My 1 star review of Iced to Death (A Gourmet De-Lite Mystery, #3) by Peg Cochran:-

Spoiler:

Something is happening to me. I can easily guess most cozies's culprits. I also am able to separate the wheat from the chaff with unerring sharpness. I did guess the murderer's identity here but it's not a reward, believe me.

As the conclusion took shape, I saw Gigi, the main character, become more and more unlikeable. The book had a Jekyll and Hyde attribute.

The author knows about characterization. She knows how to create a character that's reasonably authentic and real. But she ought to have spent more time researching. Nothing is definite but maybe she would have stumbled upon a way to a good plot.
