Hey everyone! Today I have a review for Sabotage at Cedar Creek by Janice Thompson! Check out more info below.
BLURB
Who Would Sabotage the New B&B?
Breathe in the nostalgia of everything old red truck in book two of a new cozy mystery series.
It’s summertime in Mabank, Texas, and the Hadley family’s new antique business is open and running well with Tilly, the red antique truck, as its mascot. Raelynn Hadley enjoys driving Grandpa’s truck around as she seeks out antiques for her family’s store.
Raelynn is excited that her best friend, Tasha, will soon open a new vacation rental to accommodate the area’s growing tourism, but an unexpected act of sabotage threatens to spoil all that Tasha has worked for.
Raelynn immediately gets to work sleuthing out who could be behind the crime. Could it be the bitter neighbor, intent on spoiling Tasha’s plans? Perhaps it’s a nearby resort owner, worried about the potential loss of revenue. Maybe it’s the former owner’s daughter who was left out of the will and believes the home should be hers. Or maybe it’s the squatter who had taken up residence in the home before renovations. Raelynn is determined to solve the mystery for her friend in time for opening day.

REVIEW
I gave this one a solid 3/5 rating. I absolutely adore just about everything Janice Thompson writes, but this one just seemed to fall a little flat. It's a cute story with light mystery elements, but the prose just wasn't quite on-par with what I expect when I pick up one of Thompson's books, and the characters seemed to fall kind of flat or repetitive (and they're usually the most memorable part of her stories!) I liked the premise of the story overall, and there were definitely some interesting spots that kept me turning pages, but it wasn't one I would reread or really dwell on after the fact.
I read an eARC from Netgalley; all opinions are my own.
