But this week's selection for these memes is Death of a Mad Hatter by Jenn McKinlay.
This is the second in her Hat Shop Mystery series. I'm not much past page 56 myself, but so far I'm really enjoying it.
It begins with:
"Take it off, Scarlett. You look like a corpse."
And on page 56 we find:
Suddenly, I had the urge to kick someone, a man, any man, really hard in the posterior. Irrational, I supposed, but there it was.
Not sure how much progress I will get made on the book this week, but I'm sure I will have it ready to review at some point next week.
This is one I'd love to read!

I'm really enjoying it.
DeleteJenn McKinlay is one of my favorites and I can't wait to start this series! The beginning and the snippet sound like this is a pretty fun book!
ReplyDeleteI read the first cupcake mystery last summer, and now I'm reading these. Obviously, I have a lot of others from Jenn to catch up on. This series is certainly fun.
DeleteSounds like a delightful cozy mystery. I love the cover, and the opening made me curious: What could she possibly be wearing that makes her look like a corpse?
ReplyDeleteHere's the link to my Friday post: MOVING IN.
It really is a fun series. Hope to get to others from the author soon.
DeleteI think every woman sometime in her life has had a similar feeling. It makes me like the protagonist quite a bit actually.

As a guy, I'm not sure I like it, although in context, I certainly understand it.
DeleteI want this cozy so badly. I can almost feel that kick.
ReplyDeleteIt's certainly enjoyable.
DeleteThe 56 made me laugh, oh how I have felt that way before... lol... sounds like a fun read!
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend!
I went with that 56 because it made me chuckle, although if I were in kicking distance I certainly wouldn't have been.
DeleteLove the title and the graphics on the cover, good first sentence, a definite must-read for me.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy! I've got about a quarter to go, and it's been a fun one.
