About book The Inconvenient Corpse: A Grace Cassidy Mystery (2000)
Contains some spoilers: I wanted to like this book, but I had a hard time with characters like Theodora (the enterprise she was funding) and Sandy (her lack of work ethic and lack of caring). The characters were also far too forgiving at the end when the murderer was revealed. Poor Maxie. Plus, despite the fact that the first guy was blackmailing everyone, no one had any remorse that a human being died. I like mysteries, but not cozy mysteries. This turned out to be a cozy mystery, but I didn’t know that until I was halfway through, and had come here to figure out what was up with the book. It involves a woman, Grace, who ends up at a bed and breakfast, where there’s a corpse in her bed.Then her husband runs off with his mistress, and takes all the money from the bank account and closes her credit cards. So Grace is stuck without money or a place to stay, so she takes a job as an innkeeper at the bed and breakfast she’s staying at. There, she tries to solve the mystery of the body in her room.Like I said, I’m not a cozy mystery person. The police guy assigned to investigate thinks Grace is super hot right off the bat, and the two batty old ladies who stay at the b&b all the time are almost instantly her bffs. At some point I think she even calls them her best friends. She’s known them a week. It’s just a little too much to accept. And, when you couple it with everyone looking guilty, it’s just too much for me.
