Murder in a Basket (An India Hayes Mystery Book 2)

Better than first and protagonist more likeable but will there ever be a third book? Just when I feel the author was starting to get a feel for the recurring characters and starting to develop their relationships. I hate a series that quits without some character resolution. If it is going to end then loose ends. Need to be tied. Good storyline but don't bother unless you don't mind being left adrift. It has been a lot of years so I am not holding my breath for book three which seems to be this author's limit.

As one not partial to cozy mysteries, I found myself being drawn into this story of a .murder at a crafts fair. It does have its silly elements, like an 80 year old sidekick foaming at the bit to use her new mail-order lock-picker tools and a dog who is the only heir of a multimillionaire. Charming enough, as it turns out. The big plus is that Amanda Flowers knows what she's about. This is nicely plotted and moves along to a properly scary and satisfying ending.

This book was much better than the 1st book. It was more cohesive and I actually started liking the characters. I'm not sure if there is a 3rd book, but I would definitely read it.

What a fun new series! I love India Hayes, her wacky family and friends! The mysteries are well done, and not easy to figure out. I can't wait for the next one!

I love Amanda Flowers writing and storytelling. She never disappoints me. This 2nd installment in the India Hayes series is spellbinding. It has a strong and intriguing mystery and well-drawn characters.

I enjoyed the two India Hayes books and wish there would have been a few more. The ending left me feeling another book had been planned.

I enjoy all of Amanda Flower’s mysteries, but the India Hayes series is my new favorite! With a quirky bunch of characters and great story lines, this series is a winner!

Fun book about different arts, murders and suspects. A great read and a lit of fun. Not your typical murder mystery.

I hope there will be more titles in this series. I really enjoyed this book and the characters in it.
