A review by syringaflower
Plum Pudding Murder by Joanne Fluke

3.0

It was okay. A little long in some places, but overall just decent. Not my favorite, but I've read worse in this series too.

There are however a couple of things I was irritated by.
And one of those is the character Tracey. Again. It seems a repetitive gripe of mine.

Tracey is much too young to talk about inflation, let alone know what it is.
Secondly, why does she not only know about the death that happened, but also that it was murder?
Who spoke to this child about such an inappropriate topic?
I'm not entirely sure how old she is supposed to be in this book, but because there's still a toothfairy involved, I can only say: yikes.

Another small gripe: Why is it that Lisa is practically running the Cookie Jar by herself? Give her a bigger role if you're going to practically make her the owner. Give that sweet woman a raise.
