A review by lattelibrarian
Gin and Daggers by Jessica Fletcher, Donald Bain
3.0
A fun book perfect for the fans of Murder, She Wrote!
I grew up watching this series with my grandma, so when I found out only recently that there was a novelization companion series, I jumped on the first book. My hope for this series was to broaden my senses regarding what I usually read, as I'm not a very big mystery/thriller reader. But, it's my job to know a little about a lot, so I figured that this was a good place to start within that genre!
This kept in line with the general feeling of the TV series and was written well. What I appreciate about this series, in both forms, is that nothing is often so incredibly high stakes. It's cozy, it's familiar, and mostly, it's just fun. I love seeing what situations Jessica finds herself in and how she gets out of them even while everyone thinks she's the perpetrator.
I can't wait to check out the next one from the library!
