Review: Scone Cold Killer

Scone Cold Killer by Lena Gregory
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

clever cozy with a bit of sinister

This first in the series was an interesting introduction to Boggy Creek and Gia Morelli. The mystery was a bit more edgy than many cozy mysteries but was well constructed. I did feel like Gia was a bit quick to fall into the dating scenario given her past. It made her feel needy and I wasn’t sure I liked that. I think I’m more used to strong female MCs in cozies. I will read the next book to see how the series develops.
