This is the first book in a new series by one of my favorite authors Becky Clark who happens to also be a fave author of all things ha-ha funny. I just loved this book and can’t wait for the next!
My Goodreads review:
Puzzling Ink by Becky Clark
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I love the Mystery Writer’s Mystery series from this writer, and this series is starting off a winner just like that series. It was so funny, and I did find myself laughing out loud in parts. There’s just something so fun about her writing style! Quinn was a great character, and I got a kick out of her wanting to help her boss Jake when he was accused of murder. And boy did she go to some lengths to help him, but I couldn’t blame her for wanting that diner to get back to normal.
Oh her parents especially her mom were so hilarious! That woman had no fear of any ingredient in the kitchen and experimented with the weirdest concoctions which made her cooking for the diner that much more hysterical. I loved Loma’s character and hope that despite their age difference, she and Quinn continue to be good friends in the series. I definitely hadn’t pegged the killer, great twist and a nail biting but still funny in places (“Did you just–staple me?”–I was almost on the floor picturing that! Read it and you’ll see!). Loma got to prove just what an awesome pal she was, Jake got his diner back, well sort of, and I’m super anxious to read the next book!
I was excited to win this copy of the book from Goodreads, but trust me, I would have bought it had I not won! It’s that good.
