary Daheim. I have loved this series over the years...but this book wasn’t as good as most of them in the series.
I will say...this is my first time listening to this series on audio, and that made a huge difference. You know when you have talked to someone on the phone numerous times, but have never seen them in person...and when you do...it is not at all the picture you have created?? Well it’s kinda like that only...not...lol, but hopefully you get my drift...I guess the voices in my head were different than I expected...yes, I said the voices in my head... and yes, I know how it sounds lol.
The other thing for me was the writing was all over the place...totally not like the other books, and I do not like when the amateur sleuth comes across as rude, entitled, nosey (which is different than curious) or patronizing!! At points in this book Judith nailed all of these. It was a big turn off!! I don’t remember feeling like this before….hmm…
I'm not ready to give up on this series….I have invested a lot of my time in the Hillside manor (and have enjoyed most of that time), so I will be reading the next one in the series.
