Great characters and and plot done in a unexpected way. I have read the three books. Real memorable characters and plots.
This book has a fast pace, realistically flawed but likeable characters, and satisfactory endings to all the plot threads. Have to look for the first two books now.
This cozy, humorous story has it all—a murder to be solved, a cast full of likeable characters, and even a bunch of small, mysterious white creatures. Naked leprechauns? Aliens? And what does a triceratops have to do with the story’s events? The story begins with Morgan Iverson at the shooting range. She, along with the help of her friends, is learning how to fire a rifle. They hear a great explosion coming from further up the hill from where her rock shop sits. This explosion is followed by shouting and more gunshots. Her neighbor, the recluse Eustace Day has been killed. The police insist that he was the victim of his own booby traps. But his granddaughter insists it was murder. Morgan, along with the help of her newspaper reporter who is running for city office, Kurt Willard, decides to tackle the case. The mystery takes a back seat until about the middle of the book, but is always present. Then the twist and turns come, surprising the reader. In the meantime, the reader is engaged in the lives of Morgan and her family and friends. They are such fascinating characters, that I didn’t mind waiting for the mystery to be solved. Dilts’ easy flowing style makes for an easy and fast read. It’s a book to definitely enjoy. I know this is the third in the series, and I plan to buy the first two. Yes, the book is that entertaining.
I anxiously await each of the Stone Cold novels! I feel as though I personally know the characters. Maybe it is because I also live in Colorado, but they feel like home to me. The story line is delightfully unpredictable and the writing nicely descriptive. I appreciate that there is some romance, but the audience is not invited into the bedroom so to speak…a refreshing change from most current novels! All audiences can enjoy this book and find themselves waiting for the next one…
Stone Cold Blooded starts out with a bang–literally–and keeps going to the end. Fans of cozies will enjoy the small-town setting and the cast of humorous and mostly likable characters, especially Dilts’ protagonist Morgan who continues the challenges of running her rock shop. And keep your eye out for some strange unidentifiable creatures.
