Scornful Scones (A Cozy Corgi Mystery) by Mildred Abbott | Cat's Review & #giveaway @MAcozymystery

With summer approaching, Estes Park is abuzz with flowers, baking, tourists, and… murder. 

Tourist season is about to begin, and the lovely weather has Winifred Page and her corgi sidekick, Watson, leaving the comfort of the Cozy Corgi Bookshop and Bakery to reluctantly attend a celebration at the Black Bear Roaster coffee shop. But a chill of uncertainty settles over Fred when a choking death doesn’t seem so accidental—despite the dry, hazardous scones.

As Fred and Police Sergeant Branson Wexler rekindle a possible romance, Fred shares her suspicions. But is she seeing murder at every turn? Learning to trust her gut feelings, Fred risks the ire of the coffee shop owner to investigate not one, but two, deaths. 

As suspects and motives abound, old resentments are uncovered, and Fred and Watson build new friendships even as they follow the crumbs to find clues to a killer.

Cat gives this one 5 Meows... no purrs ( sorry guys this isn't a romance so no sexy times!)

Scornful Scones is book five in the series but you can read them as stand alone, but it's more fun in order! This way you do have a better understanding of all the characters.  And man oh man is there a lot of characters! 

Fred (Winifred) is back to sort of dating Branson, though she still hasn't written Leo off all the way either. It looks like Katie and Leo are pretty cozy. I couldn't help the pun) and we get to see more of Paulie and his fastidious corgis Flotsum and Jetsum. 

Things seem to have settled down on the murder front until Eustace Beaker chokes on a scone at Carla's debut of her new brand and son. (if you've read the others you know this is a running joke about Carla's scones being so dry you could choke on them) But Fred is unconvinced and up to her snooping. 

There are many twists and turns, and its hard to guess the real killer.  The story is fun to read and who doesn't like cute corgis? I also love the recipes in the back of the book! 

Reading the Cozy Corgi series is pretty much all you need to know about Mildred. In real life, she's obsessed with everything she writes about: Corgis, Books, Cozy Mountain Towns, and Baked Goods. She's not obsessed with murder, however. At least not at her own hands (nor paid for... no contract killing here). But since childhood, starting with Nancy Drew, trying to figure out who-dun-it has played a formative role in her personality. Having Fred and Watson stroll into her mind was a touch of kismet.
