A Smoking Bun by Ellie Alexander
4.0
I enjoyed the mystery in this book. The “Dummy” competition on the slopes of Mt. Ashland is a fun event, and the shock of a murder during this venerable local tradition plunges the reader right into the action. The one thing that bothered me was that Jules obsesses a little too much about the murder. She runs off to investigate or to speculate with Lance, while her stepson Ramiro’s family is there from Spain for a time of introduction and bonding.
This book has more of Jules’ introspection than others in this series—she’s mulling over changes at Torte and contemplating the possibility of her and Carlos starting a family of their own. It doesn’t slow down the action, and it’s a bit of a cliffhanger for the next book.
