“Curse
of the PTA” by Laura Alden
I realized after finishing this book, I
don’t read enough cozies. I forget how delightful and entertaining they are.
“Curse of the PTA” is definitely one of those.
Beth Kennedy is a bookstore owner, mom,
President of the PTA, and police consultant. Police consultant, you ask? Sounds
rather odd for someone who seems to be a wholesome, small town woman. True, but
apparently Beth has a habit of coming across dead bodies and has an ability to
find out some of the most inane information that to most, would seem like
nothing, but ends up leading her to suspects. Some right, some…not-so-right.
Dennis Halpern is a financial consultant
and Beth has him at a PTA meeting to discuss possible choices of investing the
PTA’s money. But before he gets too much of a chance to actually say a few
words, he’s shot and killed. How bad is this PTA anyway?
Alden’s story is enjoyable and I love
the wit she throws in. Definitely recommended. Make it your next book you bring
to the beach this summer.
