A Killer Maize, by Paige Shelton

A Killer MaizeA Killer Maize by Paige Shelton
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Book 4 in the Farmers' Market series. I really like this series, but this one feels like the weakest of the lot. The last quarter of the book dragged for me. (view spoiler)

One thing I definitely liked about the book is that Becca finally resolves the annoying love triangle that she had been stringing along for way too long. the love triangle trope in cozy mysteries is seriously starting to get on my nerves. Authors ask us to suspend reality while reading their books, putting in convoluted plot lines, and then they throw in the love triangle, and it's almost too much for me to bare (most of us know that finding one significant other is hard enough, finding a potential second S.O., nope. Heading into Mary Sue territory there...)

All in all, I liked most of the book and I certainly like the series well enough to continue on, with help from my local library.</["br"]></["br"]></["br"]></["br"]>
