Death of a Turkey: 7

By Kate Borden

Book Overview

It's Thanksgiving--and it's not just the turkey who's in danger. As tourists arrive at Cobb's Landing to enjoy an authentic Colonial-style Thanksgiving, mayor Peggy Turner would be thankful for nothing more than a clue as to who killed her neighbor--a clue that didn't point to her.

Customer Reviews

GREAT SMALL TOWN CHARM

ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS BOOK! GREAT HOLIDAY READ AND GREAT CHARACTERS! CAN'T WAIT TO READ MORE OF THIS SERIES.

Max You Little Devil

3rd and hopefully not final installment of Peggy Turner and Cobb's Landing. In this outing, Peggy the mayor of this small New England town, is forced by the irrepressible Max, to put aside her own Thanksgiving plans so Max can capitalize on an original Pilgrim Thanksgiving for the tourists. If this weren't enough, Peggy has to deal with the new obnoxious neighbor who is found dead on the village green, Stu's new fiance - which he is afraid to tell his own mother about and her growing love for Ian. I really enjoy this series of books and hope that Kate Borden hasn't stopped writing about the antics of this little town.

There Aren't Enouh Stars for this Cozy

Breathtakingly beautiful pristine snow, delectable pumpkin muffins, hot coffee, warm friendships, a cozy kitchen. . . . Kate Borden has defined cozy. This is the best book I have ever read in my life! This series, "Death of a Tart", "Death of a Trickster", and "Death of a Turkey" is the best series I have ever read. Each book keeps getting better, even though you don't think a book can get any better than that. This series is the coziest, most entertaining, most magnificent, most awesome, most well-written, absolutely the best series ever written. In this 3rd book of the series, Peggy Jean finds a body in the snow. . . . She and the police chief Stu are determined to find out who is responsible for it. While they are investigating, the rest of the book is so cozy, you feel like you're on a cotton cloud. I think one of the main reasons the book is so cozy is because most of the book takes place in Peggy Jean's cozy kitchen or in the quaint little town, and because of the warm friendships that make the kitchen and the town cozy. You feel like you are right there in the kitchen, or in the hardware store, or in the cozy town. The characters feel so real, and I love them all. I especially love the ending. . . . there are a couple of nice little surprises. I will never be able to sing enough praise for the magnificent, the splendid, the incredibly talented Kate Borden.

Nice cozy for the holidays

If you're looking for a light cozy read, this is the book for you. Peggy Jean is the Mayor of Cobbs Landing, a small Colonial town created for tourists to help the local economy. Peggy's son and likable friend Lavinia and her family are main characters in the book. There is a love interest for Peggy and a man named Max who seems to have a lot of influence in the town's business. A stranger in town, a caring vet, likable police officer and you have the perfect setting for a cozy mystery. A few days before Thanksgiving, Peggy's favorite holiday, a body is found in the town square. Peggy, who also owns the local hardware store, soon becomes a suspect. Peggy must find out who the murderer is and save the holiday and stay out of jail. I enjoyed this book, but I did have a few problems with it. The author kept repeating events that had just happened in complete detail to other characters. It appeared to be written to make the book a certain number of pages. Also the ending (and I can't say anymore because I would give it away) was strange. But overall this was a good cozy and I would recommend it.

Great Series!

I really like this series! While there are some little issues, overall it is a really great cozy series. The characters are likeable and that Ian is simply yummy! I agree with the first reviewer that the relationship has been a little rushed - I would have liked it to develop a new level at each book instead of throwing several into this one. I also agree on the snow issue...since I think New England in general is a wimp about snow and closes at the drop of the hat rather than waiting it out (that may be sour potatoes as I grew in a far northern state that closes for absolutely NOTHING while my cousins in New England were always getting out of school for an inch of snow). But the characters and the town are simply wonderful. I actually managed to guess at the ending although I had it wrong why the murderer murdered Prunella so that was an interesting twist. Definitely a series to devour and I can't wait for more in this series!
