Humorous Cozy Mystery. Clean read: no graphic violence, sex, or strong language but lots of fun characters and quirky dialogue.

Eve’s new inn is about to open, with or without a name. As a new local business owner, Eve thinks it would be a splendid idea to attend a local town meeting. Little does she know she’s been excluded from them for a good reason. She’s been labeled a troublemaker. Now there is a new resident in Rock-Maine Island and she’s been warned to stay away from him.

One look at William Hunter the Third is enough to convince Eve she wants nothing to do with the man. Despite everyone’s efforts to keep Eve away from him, the inevitable happens and he lands on her doorstep.

To make matters worse, the billionaire brings along an entourage which includes his ex-wives, his friends and… a killer.

There have already been two deaths at the house she’s turned into an inn. Another death makes it three. Thinking disasters come in threes, she hopes this will complete the cycle. But what if she’s on a treadmill and doomed to play host to murder and mayhem? The town will surely rise up against her…

Editorial Reviews

Review

A Kink in the Road is a fun read about a young woman named Eve who finds herself in a small town with a large, possibly haunted, house on her hands. She decides to convert it into an inn where she can entertain guests and show off her culinary talents. Since there wouldn't be much of a plot if things went smoothly, several days before she's ready to open, an inconvenient storm strands a group of weekend visitors. Their wealthy host has a home of his own in town, but he isn't prepared for overnight guests, so he and his friends end up in Eve's inn. The situation turns out to be the perfect recipe for murder and mayhem that kept me guessing and laughing at the same time. This is the 7th in the Deadline Cozy Mystery Series. I look forward to going back and catching up on what I've missed. Goodreads Review

Eve's ready to open her inn officially.

Instead of just a simple party for a few friends to celebrate.
Her aunt Mira, invited the newest and wealthiest person on the island
to have a lunch as a trial run for Evie.
When one of the guest dies suddenly, Evie has yet another murder on
her hands.

Another fun story with developed characters and a solid storyline.

I was beginning to get bored with the stories having the same form. But this mixed it up and still had humor and lots of twists that led to the killer.

A woman at her door asking for a lunch on the day of her per-opening party, it is unexpected and unwanted. She caves and allows the group to come. Then one died, poison, which one did it? The whole group is suspected. Many twists and turns. Good read.

The author seems to have a problem with verb tenses and subject/object pronouns which the editor does not catch. I find myself mentally correcting the errors as I read.

Having been banned from the town meetings she wasn't even aware of, Eve finds out and goes along, ignored they're welcoming the new billionaire in town who has just bought the Bugle.

Eve is banned from talking to him as a magnet for trouble no one wants to risk the newest resident William. Mira however manages to book them a meal at the Inn without Eve's knowledge. Thrown into last minute preparations and dreading anything from happening she enlists Jill and Josh to act as security.

Despite all attempts to avoid another murder it happens when the men in the group disappear outside for a cigar. With a big storm closing in fast and William's house spouting leaks Jack decides that everyone must stay put for the night much to Eve's frustration.

Jill gets on with producing ever more crazy theories and researching poisons, two members of the murder mystery book club are found prowling the grounds, with one being the town's reporter looking for a scoop Eve's at her wits end. Will the town ever believe it's not her fault she seems to draw trouble everywhere she goes?
