The Tell-Tale Tarte by Maya Corrigan
3.0
I was given a copy of this book by the publisher and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
Maybe it’s my fault for jumping into book 5 in the series, but I could not get into this book. Val runs a cafe in a gym, which seems strange enough to me to begin with, but she also gets caught up in mysteries, which she solves quicker than the police. This one involves a man who is killed while dressed up a lot like a local author who writes Edgar Allen Poe-inspired mysteries.
There are a lot of potential suspects, including Val’s boyfriend, Gunnar, whom Val basically calls ugly repeatedly. Lots of red herrings, side mysteries, bumbling police officers, etc.
I might give another in this series a chance, but I might not.
