Cute cozy mystery set at the Texas Gulf Coast. I figured out who done it again too early. You think they'd be red herrings but nope a little too obvious at least for me.

Cozy mysteries that score 3/5 are different from others. They are the ones to watch. There were many things to like about Killer Crab Cakes, one of them being the seamless way the usual suspects (and I use the term loosely) segue into the brand new background of Fulton. The pacing in this book was out of this world. Though this book could not reach lofty heights it had a lot of heart. The deaths, first by poison, then another by stabbing were solved apparently with much time, while in fact mere days had passed. I will be limiting my consumption of cozy mysteries for now, but this good book is blameless in that matter. I wish the retired cast of teachers will come back to this location, though I suppose there'll always be... other towns.

No time to read and library hold times made it take forever to finish this book, through no fault of the writing. I quite enjoyed the story and had no idea who did it until last ten percent.
