My mother loves those. 👍✨La La in the Libraryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18253014225202985934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5128730358349082407.post-10156246276849749352020-06-20T16:54:25.120-05:002020-06-20T16:54:25.120-05:00I am so with you on all of these! One of the books...I am so with you on all of these! One of the books I read recently had a plethora of characters, and it was the first in a new series, so there was no one I already knew. I enjoyed the book, but I ended up going back to the beginning and making myself a "cast of characters" list as each character was introduced, just so I could keep track.<br /><br />And omigosh, #5!

I hate too many characters in any book, and any sleuth who takes a child to confront a would be/might be murderer is downright dumb!Kathryn Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08581790816548017087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5128730358349082407.post-64365125398442789182020-06-20T15:39:10.134-05:002020-06-20T15:39:10.134-05:00Oh, my yes, number 5 drives me INSANE!

In an industrial plant? Please tell me another character reported her for child endangerment.Beahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17455117466213636141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5128730358349082407.post-41010211978001452292020-06-20T09:29:04.355-05:002020-06-20T09:29:04.355-05:00Yes I hate a too stupid to live character in any g...Yes I hate a too stupid to live character in any genre. One thing that always puts me off cozies is that the MC or a friend or family member is always blamed for a death by dumb local cops!chucklesthescothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09423562114343636659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5128730358349082407.post-78616506524319342762020-06-19T23:03:47.474-05:002020-06-19T23:03:47.474-05:00I agree with all of these.

I'm picky about which ones I read because a lot of the reasons you mention in this list. <br /><br />Susan<br />www.blogginboutbooks.comSusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05344704891037668456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5128730358349082407.post-52529919245710073042020-06-19T22:09:05.919-05:002020-06-19T22:09:05.919-05:00I am so there with #4!

I mean how am I suppose to figure it out if the killer isn't even really in the book till the sleuth figures it out!Stormihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07157799090129414984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5128730358349082407.post-49687303643918356112020-06-19T08:47:30.616-05:002020-06-19T08:47:30.616-05:00I like them all especially No.1.
