Maid to Murder (Pennyfoot Hotel Mystery Series, 12)

Rating:
Summary: Disappointing
Review: I was very disappointed by my first visit to the Pennyfoot. This is 12th in the series and the author must be ready to "get rid" of the characters and it shows. The plot is rushed and contrived and the characters were stereotypes one and all. Perhaps if I had been following the series through several books I would have felt differently. Recommend not purchasing, instead borrow from library.

Summary: Cozy with an Edge.
Review: In the final book of this mystery series, Cecily and Baxter have to solve the most sinister, frightening crime the Pennyfoot has ever had. Maids are being murdered in the hotel and the clues are puzzling.

As always, there are enough twist and turns to keep you guessing and enough activities and characters to keep you entertained. Trust me, you will not be disappointed.

I have read every book in the Pennyfoot series and not one has ever fell short of my expectations. Ms. Kingsbury has created a memorable series with delightful characters that can be enjoyed over and over again.

Summary: I cried at the ending!
Review: Kate Kingsbury does it again with a smashing book of murder and intrigue at the Pennyfoot Hotel. The way she describes the hotel and surrounding environs makes me wish I had a Tardis and could go back in time to such a seemingly simple time and place.

The ending is truly creepy and I felt apprehension and fear. Wow! What a story from a terrific story teller!

Although there is great joy for the characters in the book, it is always sad in real life to see the apparent end of one of your favorite series. Kate, if you're reading this, I hope you have future plans for the Pennyfoot and its inhabitants.
