When Murder and a series of crimes start happening in the
small sleepy village of Mount Penn. The
Thursday Morning Breakfast club leader Lillie May is asked to investigate. Soon
Lillie May and her chums become amateur sleuths. Can they catch the killer
before they strike again? And restore the village back into the quiet, peaceful
village that it was.
The story opens with a fantastic first line that you think
wow! This is going to be something amazing. But sadly for me after that it
become a bit of a let-down. There is far too much small talk that simply does
not seem to go anywhere, or could hold my interest. The part in the story where
the detective investigating the murder asks the group to investigate the murder
is just so unrealistic. In real life this would be seen as interfering with a
police investigation, but the part that really made me not warm to this story
at all, was when the group are told that they are to help investigate the
murder the woman seem to show delight, and cheer like they have won a
competition, now considering this is a small community were everyone knows each
other’s business, and each other than surely it would make more sense for a
more serious and caring response? I also found there were too many characters
in the book, and hard to keep up with everything.
Usually for a murder mystery book I can’t wait to find out who
done it, and to see if I had guessed the right suspect, but this was so dull
that I was not bothered. It was like there was something missing. I think the idea for the story could have been
a really good one, with some sequel stories, but the story just was not strong
enough to maintain a good murder mystery for me.
