The traditions of Mardi Gras are fascinating and well-explained in this book.  I like most of the characters and the whole Biscuit Bowl food truck element.  It makes this series stand out among other cozy mysteries.  The action was constant, the danger was palpable, and I didn't guess the murderer at all.  Good job!  The only reason I didn't give it 5-stars is that it seemed strange to have fricassee such a bit part of the Biscuit Bowl fare and have it in the book title, but not give the recipe at the end!  I'm looking forward to the next installment in this series.

This is a good detective mystery.  I am looking forward to more mysteries by Mike Markel, especially if it involves Detectives Seagate and Miner.

I love that this author has continued on with the Nero Wolfe mysteries.  His stories stay true to the descriptions and characters of the originals written by Rex Stout.  And, like all the other Nero Wolfe stories by Robert Goldsborough that I have read, this one does not disappoint.  Archie and Saul are at a ball game and witness a shooting, and then the widow of the man murdered hires a reluctant Mr. Wolfe to find out who murdered her husband.  Lots of twists and turns and interesting characters are involved before the mystery is solved by the big man.

Another delightful cozy mystery from Susan Gillard. Heather, our main character, is on the trail again to solve a mystery. She has her usual suspects plus the back up of husband Ryan the detective & support from her bestie Amy. And don't forget Dave the dog!! The latest new donut sure sounds delicious!! I can't imagine a raspberry mojito flavor! I have enjoyed the fairly new character, the young girl Lilly. There are new developments with Lilly & what will happen next in her life with an important decision she must make. The ending of this book was really great! I do not want to spoil the ending so you will have to read it & find out!

Gertrude is back! Can she solve the case of the death at her local Goodwill store without landing in jail? Our spunky senior is back and she has to use all her nonexistent customer service skill to solve her next mystery.  The banter is brilliant between the two main characters and the mayhem that ensues from her actions is delightful.  For anyone that likes cozy mysteries with humour and strong characters.  Highly recommended.

I am really enjoying these mysteries!  Diesel is such a great character for a cat.  I wish I could meet him in person!!  The story lines are intriguing, and keep me reading chapter after chapter.  There is always a surprise ending as well.  I look forward to many more hours of reading about these great characters.

Once again a ghost, this time a child, finds that Bay can see her and after a few attempted meetings the little girl decides she can trust Bay.  In the meantime the cousins have made Great Aunt Tillie angry again.  She makes all three cousins smell like freshly cooked bacon!  The cousins are angry and really embarrassed, but strangely enough their boyfriends think it's a great treat, it makes for some great laughs. The mystery is good and kept me guessing and I was really surprised about one of the "bad guys".  She brought in two new characters that we'll be seeing more of in future stories.  I really like Ms Lee's humor!

All of the Gus LeGarde Mysteries are a joy to read. Murder on the Brewster Flats is no exception. Pirates! Treasure! Murder!

Mr. Lazar's mysteries always have twists, turns, excitement, but primarily the stories are about family. Since Gus and Camille were on "vacation," I did miss the family interaction with Sieg and his grandson, but it was also nice to see Gus and Camille both working together to unravel the mystery. I haven't read his other series in this "crossover" novel, but I will.

Once again Brandy and Vivian Borne are on the trail of antiques, murderers and the truth. Serenity Iowa is so picturesque no one would ever think it could be the Murder Capitol of the Midwest. In particular, this latest book in the Trash and Treasures series seems to advance the story of characters we have come to know and love. Full of twists and turns, I found this tome even more entertaining than previous books in the series. I love the twist ? at the end. Anyone that thinks cozies are not true detective stories would do well to try this delightful and entertaining series.

This is another great mystery in the Dime Store series.  New characters show up--Dev's long lost mother and her current husband--and old characters are developed.  The murder actually brings to light a long ago mystery dealing with some of the founding families of the town.  Add to this the loony aspect of UFO followers and elderly dowagers verging on a tipsy senility, and you have a very interesting and intriguing read!

Gone Gull is the newest book in the Meg Langslow series. This time, Meg and her family have headed up to Biscuit Mountain to help her grandmother, Cordelia, with her summer program. Meg is teaching a blacksmith class, and the prior week had been wrought with pranks. As they head into the second week, Meg and Cordelia try to make sure the prankster has left. However, now the pranks have been upgraded to murder! When a fellow artist is found stabbed to death in his studio, we see Chief Heedles again visiting a crime scene. Meg is determined to do what she can to stop the vandal and the murderer! As usual, her curmudgeonly grand father gets involved when the murder victim also holds the secret to finding a rare breed of gulls previously thought extinct. After another murder victim pops up, there is a direct threat to her family as well. Meg steps up her game with the help of her beloved family members.

What I love about these mysteries (other than Meg herself) is Meg's family! My only complaint is that as her twins get older, we see less interaction between Meg and Michael. But as usual, Ms. Andrews has written a very entertaining mystery!

I received a digital ARC from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Another great read in an interesting series that brings special ladies Scotti and Zelda to readers. The author uses a touch of humor, the love of baking and an intriguing mystery together in this second in the series. When a veteran, Ron, comes up missing and is later found dead, Scotti is not going to let the ruling of suicide stand and is on a journey to discover the truth. Anita Rodgers writes great mysteries that readers need to checkout.

I have liked all of the books in this series and I was very happy with this latest installment.  All of the New York details have always been an essential backdrop to all of the Coffee House stories, and this book is no exception.  I loved that the author found a way to bring the FDNY into this story, as they are a key part of the New York landscape.  We've had the NYPD represented with Clare's boyfriend Mike, and it was great to see the FDNY and Mike's cousin Michael play such a big part of the book.  All of my favorite characters were well represented here, particularly Madame and Clare's ex-husband Matt.  Thankfully Matt's wife Breanne was only mentioned in passing.  I really do like the Clare and Matt scenes and Matt's wife tends to get in the way of that.

There were so many red herrings scattered throughout the book that the mystery really doesn't get unraveled until the end.  You'll think (along with Clare) that you've got the mystery solved several times, but chances are you haven't.  This was another great cozy to curl up with!

Cozies set in my home state of Vermont are quite rare so that makes this series extra special to me.

In this 3rd book in the series it's Halloween in Snowflake and the Harvest Festival is keeping everyone busy. With many strangers in town one man draws attention to himself by standing outside the Spoonful and watching Lucky's young waitress Janie. Who is he and what does he want? At the same time a man is found murdered by the side of the road. When an insurance investigator comes to town inquiring about an armored truck robbery several years ago which may have involved carnival travelers, it begins to look like the events may be related.

I was very suspicious of one character here, and I was proven to be right. But besides the mystery, this book is rich in stories about relationships, from Janie, her mother Miriam, and a ghost from their past, to Lucky, her boyfriend Elias, and an unwanted intruder in their romance. New England has a rich history which is reflected in this book, and I really enjoyed that as well. I highly recommend this series to anyone who loves culinary cozies!
