Murder at the B & B

Murder at the B & B: A Maplewood Bay Cozy Mystery

⭐️⭐️⭐️ 

When Blakey Monroe arrived in Maplewood Bay to take over her inherited B & B, she was not expecting a full house, major repairs and a dead body at breakfast. Undeterred, Blakely teams up with her neighbor, Bobby, to find the killer and bring peace back to Maplewood Bay. 

The author used the point of view of both Blakely and Bobby to tell this story. I thought this was clever and made it interesting to hear from both characters. When I started this book, I was engaged with the characters and premise, but towards the end, some issues popped up that affected my enjoyment of the story. It seemed to me that the culprit came out of nowhere and the reason behind the murder was a little confusing. Also, the wrap up at the end of the book seemed to be a bit redundant. All that being said, I do think this author shows a lot of promise and I look forward to watching her grow as a writer.
