Review – The Fruitcake Murders

January 16, 2017 By The Suspense Zone

An incredibly well crafted cozy mystery!

I was fascinated with the variety of personalities in the three main characters: Lane Walker, Tiffany Clayton, and Bret Garner. There was some overlapping of traits amongst them as well as many differences. I especially liked the way Tiffany was able to put both of the men in their places at times. It was apparent to me that even though there was friction between each pair there was a lot of respect also.

The mystery itself was so well developed and slowly unfolded that I was quickly caught up in it. I was feverishly trying to sort the clues out so I could solve the case before the unveiling of the solution. There were a number of humorous situations and verbal put downs interspersed throughout the story.

I was captivated by all of the details about life in 1946 that were included. I really enjoyed the description of how cars were started at that time. I wish my parents were still alive so I could have them read it and confirm the accuracy of it.

I grew up loving to read. My parents were both readers and each of them always had a book they were working on. Some of my favorites were: Nancy Drew, The Hardy Boys, Trixie Beldon, and many other mystery series.
