"if she was a murderer it would be a bit like discovering that Mary Berry had a dark side."

Fun and cozy mystery! Liked all the gardening and food bits.

I finallycaught up @julieclair! #ThematicCozies

#Read2025 #SeriesLove2025

Finished earlier in the week, this was my second book for #ThematicCozies April #Sports theme. I really enjoyed this mystery set in the world of river rafting on the Arkansas River in Colorado. The MC, Mandy Tanner is a River Ranger who rescues two people when a tour raft upsets & one of them dies—turns out he was poisoned & since the raft & guide were her uncle‘s, she gets involved in the investigation. I liked the ⬇️

DebinHawaii … rafting descriptions as I used to go frequently with an old boss years ago back in Oregon. Mandy got on my nerves a bit at times—she‘s a young 27, but overall I liked it & will read the next in the series. 2d

My pick for May for #thematiccozies! It‘s the first in a series, and the MC (and amateur sleuth) starts her new job as head gardener of a wealthy gated community.

My choice for the May #ThematicCozies theme of #Flowers/Plants is #6 in the Darling Dahlias series, by Susan Wittig Albert. I have read several others in this series and enjoyed them.

What will everyone else be reading? 🌸💐🌺🌷🌻🥀🌼🌹🍀🌿🍃🌴🌲📚📚📚

Mehso-so

Megan‘s got a job as an extra in a movie about rock climbing. Things get complicated when the star of the movie is found dead at the base of the rock wall. At first, it seems like an accident. & then the second body is found.

Fun. It got a little overly technical w/ rock climbing details, & there were way too many characters to keep track of. But it did keep me guessing, & I liked all of the characters & the friendships involved. 🌕🌕🌕🌑🌑

julieclair I should probably read this one. My son is really into rock climbing and I know nothing about it. Maybe I could learn something from all those technical details. 🙃 3d
BookmarkTavern @julieclair I usually enjoy when a cozy mystery writer shows off just how much they know about a particular subject, but I felt like I needed to stop and google way too many times. 😅 2d

#Read2025 #SeriesLove2025

Finished last week for #ThematicCozies April #Sports theme, one of my two picks. I don‘t know that this one is really that sports related. The MC goes to Mackinac Island to help her boss‘s father with his bike shop when he breaks his leg & starts trying to solve a murder when he is accused. There‘s talk of a bike race but most renters are tourists getting around the no-car island. Still it was cute-maybe a little over ⬇️

DebinHawaii …top at times with just how accident prone the MC was, but I overall enjoyed the audiobook (free on Audible) & would listen to the next book in the series. (This is book 1). 1w
TheSpineView Well done!🤩🩷📚 1w
julieclair I‘d read it just for the Mackinac Island setting. I‘ve always wanted to go there! 1w

Everything I like in a cozy mystery. Amateur female sleuth, police detective boyfriend, likable supporting characters, small town setting, and a mystery that I can‘t figure out. I‘ll read more of this series. 4⭐️

This was my April pick for #ThematicCozies #Sport, and also my #BookSpin #DoubleSpin

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!!! Also - I got Indiscretion in the mail yesterday!!! Thank you so much for sending it back, I genuinely forgot you had it 😂 But in fairness I've had The Smile of a Stranger for so long that I literally don't remember who is supposed to get it next! 😂 😂 😂 1w
julieclair @TheAromaofBooks 🤣🤣 Once the structure of #LMPBC disappeared, we dissolved into chaos! 🤪🫠😂 1w
