I really liked Ellery Adams' Secret, Book & Scone Society series, so when I saw this, I knew it had to be my pick for this month's #ThematicCozies!

so-soThis was a pretty good mystery, right up until the end. I just didn‘t buy the way it wrapped up, with the guilty seeming to have little motive and some things never really explained. The “Scottish-isms” felt forced and awkward rather than charming. But the characters were somewhat engaging and the setting was beautiful. Probably won‘t read another in the series tho.
The husband picked this out for me by his own self, so I shall love it no matter what it‘s like. But it looks cute and cozy and just the thing for a chilly winter holiday🙂
pickThink 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.
pickI enjoyed this one, but it wasn‘t a stand-out in the series. Helma‘s longtime (and unlikely) best friend Ruth is at the center with the uproar caused by her new series of paintings “Ruth Revealed.” Someone thought she revealed too much - and destroyed two of the pieces.

pickContinuing with this series. Enjoyable cozy read, especially as audio on my commute. This one involves solving the mystery of a skeleton & rare book found on the Storyton estate. Another poisoning (this seems to be the murder weapon of choice in this series). The next book is going to have a change of setting, which I think will be good.
