Murder to Go was hard to read. It's not that is was complex or difficult in the intellectual sense because it is not. The difficulty lies in the ability to digest the story and characters. 
 The story was predictable and lacked depth. There was no character or plot development. It's hard to make a plot out of an unemployed woman who randomly inherits a food truck (of all things) into a compelling story. One can only describe cleaning the inside of a food truck and the intricacies of relish in so much detail. 
 My biggest gripe was the main character Maeve. She is a 25 year old underemployed woman who is making a living from inheriting her late Aunt's food truck. She often mentions her months sitting on her parents couch watching television waiting for the perfect job as the entire background to her life leading up to her new job. Generally, you don't become successful if you don't do anything. It's infuriating to read a book about a woman who is lazy and expects everything to be handed to her on a silver platter. I understand that in this day and age it is difficult to get your foot in the door. I get that, I've been there. However, she repeatedly mentioned months of doing nothing. How can I root for someone like that? You can only watch so much television. How does she fill her day? 
 It's not like she has a budding social life. In the entire story she doesn't' mention having an friends or hobbies besides reading a books. The only thing she seems interested in is potentially flirting with the detective who thinks she is a murderer which is pretty ridiculous. She literally wakes up, works on the food truck, cleans the food truck, goes home to nap and then go to bed early. She finishes working by 2pm and doesn't do anything. Come on Maeve, be more interesting. 
 None of the characters were very intriguing. Her parents seemed pretty apathetic, cold and stiff. They didn't notice that someone went into the house and hid a forged will into in there. Land spoke little to Maeve which is weird considering they work together everyday. You don't need to be best friends or like each other, but I know I would want to know a little more about the person you inherited as an employee who was told they would bequeath the food truck and is bitter about it. 
 Maeve was the worst by far. There was one part where she visited her parents after work and decided to stay for supper because she wanted someone to serve her for a change. Maeve, you have been working at a food truck for three months. Your parents have been taking care of you for 25 years. If anything you should go there and make them dinner. She was spoiled, entitled and ungrateful. Ugh. 
 The book wasn't all bad. It was fun to see the process Maeve went through to try and solve the murder and finally learn about the history of the food truck and the mysteriously circumstances behind the death of her Aunt Alice and Alice's friend Shirley. They seemed to be the most interesting characters in the book. Too bad they were dead the whole time. When the murders were solved, I hadn't figured out whodunit and was moderately surprised. It's a good book to read if you want a quick, light story for a cold afternoon in the winter where you can curl up and sip some hot chocolate.
