Murder on the Half Shelf
by Lorna Barrett
I don't know what it is about this series that keeps me reading it. Tricia is a doormat who doesn't stand up for herself. Angelica needs a swift punch in the nose for being a selfish, self-absorbed narcissistic pain in the butt. Chief Baker can't seem to detect his way through a box of donuts. And the rest of the cast of characters are busybody gossips. So why can't I stop reading it? I don't know. I didn't figure out who the murderer was because there was little to no mention of them or their motive until the end of the book. As for the subplot, I figured out the source of the gifts from the beginning, it wasn't hard to suss out if you've read the previous books. So only 2 stars for this one, I'd have given it more if Angelica wasn't such an annoying witch and the police department actually learned how to solve a crime.
