Have a price point for committing murder? What about ten million dollars?
Kelly, the owner of Kelly's Koffee Shop, and her husband, Sheriff Mike, fly to Virginia to see a friend receive her doctorate degree. What Kelly didn't plan on was becoming involved in trying to solve the murder of Stephanie's friend, Julie. The mystery of who killed Julie leads Kelly to Boston, Maine, and Oregon.
Julie's mother is the multimillionaire owner of a huge insurance company and convinces Kelly to try and help find her daughter's killer. She has stage four pancreatic cancer, and her doctors don't give her much time to live. Can Kelly find the killer in time?

This was one of those books I was primed to like; however, the execution did not live up to my expectations.1. The early chapters ended with spoilers, such as "she didn't know it would be her last day on Earth." Now I know who is going to get killed; why should I read on? I'd rather discover it organically, please.
2. There is way too much telling and not enough showing, leading to stilted dialogue as the author tries to cram too much information into a very short space of time. There are better ways to get the material across than having to resort to putting it in characters' mouths.
3. One chapter is devoted to the sights in Boston, none of which are used elsewhere in the book. The entire chapter could be pulled without losing any continuity in the story.
4. A family chauffeur of 20+ year would never open up to a perfect stranger about family secrets. If he was that loose lipped, he'd lose his job immediately.
5. Her husband who is a sheriff encourages her to go to main for more information on possible suspects. No one in law enforcement would ever send a civilian to hunt for a killer, especially one to whom they are married and has had no training. That's way too risky behavior.
The second half of the book has better dialogue than the first, but, by then, the author has spoon fed the backstories to us. While the book isn't terrible, I was still disappointed. It had the potential to be a much better book than it is.

Murder on the East Coast A Cedar Bay Cozy Mystery edition by Dianne Harman Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks Reviews
I liked this book. It felt a bit different than others in this series as Mike wasn't along to help solve the mystery since he had to return to work. Kelly was on her own with a little help from her friends. I really was sad for Julie's mom as she had endured so much. I enjoyed the descriptions of the east coast areas and Julie's almost ex husband's inn. I always want to visit the book settings as they sound so great. Dianne Harman keeps coming up with new ideas and story lines that keeps me reading and waiting for the next one.
Dianne Harman has become my favourite author. She gives just enough information to intro to let everyone know who is who . But she hits the mystery with a bang. That is when the fun begins. I have been known to put all everything on hold just because I need to finish that book. Luckily my children are grown so I only have to feed myself and my dogs. Oh and my cats.
Wow! It was terrific and had me turning pages fast! Best part was seeing names of places like Norgolk Virgina and Virginia Beach. I am a native of Richmond Virginia! Kelly really gets into a lot this time and travels without Mike except by phones calls for his advice. Yep, it's 5 Star reading once again! A real page turner!!
This is a decent cozy. It reads like an episode of Murder She Wrote. There's some travel, a crime, a confrontation, and a twist at the end. I enjoyed the Boston-to-Maine locale.
It doesn't meander too much. However, the style of writing and dialogue, in particular, are stilted and the main characters lack charm. It also veers off into astrology briefly, but returns to earth. Grade = B-
There is no graphic sex, violence, or foul language in this book.
Unlimited or freebie day depending, Liz Lucas Cozy Mystery Read these a bit back and remember a great deal of what I read {not titles so yeah problem} but just seems as if there really is nothing new under the sun type thing, maybe too many cozies, something, but these were not as good as I remembered. The other 3 set, Blue Coyote Series was too disjointed with too many people/viewpoints and things going on. Tea Party Teddy was gross.
Liz Lucas Mystery, Blue Coyote set, lost of Cozy Bay mysteries, Tea Party Teddy, they all suffer from the same issues as does Tea Party Teddy {2 at this time which was basically unbearable to read and with no real redeeming features}, others of the same type.
Kelly, married to a sheriff, has solved mysteries before and--contrary to most cozy mysteries--her husband encourages her to fly all over the country, talking to this person & that to solve the murder mystery for the mother of the dead woman. That was a bit unbelievable but okay. Author writes well, and characters are well drawn & realistic (except as noted above) but the murderer was obvious rather earlier than our heroine figured it out. IA nice cozy for an evening's enjoyment.
A nice quick get away for Kelly and Mike, to see her friend Stephanie get her doctorate degree. While at the graduation, they met Julie a friend of Stephanie. Having no one else there, cheering her for such an accomplishment, and friendship these two women have. A toast before a gala evening, changes all plans, when Julia is found murdered. Kelly, is asked to go see Julia!s Mother, for she has ideas of who could of done this.
What turns out she thought to be a short visit, to reassure her, turns into Kelly investigating and sampling the delights of great food on the east coast. Another great cozy story, as Kelly travels to Boston, Mass, York, Maine, and Portland, Oregon. Was it because of money, her brother, or an ex- husband, or a baby given away, now an adult, and just found out who her mother was. Enjoyable for all. As well as some great recipes at the back, that Kelly enjoyed.
