A Zen For Murder (Mooseamuck Island Cozy Mystery Series)

Worst book I have ever paid money for. Cliched, trite, banal, insipid, and just plain awful. I am at a loss trying to see how anyone could have liked this drivel.

Fun, short mystery. Easy read, not to many twists and turns.

Chief of Police officer Robby Skinner calls Detective Frank Zambuco from the mainland when he is called to the scene of the body of psychic Zoila Rivers. It's obvious that she was murdered and he didn't have the experience to investigate a murder.

Also on the island is Robby's aunt, Claire Watkins; a trained clinical psychologist, and Dominic Benedetti; a retired detective from Boston, who had worked several cases with Claire. They did not necessarily like each other but got the job done. Can they put their professional feelings towards each other aside and solve another crime. Before the wrong person is arrested for the murder, or before another innocent person is also murdered.

This is another great story from Leighann Dobbins. She continues to put out quality stories with lots of humor and ones also that has very little if any profanity or innuendo in them.

This book might engage a preteen but more mature mystery readers will probably find it plodding. The plot is good but the written story line is unnecessarily repetitive, wordy, and simple.

thank you

I've read some of the Lexi baker series and got tired of the predictable characters. This series is refreshingly different and noticeably better quality of writing. Looking forward to reading the next one.

Good story line but several spelling (gram.) errors.

Nice book but not as good as I had hoped. However, everyone should decide for them self. I liked the larger print.

Nice Maine setting and interesting main characters. A quick, pleasurable read. I would like to read more stories starring Claire and Dom.

Not much of a story. No interesting plot.
