This book definitely qualifies for the moniker "cozy mystery". I never once felt that anything was high stakes. It was, in fact, less than compelling. Which is difficult to achieve when dealing with murder. ( )

As this is a cozy mystery book there are lots of eccentric people and lots of humor, at least it tries to be humorous. However, I did find it hard to really enjoy PLAID AND PLAGIARISM. Despite the bookstore and all. Sure, there were moments that I enjoyed, a man and his dog that kept on disappearing throughout the book. One minute there, the next gone. The old lady that just showed up one day in the bookstore, not saying a word, just sitting there knitting. But, the mystery just never really got to me. I felt that, despite this being a fairly short book, it was hard for me to concentrate on the story.

READ THE REST OF THE REVIEW OVER AT FRESH FICTION! ( )

I loved this book. It is written where you feel like you are right there in Scotland at the bookstore with Janet, Christine, Tallie and Summer. I think the quirky characters just make this book. I couldn't put it down and can't wait to read the next one. ( )

Too busy, solution seems like an afterthought.

I found this book to be slow moving with a particularly unlikeable protagonist. This was my first "cozy mystery"-- whatever in the hell that is-- and it will probably be my last. I think I trudged all the way through this book to find out who commited the murder. I wish I had not wasted the time and just skipped to the last chapter ( )
