I‘ve been looking forward to reading this one for months. I throughly enjoyed it!
Set in London in 1940. Ellie comes from a family that lives on the shady side of the law with their locksmith/safecracking business. Things don‘t go according to plan one evening and Ellie is offered the opportunity to use her unique skills for king and country. Already looking forward to the next book in the series.

I had to read this book based on the title alone! Newly retired Jane is good at solving problems for her group of friends. Word gets out about her abilities and the manager of a retirement condo community calls her.
Hostilities are simmering between various factions and he needs help to calm everyone down. However Jane barely gets settled into her undercover role of new resident before a murder occurs.

❄️ A snowflake special edition hardcover! I‘ve wanted to create a special edition hardcover for a long time. The Christmas and snow themes of Murder on a Midnight Clear sparked the idea to hand-stamp snowflakes on the end pages of the book.💡

The Body in the Garden is another of my Covid escape reads.
Set in 1815, it features young widow Lily Adler, who is returning to society.
Taking a break from the whirl of a first ball, she escapes to the garden where she hears a shot...and finds a dead body.
I enjoyed the Regency setting and the diverse cast in this book. 🔎 🌸🔎

It‘s June so that it means it‘s time for a wedding . . . and a mystery (of course). Have you ever seen roses this color? I hadn‘t. So unusual!

A Killer in King‘s Cove is like an English village mystery, except in Canada. Set post WWII, the characters have interesting backstories from the war that impact their every day life. Looking forward to seeing how the series, which is set in a small mountain town, develops. 📚 Bookish question: What are your favorite fictional small towns and villages? 🔎🌲🏔🔎

Murder at the Palace by Margaret Dumas is one of my favorite mystery discoveries! Loved the classic movie theme. What‘s your favorite classic movie? Mine is To Catch a Thief. 🔎 🎥 🔎 🍿 🔎

An English garden, a tart, and a mystery—some of my favorite things. Do you have a garden? I don‘t have a green thumb and do better reading and writing about a garden rather than trying to grow one! 🌺 🔎 🌸 🌱 🌳 🌸 🔎 🌺

My weekend read. The latest Miss Dimont mystery is set in the 1950s on the Devon coast.
🎪
A clash between a posh hotel and the nearby rough-and-tumble holiday camp escalates and everyone is on edge. 📝
A woman turns up dead and Miss Dimont shows up with her reporter‘s notebook determined to get to the truth.

I‘ve been in the writing cave and then swamped with promoting a new series, but I‘m back now. I‘ll try to catch up with some recent reads, including this one:
Reading A Dream of Death and enjoying the dual narrative with modern and historical story lines. An antique dealer travels to a Scottish island and becomes involved in a murder investigation. 🔍⛰✨

It‘s National Book Lovers Day! What are you reading? I just finished Murder She, Reported. Biz Adams would rather be a news photographer than a socialite and goes to work as a gal Friday in a newsroom. I enjoyed the 1930s New York setting and the work relationship Biz develops with a seasoned reporter as they solve a murder. #cozymystery #nationalbookloversday #ilovecozies #cozymystery #historicalmystery #orangecovers

I liked the two sleuths in this #1920s historical mystery set in England. And the plot revolves around a famous author and the fandom around his fictional world!

Another fun cozy with a small town setting and a sleuth who is renovating a historic home. #cozymystery #smalltown #fun #ilovecozies
I haven‘t post in awhile because I‘ve been swamped with writing, promotion, and two trips. But I read plenty of books...
Really enjoyed the second in series with a small town librarian turned journalist/obit writer.
