The Calamity Café by Gayle Leeson

2.0

Sigh this book took me longer than I was expecting to finish and the ending dragged on and on. I was hoping that this cozy mystery series would be one that I liked to include in series that I binge but that is not the case. In the first book. Amy decides that she is finally going to begin her dream of owning a restaurant. She offers Lou Lou, the owner of the local cafe, a deal so that she can take over ownership and put her own spin on it. Unfortunately, Lou Lou absolutely does not want to sell and when she turns up dead Amy is on the list of suspects. I was expecting to enjoy the small town country feel but instead it was lackluster. There were even moments where I felt that the author was making fun of the people that live in the south, which did not sit right with me. I was not attached to any of the characters and found Amy's detective skills to be ridiculous.
