The best part of former Golden Girl's TV Series writer, Rick Cobb/Lee Holis' Cozy Mystery Stories about Hayley Powell living in Bar Harbor, ....is that she is living in Bar Harbor. Sorry Sis, but the recipes can be found in any standard cook book, or Googled, nothing outstanding, just simple pecan pie, and sweet potato fare...Still, I didn't mind the ordinary recipes, because I was enjoying the overall entertainment of visiting hayleys little Cozy mystery topsey turvy world, :) ... but then that shocking price jump knocked me flat o my keister ! lol <3 Ugh ! No way Jose' !
The folksy descriptions of local color and characters, and the humor :)
The dear character of Hayley is of self instruction manual of exactly what not to do, as an investigator, every step of the way, even dumber than Mike Faricy's Detective, Dev Haskell....and a lot less funny...
This is the best mystery plot of the bunch in these who-done-its, and I guess Lee thinks he has us hooked buy now because, after
reading all his little stories so far, for around two bucks, the next two leap up to around seven dollars ! LOL ! :)
Sorry Lee, think I'll go back to reading Mike Faricy, who offers a lot more bang for the buck...
I read the first one, as a free offer, and decided 2 dollars was okay for the next few, but was shocked to see a price of over $7.00. tagged on the next one I brought up on Amazon Kindle....and that stopped me in my tracks. :)
There are so many great reads to choose from on Kindle, or Amazon, for 2 bucks or less, that spending Seven dollars is absolutely out of the question. :)
The author may be a great TV Series writer, but I think I'm more apt to save up my pennies for a more awesome Cozy Mystery writer, such as Rita Mae Brown, with her beloved Mrs. Murphy Series <3
IF the price had continued to be reasonable, I would have happily continued with this series :)
