Scornful Scones

Cozy Corgi Mysteries Series, Book 5

With summer approaching, Estes Park is abuzz with flowers, baking, tourists, and...murder.

Tourist season is about to begin, and the lovely weather has Winifred Page and her corgi sidekick, Watson, leaving the comfort of the Cozy Corgi Bookshop and Bakery to reluctantly attend a celebration at the Black Bear Roaster coffee shop. But a chill of uncertainty settles over Fred when a choking death doesn't seem so accidental - despite the dry, hazardous scones.

As Fred and Police Sergeant Branson Wexler rekindle a possible romance, Fred shares her suspicions. But is she seeing murder at every turn? Learning to trust her gut feelings, Fred risks the ire of the coffee shop owner to investigate not one but two deaths.

As suspects and motives abound, old resentments are uncovered, and Fred and Watson build new friendships even as they follow the crumbs to find clues to a killer.

Thumbs up

First book from Mildred That I was able to figure out who done it before the end. However, I would like to see some of the books with Fred, helping solve a crime other than murder, because if it keeps going this way, the only people left in town will be her family.

Cute mystery

I really enjoyed this book & others by this author. The Corgi element is delightful & funny.

Scornful Scones

I loved getting into the mystery. I had no clue who the killer was going to be and it was a complete shock to me when it was revealed. I loved the new characters introduced and I really enjoyed relaxing into this story.

narration

I love the characters and storyline but in my opinion the narrator's voice is too young for Fred, who is in her late 30s.

How can you go wrong 👍🏻

Another great story in this series. If you haven’t started this series make sure to listen to the first one. Even though each story can stand on its own, why should it?
