Welcome to Litsy!

I couldn‘t believe that I already owned a book that fit July‘s #thematiccozies, but it‘s true! This book is set during a book festival. 📚

July‘s pick. A pirate festival & a bakery. I‘m intrigued.

I enjoy the Lucy Stone mystery series. The books are well-written, and the characters feel realistic. This book is #31 in the series. Lucy‘s daughter is getting married, and I could so identify with the “wedding industrial complex” that suddenly takes over their lives! I also appreciated the thoughtful treatment of the history of the Native Americans in Maine. And it‘s a cozy, so of course there was a murder! It kept me guessing until the end.

Dr. Emilia McRoy moved to a small Scottish village for a fresh start, and Sea Isle is starting to feel like home. She has a small circle of friends, and one of them is getting married at a lavish estate. As the wedding festivities get underway, a body is found, but the victim isn‘t a guest or staff. Then the bride is targeted, and Emilia aims to find out who wants to hurt her friend.

I really enjoy this series. Book 8 brings Ellery‘s college friends to Pirate‘s Cove to celebrate the completion of the Captain‘s Seat renovations. We didn‘t get much from the Pirate‘s Cove regulars in this one (which I missed) but we did get to solve two cases.

I really enjoyed this #DayOfTheDead #ThematicCozies book. I am hoping to find the next one on Libby :) --- Growing up, my family celebrates the Day of the Dead. My husband and I have tried to keep this tradition in VT with a little offering we keep in our home, but I really need to find a better area to put it in our home, so I can tend to it properly.

Pic is from a Doggie Church in VT that reminded me of home.
