This is an easy to read cozy mystery. I have been enjoying this series and this one didn't disappoint. The characters are interesting and the time period is too. I look forward to more in this series. I feel like this can be read as a stand alone even with references to the past books. Thanks for the ARC Netgalley.

I really enjoy the cast of characters in this cozy mystery series. They're such a mixed bunch, but work well together as a team. This is the 3rd book in the series and I'm already looking forward to the next one!

Thanks for the ARC Netgalley.

I really enjoyed this 3rd book in the series. The 2 main detectives were interesting and the interplay between the 2 was interesting. The ex-wife was annoying and sad, the way she tried to fit in with the snobby crowd. So much time spent on her that really wasn't that interesting. The rest of the book made up for it, with 3 different investigations going on and a podcast filling in details.

The first part of this book drug with a really unlikeable main character in Iris. Her best friend who she aspired to be like, was also unlikeable. The book picked up in the middle, with the introduction of a few other characters, but the main characters didn't get any more likeable. This was just an ok read. I don't think I've ever read a book where so many of the characters are not likeable.

This book started out kinda dry, with 2 characters doing a lot of describing of their days. The middle picked up when the detectives were added and the story truly became a mystery. The ending was confusing. I don't feel like all the storylines were wrapped up well and I still don't feel like I know who did it.

Haunted House lovers will enjoy this story. Definitely spooky and weird. I enjoyed the historical timeline better than the current one. The mother and daughter in the current timeline were not as likeable as the characters in the past. Still, the story came together at the end with a satifisfying ending.

Thanks for the ARC Netgalley.

Good story, but slow to pick up. Once it did, the pieces finally started fitting together. I enjoyed it.

So good! I really liked Annie, the main character. I enjoyed the descriptions of the Appalachian small town and really want to go to that bakery. A few twists and I didn't guess who did it. Great debut! Hopefully this is a series? I'll be looking forward to more!

I thought I had it figured out and was so totally wrong! Lots of little twists and turns thru the whole book.

I was excited to read this book, a new one from an author I've always enjoyed reading. But I just wasn't thrilled with it. The main character Emmy was just ok. I preferred the secondary character Jude and wished for more of her. The story bogged down in spots. Several twists kept it interesting.

Not my normal type of story, for some reason I was expecting more of a msytery. I did enjoy the characters and the small town type atmosphere. If you're looking for an easy to read, vaction type book, this is it.

When I requested this book, the premise was interesting. When I started reading it, I just really wanted this book to end. There was so much tedius dialogue that I skipped over. The endless pages of the fingerprinting details were also skipped over. We knew who the killer was almost at the beginning and since there was no twist, nothing to surprise you, it stopped being interesting. The dialogue between the main character and the killer was boring. I kept reading thinking maybe there would that twist, but in the end, I was just happy the book was done.

I greatly enjoyed this mystery, with a father and daughter looking into the past to try to solve the mystery of the murders of her aunt and uncle. I was pulled into this and couldn't put it down. I read it in one day. I received an ARC from Netgalley.

This is the 4th book in the series and I think they just keep getting better. A great historical mystery with a bit of time travel leaving the main character, a modern police detective, stranded back in time in the body of a victorian woman. The adjustments she has to make to victorian sleuthing with her new group of friends and collegues are interesting. I've enjoyed all the books in the series and hope there will be more.

This book seemed more like a true telling due to the current state of the world, but it was entertaining. Rooting for the good guys all the way. The best scene was the drag queen show.

An enjoyable read that was slow to get going, but then kept my interest to the end. I'll be looking forward to the next book in the series.

Easy to read msytery with a lot going on. This 2nd book in the series contiues build on the history of the sisters but with that storyline and the main mystery it was a lot to keep straight. You can definitely read this as a standalone if you want.

A twisted mystery set on a tropical island with some interesting characters. I enjoyed this book and the descriptions of the island make me want to visit.

An entertaining horror novel that read well, although it bogged down in the middle part, before finishing up pretty well.

This story sucked me right in and I read it in one day. I really enjoyed the details about hiking the Appalachian Trail, the friendships formed and the heart it takes to make it thru. The characters were great - the missing hiker, the friend she'd been hiking with, the leader of the search and rescue team and the armchair detective. All different viewpoints who added greatly to the story.

Just when you think a reality tv show couldn't get any worse....

double twist! I forgot the title and that would have clued me in! slow to start and then really sucks you in.

Easy to read mystery. I thought I had figured out who the murderer was, but didn't. When I have time, I'll try to go back and read the 1st books in the series. I didn't feel like I missed anything by not having read them though.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

So my favorite character in this book and the one I would love to see more of is Essie. She wasn't the lead, but was so much more interesting than FBI agent Lana. The book really picked up about halfway thru with a few twists thrown in. I would read more from this author.

I really enjoyed this book! I had to keep reminding myself that these were high school kids. Easy to read with a nice twist at the end. I'll look for more from this author.
