Death of a Pumpkin Carver, by Lee Hollis

Death of a Pumpkin Carver (Hayley Powell Mystery)

Death of a Pumpkin Carver by Lee Hollis
My rating: 3 of 5 stars, I liked it.

Book 8 in the series, though I didn't realize it until later. Definitely can be read as a stand alone mystery.

Hayley Powell's ex, Danny, is back in town, leaving Hayley wondering what he's up to this time. When the uncle that Danny is staying with is found murdered in the local cemetery, Danny becomes the prime suspect. Now Hayley has to prove what she knows in her heart. Danny is trouble, but he's not a murderer.

This was a fun, fast read that kept me entertained all the way to the end. Hayley and her crew are amusing.

And, there are pumpkin recipes throughout the book! Yum!

My rating system:

5 Stars: Super rare rating from me. It was amazing! I loved it, got completely lost in the story and will re-read it at least yearly. Give me all the books from this author, now!

4 Stars: Somewhat rare rating. I really liked it. It really worked for me and I will likely read it again. When is the next book out?!

3 Stars: I liked it. It was a good book, with good characters and plot. I may even read it again at some point. The next book immediately goes on my TBR list.

2 Stars: It was ok. I read it, I mostly liked it, but something bothered me enough that I couldn't truly get into it. I will probably check this author out from the library in the future, since even a great author can write a bad book.

1 Star: Ugh. This one is pretty rare, too. I did not like it, it was absolutely forgettable, convoluted or unbelievable. It may even be so bad that I did not finish it! I probably won't read anymore of the series (though I may give the author another chance if they write something new).

*One thing that makes me automatically downrate a book: A love triangle, especially if they aren't cleared up quickly. They make the female look wishy-washy and the men look like idiots for putting up with it.*
