To find the truth, she’ll have to read between the lines…
READERS LOVE SUE MINIX:

"Page-turning good read!" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“A breathtaking race to the end.” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“A cozy mystery that checks all the boxes. I read late into the night.” ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Bookstore owner and crime writer Jen is leaving her amateur sleuthing days behind her. She’s got a new novel to finish – if she could just figure out the final murderous twist. But, when the local high school Principal is murdered, Jen soon discovers that retiring is easier written than done.

The town is shocked when their beloved vet is named the prime suspect, but Jen knows he simply couldn’t have done it.

Now, it’s up to Jen to find the real killer, can she crack the case before they strike again?

I really enjoyed visiting Riddleton again and Ravenous Reads Bookstore.  I like the main cast of characters Jen, Charlie, Lacey, Eric, Ingrid and of Savannah the German shepherd. Jen is trying to navigate having writers block and looking for a house with Eric and her commitment issues.

In this instalment the high school principal is murdered and then Marcus, and his two young daughters go missing after a weekend camping trip!  Now Jen has to investigate right, she can’t just sit idly by why her friend is missing…

It was entertaining, full of twists and turns and I did guess whodunnit but that did not distract from the story.  

I requested and received an advanced readers copy from Harper Collins/Avon and NetGalley.  All thoughts and opinions are my OWN.

Death at a Scottish Halloween by Lucy Connelly

Hello my cozy friends, 

Today I am reviewing “ Death on a Scottish Halloween” by Lucy Connelly the 5th instalment in the " A Scottish Isle Mystery" series.  I love this series.

Buy here 

When Dr. Emilia McRoy stumbles upon a dead body in a haunted house, she resolves to find the killer before another body can fall.

Halloween isn’t the only cause for fright in the fifth Scottish Isle mystery, perfect for fans of Paige Shelton and Connie Berry.

It’s the week of Halloween—or as they say in Scotland, All Hallows' Eve—and the town of Sea Isle is full of spooky celebrations. Dr. Emilia McRoy loves being part of her new community and is eager to help out in any way she can. But the festivities are interrupted when she and her assistant, Abigail, find a dead body in a haunted house. A real one. They’re too late to save the victim, but they’ll do whatever it takes to find his killer.

There’s just one problem: There are too many suspects.

Constable Ewan would prefer the good doctor and her friends stay out of the investigations, but that isn’t how Dr. Em rolls. As she and her gang investigate, they realize the killer is searching for something—and has no problem murdering anyone who gets in the way of finding it.

Dr. Em must stay one step ahead if she’s to survive this Halloween season alive—either that or she might just end up the next victim.

This time an artist /rig worker is found dead in an haunted house during the towns All Hallows Eve celebrations.  But the next night Doctor Em stumbles upon another body this time on her doorstep, sadly she’s too late to save him.  Em  must stay one step ahead if she’s to survive this Halloween season alive—either that or she might just end up the next victim.

It was entertaining, full of twists and turns and I didn’t completely guess whodunnit until Em did.  

I highly recommend this series to all my cozy loving friends and I can’t wait for book 5 to come out!

Death on the Books by Victoria Gilbert

Hello my cozy friends, 

Today I am reviewing “ Death on the Books” by Victoria Gilbert the 10th instalment in the "Blue Ridge Library Mystery" series. I really enjoyed it.

Buy here

A sleuthing library director is on the case when a patron drops dead in the tenth installment of Victoria Gilbert’s critically acclaimed Blue Ridge Library mysteries.

When a stranger falls over dead in the Taylorsford Public Library, clutching a crumpled piece of paper inscribed only with the words hen and sapphire, Library Director Amy Muir must once again investigate. She soon learns that the man is the personal assistant to Warren Sanderson, an art collector and dealer who just so happens to be visiting Kurt Kendrick, the godfather of Amy’s twins.

When the autopsy reveals that the library patron was poisoned, suspicion falls on those who knew him—mainly Sanderson, his granddaughter Heather, and Kurt. Determined to get to the bottom of the mystery, Amy digs into the contentious relationships between Kurt and the Sandersons. But as it turns out, suspects abound, and when Amy’s best friend’s boyfriend is implicated, the case becomes even more complicated.

Amy’s research ties the dead man’s note to a lost treasure of the Romanov empire. Then another person falls victim. With the bodies piling up, Amy knows better than anyone that killers often keep killing until they’re caught, and she’ll stop at nothing to get to the bottom of this tangled mystery. 

In this instalment a stranger falls over dead in the Taylorsford Public Library, clutching a crumpled piece of paper inscribed only with the words hen and sapphire, Library Director Amy Muir must once again investigate. She soon learns that the man is the personal assistant to Warren Sanderson, an art collector and dealer who just so happens to be visiting Kurt Kendrick, the godfather of Amy’s twins.

Unfortunately those connections lead to intrigue, missing and priceless Faberge eggs from 1922, the not so savory side of the art world, drugs, and more. 

I found myself engrossed in the story and reading it almost straight through. It was entertaining, full of twists and turns as well as a few surprises.

I highly recommend this series to all my cozy loving friends.
