Saturday did not start out well for Madi, keeper at the Avery Zoo. The
regular keeper for the penguins was late, so those duties were temporarily
added to hers.  Until she found his body in the penguin pool.  And that's
just the beginning of this well crafted mystery puzzle full of twists,
turns, and too many suspects for Madi to be sure of, including a protest
group who have been causing trouble for a while now.  There are more
incidents, interpersonnel conflicts, and a real surprise ending.  Don't
miss this one!

The Sinful Sleuthing Society are on another mission. Plot twists and a surprise or two keep the reader guessing. I love the interchange between the women and the mobsters' delight at watching what they get themselves into; but my favorite thing is the creative way the ladies talk themselves out of trouble when caught at something by Carter or Deputy Breaux.

A fun mystery with a twist of laughs as Leigh does a lot of sleuthing and can't seem to keep from doing it, although she is a news writer.  She has her desire or nosiness for finding the answers to the different mysteries that come her way.  A page turner and keeps you interested.  Reminds me a lot of Janet Evoniches books.  Each book is a new mystery that Leigh just can keep from investigating while her dear friend from school who is an investigator seems to follow her around to keep her from getting into trouble and is always one step behind Leigh.  Very good series.

Murder and mayhem await as our much loved author/ sleuth sets off to visit friends at their "little castle" resort in the Highlands.

I was pleased to read an advance copy of this book.

In this latest escapade, Diane manages to set her sleuthing skills to work on a tangled mystery involving multiple business and marital betrayals, give us some awesome descriptions of the Isle of Skye, and get in some writing - that is the fictional author is busy sleuthing as well as writing.

I always enjoy the colorful characters, as well as Diane's wry sense of humor.

If you enjoy a classic Christie style mystery with a bit of modern flair and technology, this could be your next murder mystery.

I loved finding a new amateur sleuth book that's not over the top silly. Wendy Roberts has written a very compelling mystery with characters that are real people, with real, emotional lives. The paranormal aspects were well-handled and did not dominate the story. I really loved her writing, and the twists kept me interested, even if the killer was dead obvious halfway through the book. Hopefully the next in the series will be out soon.

What a wonderful new twist for one of my favorite sleuths. And equally, a terrifically capable and intelligent female counterpart! I might have to read it again soon, just to see that I didn't miss anything.

I obtained this book from another source. This book is full of twists and turns. I loved it that you didn't know who the killer was until the very end. Marla is a fabulous sleuth and sends us down a suspenseful trail of clues and red herrings. I especially enjoyed the relationship she has with Dalton and his daughter, her concern for her dear friend Tally and Tally's adorable baby Luke. The baby brings out different side of Marla we haven't seen before. I found it quite endearing and highly recommend this book.

Fun and quick to read with plot twists that keep you guessing!  Is it deep and complex?  I don't know, but it was entertaining and I immediately bought book 4!

These mysteries are great especially if you're a knitter!  You'll feel like you're part of the knitting group as they solve murders in this sleepy little seaside town.  Once I start reading one, I just can't put it down!

Great fun!  I really find Lilah Drake an engaging amateur sleuth!  This addition to the series had a greater emphasis on the growing relationship between Lilah and Jay Park, her detective boyfriend.  For this reader, I was firmly convinced that one the "red herrings" was in fact the killer but alas, I was soooo wrong. LOL.  To me, the person who "done it" wasn't even on my possible  list of suspects.  I do hope this series continues -- solid plotting, well written and engaging characters!

For such a short read, this book really draws you in and keeps you guessing! If you love cozy mysteries with a comedic twist, definitely check out Stephanie Bond.

Full of twists and turns - some of which can be foreseen but many stay hidden until revealed.  Really enjoyed it!
