The Baked Bean Supper Murders by Virginia Rich

2.0

The writing is often hard to follow, sometimes switching between points of view and narrators with no indication of who is the new speaker. Although unpleasant, I could deal with it. However, I could not deal with the death of the dog. That was unnecessary and destroyed the book for me. Also, I could not determine how, aside from Mrs. Potter, this related to the first book. The clues to the killer and the motives were flimsy at best and then for Rodney to kill himself after all of that was not necessarily a surprise. What was a surprise was him killing his own mother for having a new boyfriend. And attempting to kill Mrs. Potter because she smiled at him and he thought she was laughing at him? Absurd. I will not be continuing with this series.
