I love all the Lord Harrington books because I associate with all the areas he describes and the foods.  Love everything about the books.

Love a mystery that I can't figure out until the very end.  Will read more by this author, most definitely.

One of my favorites!  Really enjoyed it.  I like mysteries that I can figure out but not too early in the book.  This fits.

Love a mystery that keeps you guessing until the final moment on how the detectives will solve the final twist. Fun to read but hard to put down.

I never tire of reading these mysteries.  Each one is different.  I sometimes tire of the same author's style of writing but no Jennifer L. Jennings. I get into the situations, the characters and the mystery.  I am compelled to solve the mystery before I get to the end of the book. That is challenging with this author.  I have not gotten the motive right yet, but have hit on the right subject.
Very enjoyable reading that makes me read faster and faster to see what's next.  I like these mysteries because they don't give me nightmares with gory details that are unnecessary to the story.  Good clean reading.

One of my favorite types of mysteries include those with a sane protagonist and lots of goofy characters.  This book doesn't disappoint.  The mystery is good and I look forward to reading more of Ms. Boyer's books.

I love this author because she writes mysteries that mostly take place in my home town, besides being a good read.  She says she isn't writing right now because she has granchildren!  Hope to find she has written a new one sooner or later.

I don't normally like mystery type books but this one is really interesting.  The writing is terrific-I will read this author again!

When Jack asks Jill and her writer friends to help look into a 5 year old cold case of a woman murdered at a party, it becomes a story of many twists and turns that keeps you guessing. I love the characters in this series, it is a mix of writers of different genres with unique personalities, Jill who runs the writers retreat is a strong likable woman, Jack a newspaper man who is curious about this story especially when the suspect is found dead, is also likable a possible romance for Jill. Blackbeard the parrot who always has his two cents to put in is a fun addition.
The mystery really did keep me guessing with each piece uncovered I kept changing my mind and the reason for the murder. I guessed who before Jill but did not have the why which was a twist I didn't see coming. I will definitely be continuing on with this series and eagerly await the next.

This was such a cute read!  I love a good mystery, but not the bloody stuff you find these days. I prefer old-fashioned mysteries where much of the action takes place in you own imagination. This story was a good one which kept me reading till the end.

I enjoy mysteries with  a heavy dash of WHY-done-its, surprise revelations along the way, and psychological profiling. I enjoy reading things that make me think "Oh Yes! I knew that" and "Oh yes, I have known people like that" and "Oh yes! I can see how that would happen!"

I also love getting so enmeshed in a story that I need to keep reading, and eating can wait, sleep can wait, bathroom breaks can wait-LOL  That doesn't often happen to me, but it happened with THIS book. I had read one other book in the series, and that explained a bit about the characters, however this book certainly could stand alone as a first  read.

I like getting so enmeshed that as the story goes along, I already know who I DON'T want to die at the end, even though I think they MIGHT.  I enjoy having opinions on characters and happenings as they go along, without the author having to laboriously explain them. I enjoy characters that are multidimensional and aren't all-good or all-bad. (that mirrors  real humans LOL)  I enjoy seeing into characters that aren't exactly as they want to portray themselves to the world...along with the smattering of what-you-see-is-what-you-get.

I love mysteries and this one kept me interested.  I liked Reilly Steel's character too.  I could relate to all of the characters.  I enjoyed it so much I purchased the second in the series right after.

My kind of mystery: interesting heroine, choice of good/bad guys and no graphic sex or violence to slow the plot. It kept mother and me guessing at every turn and every time I thought I knew who done it, wrong again. A very satisfying story. I look forward to read the other books in this series. My only negative is that I would have preferred shorter chapters.

Monika Everhardt is an ICU nurse.  She ends up involved in two separate cases in this book.  First there's a John Doe from a car accident.  Second there's a woman who had her head bashed in.  Both are in the ICU.

A friend asks Monika to help figure out the identity of John Doe because her mother is convinced he's her long lost son.  The police ask Monika's help in figuring out who bashed in the head of the woman.

Plus Monika is continuing to look into the death of her husband in Vietnam.

As she digs deeper into each mystery, the trail takes her from taverns to convents.  It even leads back to 9/11.  Often the past and the present combine in her quest for the truth.

Can she solve each of these mysteries?  Will she like what she finds out about her husband?

This is the second book I've read in this three-book series.  I can't wait for the next one.  I find them to be page turners but definitely cozy suspense.  The author has done a great job creating wonderful supporting people in and out of the hospital for Monika.  I like the hospital setting.

I highly recommend this book and series.

I like this type of light mystery, but the genre can be hit or miss - too many "cozy" mysteries are just romance novels with a puzzles.  Clara Benson on the other hand seems to have hit on a combination that seems just right.  Well plotted mysteries with an interesting set of characters.  Best of all she is prolific, so you don't have to wait years for a new installment and the price is certainly right.

Haven't finished it yet, almost 3/4 thru. At first I was put off by the idea of reading a lot of different reading styles, but this is an enjoyable book.  I don't always notice the differences in writers from chapter to chapter, the story seems to flow effortlessly. I can't help but be curious whether the writers all know 'who done it' before writing their part, but I can't tell. For those that love a mystery, this is a good one!
