Blueberry Cobbler Blackmail by Jodi Rath

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. I was not financially compensated and all opinions are 100 percent mine.

First of all, this is a cozy mystery in that there is no profanity or gratuitous violence. However, there are a couple moments with minor implied bedroom scenes. Also, there is a same-sex relationship included but no disturbing details included about that relationship. But none of this affects the rating I gave the book.

I realize this is not the first book of the series. While I appreciate the fact that the author has provided a character list with brief descriptions at the beginning of the book, I still would recommend anyone who really would like to read this series to start at the beginning of the series. Even though I was able to navigate the story with relative ease by beginning with this book, I believe I would have had an easier time starting at the beginning of the series.

The comedy of this book was definitely the strength of this book in my opinion. There were a few classic moments that added to my overall enjoyment of the story.

I also commend the author for doing her research for this book. Not every author can write so authentically when setting a book in a somewhat unfamiliar place. She captured the spirit if the people and surroundings of Santo Domingo.

I do admit that I prefer a bit more action in my mysteries and I struggled to invest myself in the characters and the story of this mystery. I recognize the obvious talent of the author, but I would have preferred more “meat” from this book. I happily give this book a 3.5 rating, and if someone is looking for a light, entertaining mystery that is a bit out-of-the-box, this may be the book to read.
