In the Winter Woods

pick

To get back into his writing groove, Declan returns to his family‘s cabin for peace and quiet. What he gets is murder, small town politics, and romance.

A second read through of this #DiverseCozy for me! Still charming, although the flatness of the characters & shallowness of the romance was more frustrating. But I also appreciated the scene setting more, & I had forgotten the murderer, so I had fun with the multiple red herrings! š•š•š•š•š‘

Finished Dec‘s #diversecozy read right before heading out the door for trivia night tonight.

There were some mistakes that should‘ve been caught by an editor that drove me a little batty, but I enjoyed this more than I didn‘t. The town was charming, it wasn‘t too romance-y for me (a genre I‘ve never been able to enjoy), and the mystery wasn‘t easily solvable. Very easy to read, especially for the holidays, but will probably be forgotten soon

December‘s #diversecozy buddy read is In the Winter Woods: a little M/M Christmas romance mystery for you! Available on Hoopla for easy access.

Friends, how are we feeling about continuing #diversecozy in 2023? Should we stick to one a month or shift to every other month? Want me to continue picking out titles or should we do suggestions/voting? Thanks for your input! š™‚

Soubhiville @ThePageantHam is this a book/ a group you‘d be interested in? 1y

BookmarkTavern I read an arc of this one two years ago, and I am so excited to read it again! And I‘m 100% in for 2023! I‘ve had a couple cozy mysteries on my TBR I‘d love to read with a group, so maybe, if you‘d like, you could open a couple months for suggestions? But I‘d be thrilled either way, this has really broadened my horizons! ā¯¤ļø¸ 1y

so-so

Eh. Kinda cute at times. Mostly predictable. I found myself skimming through paragraphs to get to something actually happening vs the protagonist‘s inner monologue. I didn‘t love the writing overall; I don‘t think I‘d look into the author‘s other works unless someone recommended something specific. | āļø¸āļø¸āļø¸

A shorter read in-between the series I have going on. A writer goes to his family‘s Vermont cabin to beat writer‘s block and starts to receive threats and a murder occurs. Bought on an impulse, interested to see how this one is.

Declan is a down on his luck writer, escaping to his family‘s Vermont cottage at Christmas to work past writer‘s block. He expects quiet, but gets a distractingly attractive Commissioner. And murder.

A fun and quick read. The solve of the mystery surprised me. I was charmed by the setting and the people.

Characters are a bit flat, but have potential. Dialogue was a bit formal at times. And the relationship developed too quick for me. š•š•š•š•š‘
