Case of the bayfront murderable Helping her are her best friend and employee Moheenie as well as Moheenie s husband Ranger But surely the handsome detective assigned to the case can handle the job right Well yes he can but Terza and Moheenie love reading murder mysteries and now they have a chance to put their solving skills to real life use if they can keep out of the detective s way. Case of the bayfront murderjay What a fun story I so enjoyed getting to know Terza and her friends Plus her family What a loving boisterous Italian family in the heart of San Diego s Little Italy Plus there s a hint of a potential romance too This is book one in a series by author S. Case of the bayfront murdering K Derban A cozy mystery set in a cute little Italy town in California I was invested in the characters than the story I really liked Terza and Moheenie They were a great pair and loved their friendship and antics I also really enjoyed Terza s Italian family I have been fascinated by food trucks and catering lately so getting to read a cozy mystery set around that was great On the mystery side of things it was pretty good but I felt was very easy to solve I actually was confused at first because it couldn t be that easy but it was It s of a following the character trying to solve the mystery rather than trying to solve it yourself I am intrigued by the characters as well as the possible romance triangle to see who she winds up with and the next mystery 3. Case of the bayfront murderjoy K DerbanThe First Macaroni on Wheels MysteryTerza Tiepolo is known for her catering company Macaroni on Wheels her love of family and friends and her love of mysteries as proven by her membership to a mystery book club where she s always on top of their monthly whodunit competition Arriving at a client s home to cater his dinner party she finds his murdered body Though sad at the death of her client Terza sees it as an opportunity to really put her sleuthing skills to the test With her best friend Moheenie by her side she ll search for clues as she prepares for the week s catering events And if that provides contact with the tall dark and mysterious Detective Garza so much the better Terza Tiepolo is a delightful protagonist. Murder on the waterfront 1943 She s witty caring and smart She is also quite young so I find it a bit disconcerting that she s lamenting not being married at 23 I appreciate her relationship with both family and friends It s a joyful celebration as they make it a point to gather together to eat and play on a regular basis I liked the mystery and how Terza and Moheenie go about solving it The mystery was well plotted with an ingenious murder While Detective Garza is certainly swoon worthy I really got a kick out of Jacob Radovan the Medical Examiner. Case of the bayfront murderforce One thing I could have done with less of was the religiosity There s a description of Terza reading her bible every morning before calling her mom although I admit the question and answer section that followed with her dad was cute However an entire chapter albeit a short one quoting the bible and praising God was a bit much for me It seems that public praise of God is fundamental to the author s personal life so this is a natural offshoot for her I m grateful that it s not preachy but I wish she would have been subtle incorporating her religious praise With droolworthy descriptions of Italian delicacies CASE OF THE BAYFRONT MURDER is a lighthearted mystery combining family friendship and that delicious food with a puzzling murder Pass me a slice of that Sart Di Riso then join me for a rousing game of bocce ball and don t forget some gelato while I wait for Terza s next mystery S. Case of the bayfront murders K Derban Coming off of some intense suspense novels this was quite the change of pace for me Case of the Bayfront Murder is a cozy murder mystery and my first time reading one It reminds me of Aurora Tea Garden meets the family dinners on Blue Bloods It was an easy read and fairly enjoyable The character development was good I did find myself wanting a little bit I hope the series builds on that a little bit I loved the friendship between Terza and Moheenie Their love for murder mystery s finds them in the right place at the right time to try to solve a real life murder The storyline kept on pace but at times it was a little hard to keep focus and found myself putting the book down It didn t quite hold my engagement as much as I would have liked This would be a good book for a vacation The setting was great I felt like I was walking through little Italy The relationship aspect between Terza and Conner is a friendship turned budding relationship He ends up on an expected trip and leaves so we don t really tie that relationship up But hopefully we will get later on in the series S. Case of the bayfront murderhome K Derban did have faith in the book Though not quite as intertwined as I would like to see The last chapter does focus on Terza s relationship with God But it is of an afterthought and only one chapter The Christian aspect was of an afterthought I received a complimentary copy from the author and voluntarily chose to review it All opinions are my own S. Case of the bayfront murdercoach The dialogue is stiff formal and on the nose It frequently felt like the author was speaking to the reader and telling the reader things the author thought they should know rather than allowing it to come from the characters organically Instead of switching to pronouns the characters names were overused in the narrative. Case of the bayfront murder epub pdf The romance was sweet though I thought it was odd that the detective would be snippy with her and flirt with her during the same conversation Also I didn t like Connor pushing Terza to let him come to her apartment. Case of the bayfront murder epub free Overall it was humorous and interesting I thought the murder weapon was a unique choice I wish it had suspects and mystery elements for the reader to try to solve The catering company Macaroni on Wheels is a cute name but doesn t really make me think of Italian Food Also I would have loved for the story to go back to the mystery book club and maybe finish there S.
