Color Me Murder

Pen & Ink Series, Book 1

De: Krista Davis

Narrado por: Rebecca Mitchell

By day, Florrie Fox manages Color Me Read bookstore in Georgetown, Washington D.C. By night, she creates her own intricately detailed coloring books for adults, filling the pages with objects that catch her eye. There's plenty of inspiration in her new apartment - a beautiful carriage house belonging to Professor John Maxwell, Florrie's boss. He offers the property to Florrie rent-free with one condition - she must move in immediately to prevent his covetous sister and nephew from trying to claim it.

When the professor's nephew, Delbert, arrives, he proves just as sketchy as Florrie feared. But the following morning, Delbert has vanished. It's not until she visits the third floor of the store that Florrie makes a tragic discovery - there's a trap door in the landing, and a dead Delbert inside. The esteemed Professor Maxwell is an obvious suspect, but Florrie is certain this case isn't so black and white. Doodling clues, she begins to consider other colorful characters on the scene, all with a motive for murder. With a killer drawing closer, Florrie will need to think outside the lines...before death makes his mark again.

Color me murder slow start fantastic end.

The book Color me Picks up in the middle and has a great ending. Many colorful characters it occurs down in the DC Georgetown Alexandria area something I'm familiar with so I stuck it out and I'm glad I did I enjoyed the book.

Read in order

Great story line. Lots of ooooh, got to be him/her moments. Every one has a Norman.

Entertaining

Good, entertaining read. This was a new author for me and I will definitely be reading more of her books. I enjoy a good cozy mystery, and that is exactly what this series is.

COZY LIGHT

This was an enjoyable cozy with no sex or swearing. If a regular cozy has 5 common elements, this book has 2 of the elements. It was a nice change of pace from heavy murder mysteries and an enjoyable read before falling asleep. I've read the second book in the series and will read more .

Outstanding

Another high quality cozy mystery series from a talented author! I'm definitely enjoying the characters dynamics, the suspense and oh the gossip!

excellent descriptions

greatly enjoyed the attention to detail in scene descriptions and subtle character building. but I did immediately figure out who the killer was, which is why it's four stars out of five

Color Me Happy

Such a cute cozy mystery. It was slightly off the beaten path and I truly enjoyed it

Entertaining!

I enjoyed the story! The plot, twist, characters were all great. I played this book throughout my entire day as it captured my intention and never board me. Excited to listen to the next one.

Not one of her better books…

This story was very hard to get through. I’ve read many Krista Davis books before (Diva Series) but this one really missed the mark. The story seemed disjointed and contrived. Did not enjoy it at all. I love reading series but I think I’ll pass on this one.
