Mörderische Verstrickungen by Traci Hall

Go to review page

Did not finish book. Stopped at 52%.
very repetitive (Paisley always remembering finding the body and calling her a 'poor girl's), and found the main character s behavior quite annoying, actually I only liked the parts about wool and knitting.
Final straw was Paisley pouring coffee over that yarn company guy. That's a  least intentional damage to property, if not personal injury (if the coffee was very hot), and that was too much of this annoying behavior. For somebody behaving like they are on the moral high ground, this was the wrong thing to do to be credible or authentic.
