The Battered Body (Supper Club Series #5) Book

3.5 stars for this book.

The Battered Body is the fifth book in The Supper Club series, and my first book from the author. It was a fun reading but it wasn't quick read for me. I used to spend one day to finished a cozy mystery, but this book took me 3 days. I got distracted a lot of time and after almost half of the book then it started to hook me.

The supper club is 5 people who lives in the small town called Quincy Gap and used to gather together and solves a few crimes that happens in their town. One of them, James Henry, who is a librarian are preparing for his father's wedding with Milla. Due to the wedding, James eventually meets with Milla's sisters and nephew, and one of them is some kind of celebrity called ''Diva of Dough", Paullete. Unfortunately, Paullete behaviour clashed with litterally every single person she meets, because of her arrogancy. While she was on the town helping to bake wedding cake, she manages herself to make a few enemies. Until one day, she was found dead in the kitchen with her face covered in cake batter. A few days after her funeral, her son who is also in town for the wedding, was also murdered. James and his friends, The Supper Club is now trying to gathers clues to find the killer .

You dont have to read the entire series to understand the case, but if you'd like to know more about the characters, you should definitely read all of them. For me, the character was very likable and interesting. A group filled with a librarian, deputy, mail man, vegan hippies and town nerds is actually very entertaining with their own problems. Do i like the book ? It was okay and enjoyable. Maybe i'd like it more if i read the entire series. would i read the other series ? You bet i am.
