Murder Under Blue Skies

Rating:
Summary: I Loved It!
Review: I am thankful for books like this one. I quickly tire of all the sex and violence our society is saturated with daily. It was refreshing to me to read "Murder Under Blue Skies" because I didn't have to worry about vulgar language, gratuitous sex, or unnecessary violence. I enjoyed the easy and relaxing read! Way to go Mr. Scott!!!!!! I look forward to "Murder in the Mist".

Review: To be honest I read this book because I enjoy Willard Scott on NBC's Today's Show and other endeavors. I found the book entertaining and tried to figure out "who done it." It also caught my attention because I too would like to own a B&B somewhere. Perhaps not in Virginia but in upstate New York. All that on the side "Murder Under Blue Skies," was a good read but not what I would call a page turner until near the end when the killer was about to be caught. This was the first Stanley Waters mystery. "Murder in the Midst" which follows is next on my to read list.

Summary: Definitely a great weekend or rainy day read!
Review: You can definitely tell that the protagonist (Stanley Waters) was modeled after Willard Scott, but in this his first book (in collaboration with Bill Crider), I think Mr. Scott has a hit. From the opening page where the victim falls face first into a bowl of salsa dip, through the rest of the book in fictional Higgins, Virginia, it is definitely a trip worth making. The characters, despite all their faults and complexities, are fun to follow. This is an excellent first book, and is great if you are looking for a quick, fun read.
