Jessica Fletcher

Jessica Fletcher is pitching in to help Cabot Cove's first Lobster Festival by writing an article about the lifestyle of the local lobstermen. But instead of getting the story, she becomes tangled in a net of intrigue and murder. And she better sink her claws into this puzzling case-or she may find herself becoming the next catch of the day.

The setting is nice, I like that this is a book set in Cabot Cove and different from all the others set abroad.

I knew next to nothing about lobster fishing. It’s not exactly the most fascinating topic but it’s definitely nice to read about and get to know more.

The opening in medias res is different from the other books in the series and definitely made me want to read in order to see how Jessical would get out of that pickle. (view spoiler)[I was actually quite nervous when the boat was sinking and she had to find a way to survive. (hide spoiler)]

The mystery is never very complex but it was still fun to read. The bad guy was a bit too obvious, but I was still a bit surprised by the end.

I think these books are not of extremely high quality but they have that something that makes me get back to them. I really enjoy reading about Jessica and her life, and the little things she does like having a light dinner or reading before bed. These are definitely very cozy mysteries.
