Not only did she essentially witness the woman\u2019s death, but Carlene was both a friend and the current wife of her former husband, to boot. At first blush, Carlene appears to have committed suicide, but Hazel doesn\u2019t buy that for a second \u2013 which means it\u2019s quite likely that one of the group\u2019s own is to blame.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Murder at the Book Group<\/strong> is the first of <strong><em>Maggie King\u2019s<\/em><\/strong> <em>Book Group Mysteries<\/em>, and I can guarantee it\u2019ll be the last I read in the series. I did not enjoy this book. <strong>Murder at the Book Group<\/strong> gets off to a slow, clumsy, convoluted start and only goes downhill from there. At 400 pages, it\u2019s too long by half. The prose is clunky and contains far too many superfluous details, slowing the (already glacial) pace and detracting from the (already muddy) plot. The narration is dull, disjointed, and full of boring digressions. All of the characters\u2019 backstories are revealed in excruciating detail via dense blocks of text. There\u2019s too much dialogue (none of which rings true) and not enough action, and too many scenes do too little to forward the plot. King never establishes any sort of stakes, making it impossible to care about the outcome. There are way too many characters and none of them are terribly well developed, making it all the more difficult to keep track of who\u2019s who. All of the relationships lack authenticity, and everyone\u2019s both too nosy and feels compelled to dramatically over-share. The denouement is anticlimactic and ridiculous, and while I like the facts of the mystery\u2019s solution, it isn\u2019t earned.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It pains me to write this harsh a review, but I had to force myself to read through to the final page. If you ask me, <strong>Murder at the Book Group<\/strong> is a good idea that\u2019s very poorly executed. A deep and thorough edit might have saved this book, but as it stands, I suggest you take a pass.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/21412200-murder-at-the-book-group\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none-decoration\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/goodread-logo.jpg?resize=210%2C86\" alt=\"goodread-logo\" width=\"210\" height=\"86\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Reviewed by<\/em><strong><span style=\"color: #008000;\">\u00a0Kat<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none-decoration\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/2.5_star_blog.jpg?resize=102%2C58\" alt=\"2.5_star_blog\" width=\"102\" height=\"58\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00JYDKX24?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=thesea0f-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=9325&amp;creativeASIN=B00JYDKX24\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none-decoration\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/amazon-logo.jpg?resize=100%2C47\" alt=\"amazon-logo\" width=\"100\" height=\"47\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/click?id=4jojKl08wnk&amp;subid=&amp;offerid=266972.1&amp;type=10&amp;tmpid=8432&amp;RD_PARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fsearch.barnesandnoble.com%252Fbooksearch%252Fisbninquiry.asp%253Fean%253D9781476762487\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none-decoration\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/bandn-logo.jpg?resize=100%2C47\" alt=\"bandn-logo\" width=\"100\" height=\"47\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/book\/lookup?isbn=9781476762487\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none-decoration\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/iBooks_Icon.jpg?resize=100%2C47\" alt=\"iBooks_Icon\" width=\"100\" height=\"47\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/click?id=4jojKl08wnk&amp;subid=&amp;offerid=290193.1&amp;type=10&amp;tmpid=9309&amp;RD_PARM1=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kobobooks.com%2Fsearch%2Fsearch.html%3Fq%3D9781476762487\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none-decoration\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/kobo-logo.jpg?resize=100%2C47\" alt=\"kobo-logo\" width=\"100\" height=\"47\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/search?q=9781476762487&amp;c=books\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"none-decoration\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/icon-google-play.jpg?resize=100%2C47\" alt=\"icon-google-play\" width=\"100\" height=\"47\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<!--themify_builder_content-->\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-15575\" data-postid=\"15575\" class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-15575 themify_builder tf_clear\">\n    <\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hazel Rose never dreamed that the murder mystery book group she and her friend Carlene started would stage a real murder.
