Erin *Proud Book Hoarder*'s Reviews > Blessed Is The Busybody

The story doesn't stay consistently gripping, but there are a surprising number of actual twists for a cozy mystery later on. Major secrets and things not guessed. The mystery itself is interesting and I liked that it had a dash of humor from time to time. For being a minister's wife, the lead is realistic - she's not pious, she's a bit judgmental at times, she has a sense of humor, she's not afraid to get the groove on with hubby, and the scene where she accidentally mixed in some real-life photos in her powerpoint presentation was the funniest scene. Toss in a mother in law that doesn't like her, feeling used because she's the wife of the pastor, and you have a unique look into her station in life that feels more legit than usual.

Is it just me or do I wish she were single and could purse the steam with the local hunky detective? I like beginnings of mystery series to also be beginnings of relationships for the most part, so I had to get used to the husband patrol, as sweet as he may be.
