Cute book, pleasant read.

Cute book, pleasant read. I foresee a romance soon. Very formulaic, but that is not a bad thing. I do like that the main character doesn't put up with a lot of guff.

Bed and Breakfast and Murder is a somewhat entertaining book. It was written so that there could be sequels to it which is maybe why something was missing. There was not much bed and breakfast just trying to figure out who murdered the hated man. The book was awarded three stars in this review. ( )

Fiona Fleming has returned home after breaking up with her cheating boyfriend in NYC. She also had had a good excuse. Her grandmother had left her the B&B that the grandmother ran, so Fiona decided that it was time for a change.

John Fleming used to be the Sheriff of the small town of Reading in Vermont. Fiona grew up learning a lot about police procedures and law enforcement. Her father even taught her how to use a gun in a safe manner. Fiona's dream was to become a law enforcement officer when she grew up.

But in High school, for whatever reason, John Fleming made it clear that he did not support the idea of his daughter becoming a law enforcement officer, thereby ruining Fiona's dream. So Fiona ran away. She moved to NYC.

Now she is back. She begins running the B&B that she inherited. But less than 1 week after she returned home, a man named Peter Wilkins showed up and told her that her grandmother has signed off the deed of the B&B to him and that she had 48 hours to vacate the premises. The very next day Pete Wilkins is found dead in the fish pond in the front yard of the B&B, and naturally Fiona is the main suspect.

This is told in first person POV which is a little hard to get used, but the more I read, I more I became used to how Fiona thinks. Fiona's problem is that she desperately needed to find the murderer, clear her name and get her B&B back.

Just a cautionary word. This novel opens with some pretty salty language!! No swearing, but there other words that one would not want to hear coming out of a young ladies mouth!!

One other thing. The "Sidekick" in this novel is not a human. Rather it is a dog. A Pug dog named Petunia. A very LAZY pug dog named Petunia. I am not a fan of dogs.

But once you get past the salty language and the dogs bad habits, this turned out to be a great read.

I gave this 4 stars because I had to deduct one star for the dog. ( )

This was okay. Not a must read but not a dnf either. I probably would read the next book in the series but I would not go hunt it down.

Fiona (Fee) inherits her grandmother Iris’ bed and breakfast. It gave her an accuse to move home to Vermont from New York City and a cheating ex-boyfriend. What she didn’t expect was for a property developer, Pete Wilkins to claim that Iris had signed the deed to the inn over to him. The next day his body is found in her garden pond. Now she is the #1 suspect in his death.
There are some books that you just slide into the story this is one. It was a relaxing, quick-paced read that flowed from the pages. The characters of the town of Reading are well described, the mystery is interesting and comes with a surprising end. ( )
