Murder, Mayhem and Bliss

Myrtle Grove Garden Club Mystery Series, Book 1

By: Loulou Harrington

Narrated by: Vanessa Daniels

Nothing much happens in Myrtle Grove, Oklahoma. So when prominent businessman Harry Kerr is discovered face down in his pool shortly after dawn, the breakfast crowd in Jesse Camden's tearoom is buzzing. Recognizing the name, Jesse hurries to her friend Vivian Windsor, Myrtle Grove's resident oil heiress. Vivian is the great-aunt to Bliss Kerr, widow of the deceased and soon-to-be prime suspect in his suspicious death.

Clearing Bliss and finding the real murderer isn't what Jesse means when she offers her assistance. And wrangling an eager band of helpers while chasing a tangle of leads across the countryside, tripping over deputies and evidence along the way, isn't her first choice for her weekend. But here she is, and here she will be, hearing secrets no one should know, and discovering betrayals no one could live with, until Jesse finds her way through the maze of deceit to uncover the real killer.

stuffy and slow

i couldn't get into characters or the story they were rich nobs and i just didn't like it

Not Good

Based on the reviews of this book, I thought I would enjoy this cozy mystery. I was wrong. The characters are flat and their behavior and interactions with each other unbelievable. Bliss claims to love her husband, but she appreciates and befriends the woman who an affair with her husband. While claiming to love her husband so much, Bliss is also in love with her best friends husband. And, his wife doesn't seem to mind. There are so many things wrong with this book that I stopped reading it and returned it.
