3.0 out of 5 stars Fun and Light, February 2, 2007

This review is from: A Pour Way to Dye (Soapmaking Mysteries, No. 2) (Paperback)

Mr. Myers work is not terribly deep or thought-provoking...and sometimes that's precisely what I'm after. The soap-making classes are fun to follow, and have given me a hankering to try it myself. The murder plot was a bit more intriquing than the first Soap-Making Mystery, but it seems the characters' relationships take center stage in Mr. Myers' books. If you want a light book to read while waiting to get your car serviced or waiting at the doctor's office, this would be a good selection.

This review is from: A Pour Way to Dye (Soapmaking Mysteries, No. 2) (Paperback)

Although I had serious problems with the first book in the series, this one presents Ben as more ... mature. Four stars may be slightly generous here, but I found the book okay, when I wasn't really expecting to get through it easily.
