Michaele's Reviews > Apple Turnover Murder

** spoiler alert ** I really didn't like this book. I've read every one in the series but I doubt I will read anymore. The murder didn't take place until more than 100 pages in but I had already figured out who was going to be murdered, who was going to do it, and why. It could not have been more predictable.

I am not fond of love triangles to begin with but the one in this series is incredibly obnoxious and makes the lead character completely unlikable. The last few books made it seem like she was leaning towards Norman because she didn't like that Mike was seeing other women- what a hypocrite! She expects 2 men to be faithful to her but she doesn't have to be faithful to either one of them?! How ridiculous (and obnoxious) is that? And up until this book Norman has been a bit of a spineless lap dog and suddenly he starts acting shady? How out of character is that?

Furthermore, she is a condescending, know-it-all, who apparently thinks she's a detective because she bumbles around "investigating" until she figures out who the murderer is about 3 seconds before they try to kill her after she has gone somewhere secluded with them or gone somewhere secluded to meet with them- you'd think she'd learn not to do that after the first few murders she "investigated."

So annoying.
