My Review
Death By Intermission is a cozy mystery set in Snowberry Creek, Washington. Abby McCree organizes a Movies in the Park event, but discovers a body at the end of one of the screenings. The suspect in the murder turns out to be her mother's boyfriend, so Abby sets out to solve the mystery.
I wanted to read this book because I love cozy mysteries and was intrigued by the Movies in the Park storyline. This is my first book in the Abby McCree Mystery series. I picked up on the characters and setting right way, and it worked fine as a standalone.
This was a fun, fast paced cozy mystery. I liked the small town setting, the characters (especially Abby and her boyfriend/tenant, Tripp), and her lovable, protective Mastiff dog, Zeke. The tension between Abby and her mother was a major part of this novel, and it was well done and realistic.
The mystery aspects of the novel were well done. It kept me guessing right up to the denouement.
I recommend Death By Intermission for fans of cozy mysteries, and especially for anyone who enjoys amateur sleuths and small town settings.
