I received this enjoyable, fun  and funny mystery from GoodREads.  Miss Merry Mac is a former waitress and has just been acquitted of the murder of her billionaire husband. While relaxing on the patio of "Hollywood" friends, a body falls at her feet.  The dilemma for police and the media frenzy of headlines :  Did Miss Merry Mac Kill Again??  Her older stepson flames the frenzy with incendiary lies.  Argh, poor Merry!  She must once again prove her innocence with her "sidekicks"  80 year old Miss Silverweather & Dwayne.  The author, Dana Precious (yes, that IS her real name) integrates humor into very  clever writing, but I also saw life lessons in the story:  The importance of self confidence, never losing perspective of what's important in life, valuing real friends, and never giving up the positive values you grew up with.  A good read, a very enjoyable book , well written and cleverly plotted.

This is a delightfully charming whodunit with zany characters, humor, murder and mayhem, suspense, and just a touch of romance. I loved best friends Francie and June, who reminded me of Lucy and Ethel, as they get in the middle of a murder investigation while on Kelleys Island for Memorial Day. This is the first book I have read by Maureen K. Howard and now I look forward to more adventures with Francie and June in the Lake Erie Mysteries. I was given a copy of this book in exchange for my unbiased review.

This was a lighthearted read that combined mystery with romance.  The twists kept my interest and kept me guessing.  The grandma was hilarious; as a senior myself I found her delightful and like  the fact she was taking control of her life.

Really fun mystery with a funny heroine who reminds me a little of Stephanie Plum, although more capable. there's plenty of clues and intrigue along with the comedy. I read this late into the night in a single setting and can't wait to read the next one 'Murder on the Page.' Can't recommend enough.

Book 4 finds Fortune Redding getting ready for a not-a-date date with Deputy Carter LeBlanc when she gets word someone tried to burn her friend Allies house down.  The date gets put on hold while Carter has to investigate.  As always, Fortune aggravates him/helps him by investigating on her own, aided by Ida Belle and Gertie, the Geritol Mafia.

Fortunes not a girly-girl, (after all, shes a CIA assassin), so the opening scenes with Ida and Gertie trying to help her get ready for the date are laugh-out-loud funny, and that humor is carried out through the rest of the book.  I like the dialog in this book, both Fortunes internal arguments, and the communication between all of the characters.

I also like how the author brings everyone up to speed on past history quickly, but in a light-handed way.  You could read these out of order and not feel lost.  There is a nice touch of romance, but the mystery never takes a back seat, another plus.  And theres a fair amount of action to keep things interesting.  I am glad I have more books to catch up on in this series.

I enjoy reading comedy, romance & mysteries and when they're combined, I enjoy it even more!  You can't go wrong with Gemma Halliday's High Heel series.

This book is a mystery, a romance and a light hearted comedy that keeps the reader entertained and enthralled. Confession maybe good for the soul but is it good for romance? Before this book ends more than one person may find out.
 Penny has dreams. She wants to become a well known photographer and her chance has come. She enters two black and white photographs of her boyfriend's wonderful bare toes in an international photography contest (the toes just happen to be attached to his naked body) and they are intercepted by a local blackmailer. The problems are as follows, 1) she didn't ask her boyfriend's permission and 2) he has just told her his boss has ordered his entire to staff to keep their lives squeaky clean because of an important business deal that they are working on.
  The whole town seems to be being blackmailed and getting the evidence back leads to a comedy of errors and unfortunate deaths of two of its citizens. Penny seems to be the main suspect in their murders and even the trio that forms to find the evidence to prove her innocence aren't sure if one of them is guilty. Grab a tissue and get ready to laugh your way to a verdict.

When I received this set I had just started  another book by a different author.  I am someone who feels compelled to read a book to the end no matter how slow going it is, but when I got these I abandoned the other book because it was grating on me.  I am glad I did because this series is so good!  I love some of the situations the ladies get into that make me laugh out loud!  My neighbors probably wonder about me because I read my Kindle while taking a walk in the neighborhood, and am laughing out loud at this author's way with words and sense of humor.  If you like mysteries and quirky characters, you should like this series.

This is the first book in a new multi-authored mystery series about the town of Danger Cove.  I am looking forward to reading the series, which features many of my favorite authors.  It will be fun to watch the story unfold by different authors telling of the stories.
This "episode" revolves around Alex, a house flipper, and George, a florist, as the try to solve the murder and find George's missing diamonds.  A great murder mystery with a touch of romance and a good dose of humor.  Cannot go wrong with a talking parrot as a secondary character.  I have already pre-ordered the next book in the series.
I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion and  in no way did it affect my review of the story.

Low Country Bordello is the fourth book in this funny series about a private detective, Liz Talbot, who has a nasty habit of getting involved in solving murder cases  and oh, by the way, almost getting herself killed at the same time.

Liz is days away from her wedding to Nate, her business partner and soul mate when she gets a call from one of her best friends, Olivia. Olivia is dead sure she has stumbled across the body of her husband in a house of ill-repute. Olivia is a pretty high strung individual and wants Liz to come and help her in her hour of need. Thus starts the story and it all gets crazier from that point on.

Turns out that the bordello is pretty high class and has some unusual owners  including Olivia herself. Liz and her fiancee are on the case while at the same time trying to juggle parents, wedding plans, and general mayhem. Not to worry, though, as Liz is once again assisted (on the sly) by her best best friend of all time, Colleen. It just so happens that Colleen is a spirit and has been dead for many years but one cant let that get in the way of true friends or ham biscuits (one has to read the prior books to get that one.)

I have really enjoyed this series and enjoyed this latest entry as much as any of the others. I had a lot of fun reading the book and trying to solve the mystery at the same time. I recommend the book for anyone who likes a funny cozy mystery with a strong female lead.

I received a digital ARC copy of this book from the publisher, Henery Press, via Netgalley.

I really enjoyed this first book in the Maren Colepepper Mysteries.  You gotta love a girl who is down on her luck, losing her dream job in her dream city, only to come home with her tail between her legs (literally to a town she never wanted to come home to) and being able to find some happiness and job satisfaction in the process.  While Maren's dream life crumbled around her, she had to take the only job she could get...at a local newspaper in her hometown....it couldn't get any worse in her estimation.  She quickly stumbles on a potential story as things seem amiss at a local lumber mill and I laughed out loud as her sleuthing and story probing ensued.  She even finds an unexpected romance along the way, in the likes of handsome stranger who turns out to be not such a stranger after all.  This was a fun, quirky book with the right amount of humor, mystery, and romance, which makes me look forward to the next Maren Colepepper book!!

Ok, I didn't like the second book quite as much as the first, but it was nonetheless entertaining and laugh-out-loud funny, plus I guessed the perp, which made me happy. And no cliffhanger, just the promise of impending romance between two characters I really like, which I greatly appreciate. On to #3 ...
