Trawling for Trouble by Shelley Freydont – Review + Giveaway

Trawling for Trouble by Shelley Freydont is a novella in the Celebration Bay Mystery series. I have not read the other books in this series yet. Right away, I liked Liv Montgomery. She is trying to learn how to fish from Chaz, when she reels in a body. The mystery starts from the very beginning. I enjoyed the back-and-forth between Chaz and Liz. The author does a nice job with diving right into the mystery and plays out the mystery really well for a novella. This cozy is well-written. I enjoyed Trawling for Trouble by Shelley Freydont and I look forward to going back and reading the Celebration Bay Mystery series from the beginning.

Caught Read-Handed by Terrie Farley Moran – Review + Giveaway

Caught Read-Handed by Terrie Farley Moran is the second book in the Read ‘Em and Eat Mystery series. I enjoyed book one in the series, and I couldn’t wait to read another book set in Fort Myers Beach, Florida. Sassy keeps finding herself in trouble – right in the middle of murder investigations. Once she is embroiled in the investigation, it seems she can’t help herself but to get involved and start sleuthing.

There are a lot of things I really like about this series. The setting is wonderful. Every time Sassy and Bridgy talk about the Read ‘Em and Eat I just wanna hop in my car and drive right on down to Fort Myers Beach for …

A pungent smell emanating from the pool shed provides a perfect distraction. When a dead body flops out, it’s an answered prayer for Charlotte, since the first item on her list is to solve a murder.

Unfortunately for Charlotte and Francine, before they can discover who really killed the man, they must negotiate neighborhood tours of the crime …

The Case of the Dotty Dowager by Cathy Ace – Guest Post, Review + Giveaway @AceCathy

And now for something completely different…

This phrase made famous by the Monty Python team is a suitable way to introduce my new characters to you, not only because they are completely different, but because one of them is a big fan of all things Monty Python!
