Scoop to Kill

I'm really enjoying how the characters in this series are "filling out". Very good whodunit!

I didn't like this book much. The murders to be solved did not take place in or near the ice cream shop owned by the main character. The plot was dialogue driven in a Texan vernacular I found distracting.

I liked this second book in the series - but probably not as much as the first one. I might just not have been relaxed enough to enjoy the book, but it didn't seem to hold my attention as much. The plot was good, although I guessed the final crime and whodunit about midway through. I found all the secondary characters very vivid and felt their backgrounds were expanded from the first book, but I didn't feel the same way about the main character, Tully. Perhaps that was why this one didn't get 4 stars from me. Still, I will look for the next book and see what happens.
