Gourd to Death (A Pie Town Mystery Book 5)
By: Kirsten Weiss
Rating: 5 of 5
This is one of my favorite cozy mystery series. It has a great plot, funny characters and crazy funny and outlandish happenings.
It’s coming up on Halloween in San Nicholas and what else could make the holiday sing than a pumpkin festival?
Val Harris, the owner of Pie Town (everyone’s favorite pie shop in town – not to mention the only one), has been tasked with being one of the judges of the pumpkin pie contest. She can’t compete because she is a professional but it seems like all sorts of other people are jumping in.
The idea of giant pumpkins sounds great until a body is found squished beneath one. The townsfolk get up in arms over the thought that sabotage of the festival is going on.
Val, on the other hand, is concerned with finding out who murdered the victim.
The story veers all over the place, as is usual with this series. It ties it all nicely together at the end. I had an idea of whodunnit but did not get the whydunnit until close to the end.
I enjoyed the laughs and the time spent with my friends (old and new) in San Nicholas!
I was provided a digital advance reader copy of this book by the publisher via Netgalley.
