What a crazy book cover. This book presents the author's name in large print at the top of the cover, Leslie Meier and the at the bottom of the cover int he same green large typeface, Halloween Party Murder.
So I started reading the mystery and found it was an entertaining simple cozy mystery novel. Just what I was looking for, a mindless entertainment for a weekend read. Then all of a sudden half way through the book, the mystery seemed to be solved. Wait what?!?! Yes that was it. A somewhat weak finish, so more of a short story than a novel.
But still so many pages left in the book and it was starting over with chapter one...
Finally I realized that there were really three stories in this book. Looking back at the book cover I realized that there were tow other authors listed in smaller font. It turns out that maybe this is a way for big name, Meier to write shorter book and to help promote to lesser known authors with their short mystery stories. Lee Hollis and Barbara Ross are the other authors in this book. I did not enjoy Hollis's book at all and Ross's book was ok but not really enticing.
So I am not really recommending this book .... quick reading but not fulfilling.
