Easter Egg Murder contains three Easter themed novellas by Leslie Meier, Lee Hollis, and Peggy Ehrhart. I was looking forward to reading Easter Egg Murder by Leslie Meier because I have been following Lucy Stone’s adventures since the beginning. Unfortunately, the author included Carole Capobianco from her new series The Carole and Poopsie Mysteries. Carole is brash, rude, and annoying (her family is just as bad). The narrative unfolds through alternating chapters from Lucy’s and Carole’s perspectives. Bill was irritable and not quite himself. While the mystery was fine, it felt somewhat implausible. I wish there had been more time devoted to Elizabeth who is expecting her first child. Death By Another Easter Egg by Lee Hollis felt rushed. The killer was easy to spot, and, for some reason, Hayley had some blonde moments in this story. An Eggy Way to Die by Peggy Ehrhart has a cute title, but the writing is overly descriptive, especially about food. The mystery was simple and I thought it unusual that it was resolved a couple of chapters before the end of the novella. Easter Egg Murder was not the crackin’ good time that I was eggspecting.
