Think this is the 5th book in the series, & if I didn‘t know there were several more, I would think it was the last one. Still doing audio, & I think this is the best of the series so far. Jane has to go to the Biltmore briefly to rescue her man, then has to outsmart the villain while back in Storyton. She makes several big decisions. There‘s a major twist. Solid series.

Thank you so much, @AmyG for my #cozyswap package! This was a very generous package, full of goodies that are perfect for the season and books I can‘t wait to read! I especially can‘t wait to put it all to good use during #Deweys 24 hour #readathon next Saturday. October is my favorite reading month, and I loved participating in this swap! Many thanks to the hosts!

I‘m terrible at these make a collage things. So for my “style” for #cozyswap and #hauntedhollowswap I think this sums it up. I love all things fall, Halloween, and hocus pocus is life. I don‘t do scary.

Chrissyreadit I LOVE this!!! You are only missing a baby pumpkin in your lap 🧡🎉🎉🎉🧡 4y

Wow! I couldn't put this one down today. (Sorry to my husband and child, ha!) It was by far the most fast paced out of the series. I was, honestly, disappointed with a decision Jane makes near the end of the book, but I am looking forward to reading the next one to see how that choice plays out. Still such a fun and different take on Cozy Mysteries!

My sixth #CozyintheSun is now finished! :)
@Librarybelle @ferskner

Librarybelle I love when a book is that good that you cannot put it down! 4y
SamanthaMarie @Librarybelle Me too! Especially since I was having a hard day, so it was extra nice to get lost in another world. 🥰 4y
ferskner This is a very intriguing review! 4y

We‘ve made the decision today to not cancel the retreat - but postpone it instead. We‘ve set a new date of 6th - 8th November. So if you couldn‘t make March but wanna join us in November drop me a line below. 🥳.

Soubhiville That‘s the TX Book Festival weekend 😢. I‘m not sure what I‘ll choose to do. The festival is my favorite thing Austin does. I‘m also hesitant to commit right now. 5y
Mitch @Soubhiville oh man! I didn‘t have that date in the calendar...... understand your hesitancy 🧐 5y
LeeRHarry I‘ve cancelled my trip back to the UK in April so if I decide to head over before the year is out I‘ll keep this date in mind 😊 5y

Mitch @LeeRHarry pencil it in 🤞🏼 5y
dodgygothbint Ooh, a reading retreat sounds good! Can you send me the details? 5y
Mitch @dodgygothbint sure - we did it last year and it was amazing. We stay at the Gladstone Library - the UKs only residential library and then we take country walks, eat cake, go to the local pub for dinner and in between time nestle in the library and read and read and enjoy the peace. If you‘d like to join us - that would be fab. We each book our own room and then email me to say you‘ve booked and I organise the rest! 5y
Mitch @dodgygothbint my email is mitch(dot)k(at)mac(dot)com if you have any questions drop me a line 5y
Caroline2 Oh I would love to try and come to the November trip please?? 🙋‍♀️ 5y
Mitch @Caroline2 that would be great. We‘d love to have you. See notes above .... 5y
squirrelbrain @Caroline2 - that would be fab if you could come! 5y
Caroline2 Great. I‘ve just dropped you an email. All being well, I‘d love to come. @squirrelbrain 😀 5y
diovival This sounds lovely. 🤩 5y

I just finished listening to the latest installment in the Book Retreat mystery series by Ellery Adams. This book had some major twists and turns! From the beginning to the end, this book kept me guessing and now has me looking forward to the next one to see what's going to happen 😁 #BookBooks #CozyMystery #AudioBookCommuting

I have mixed feelings about this book... I love this series and this book was no different. I love characters, setting and how it takes turns you don‘t see coming. This one felt like it was the last one and that makes me sad!! I love storyton and wanted it and the its stories to continue for years to come!

Really loving Scribd thanks @Avanders ! Finished this one on Friday but with the kids coming over I‘m late posting. This book had so many twists and turns, truly unexpected ones including the killer. I adore this Series and highly recommend. Has anyone else read this one so we can talk about it?!
Book 3/6 for #bookfitnesschallenge

wanderinglynn Great progress on your book goal! 🙌🏻 6y
KathyWheeler I can‘t stand the narrator of these books so I quit listening. This one sounds interesting though so I may have to see if my library has a book or ebook copy and read it instead of listen to it. I love the concept of this series . 6y
BethM @KathyWheeler the narrator is not the best. I‘ve alternated between listening and reading, but listened to most of this one bc I was hungry for the story based on how the last book ended. Ultimately, I like the stories enough that I try to ignore the narration. 6y

BethM @KathyWheeler idk how many you‘ve read, but based on how some aspects build I wouldn‘t advocate skipping around. 6y

If, like me, you enjoy this cozy series take advantage of this preorder. I‘ve noticed that if you don‘t, her ebooks tend to be the same cost as print.
