Trick Or Treachery

I was a bit disappointed by this story. It felt at times exactly like the plot of one of the tv show‘s episodes. Not ver inventive. I think some things ended up being different but generally I remembered the inventor‘s death.

The first 80 pages of this book, until the murder, were not great. I was getting really bored and I was about to just leave this.
But then the murder happened, and the story picked up.

Once again, the Cabot Cove setting isn't exactly my favourite, but it didn't bother me that much here.
I also was so disappointed we didn't get all the clues to try and figure out the murderer on our own but the reward was a good living room explanation that reminded me of Poirot.

I liked how many characters were introduced, but I was sad that most of the investigation was only on a couple of them, none of which was the actual killer.
Lastly, the one thing that left me bothered was the supernatural element. This had happened in another of this novels and I was not impressed, I like mysteries to be realistic and not involve any magical elements, so the ending was rather silly for me.

But in general it was a good book and I am satisfied by it.
