Another excellent book in the series. The characters are what keep bringing me back. I'll be waiting for the next one!

Thanks for the ARC Netgalley.

I enjoyed the storyline with the past and present timelines that eventually come together. The ending was not what I expected. I'm hoping and looking forward to more books in the series.

When the snake handling preacher dies, was it an accident or murder? I was really excited for this 2nd book in the series, but it wasn't quite as good as the first one. Lots of characters, twists and turns. I wasn't truly happy with the way it ended, but I'm looking forward to the next book in the series.

A novel retelling of the movie Psycho with a twist. I enjoyed this one!

Thanks for the ARC Netgalley.

A haunted library, locked room mystery that will keep you guessing. Multiple points of view changing with the chapters did make it confusing and caused a lot of back tracking to figure out who it was.

Thanks for the ARC Netgalley.

A Valentine's mystery weekend turns into a murder that needs to be solved. The best book in the series so far! I really enjoyed this one!

Thanks for the ARC Booksprout & Netgalley!

Very good thriller that you won't want to put down! Lots of twists and possible suspects will keep you reading.

I enjoyed this mystery set in Paris, France. I didn't realize it was part of a series, but I don't feel like I missed anything. The story does focus on the murder mystery at a chocolate company, rather than the bookshop, so the title is a little misleading. There were a few hints about the mystery of the bookshop, but the mystery was never solved. I do look forward to the next book in the series as I enjoyed the characters very much.

This was a fascinating glimpse into ancient Eqypt and 1920's Egypt when a lot of the tombs were being discovered. Somewhat dry in spots with a lot of information being thrown at you, the story really picked up towards the end.

Entertaining mystery although my favorite characters were the cab driver and his horse. I haven't read the 1st 2 books in the series, but don't feel like it hurt this storyline.

Thanks for the ARC Netgalley.

The story started out well and then got bogged down in details that were not completely relevant. I always enjoy reading historical novels for the history, but this was information overload. I never felt like the details of the investigation itself were revealed and I was surprised when he was suddenly arresting suspects, but we sure knew what he ate every day for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

What happens when you lose your job and inherit a run down Notting Hill home? Not what you might expect! So many twists and turns in this story, but it all comes together in the end.

Thanks for the ARC Netgalley!

Another intriguing historical mystery. This book involved members of the royal family that I hadn't really read about before, so it made for some interesting reading. I really enjoy this series and hope there will be more.

Thanks for the ARC Netgalley.

Murder and a haunted house make for a good story. There is a huge cast of characters, but my favorites were the ghosts, who were not featured enough. Definitely felt like a cozy mystery read.

Thanks for the ARC Netgalley.

The premise of the book was interesting, the large cast of characters was interesting. The story started ok and just fades somewhere along the way. I did enjoy the descriptions of the food and the cooking and the restaurants, but by the end, I didn't really care who the killer was.

Thanks for the ARC Netgalley.

The tone of this book is overwhelming grief. I wouldn't read it if you're depressed or grieving.

The main character was not very likeable and very annoying. The book was mainly based on reading her thoughts and her talking to her dead sister. I almost put it down, but did eventually finish it. Yes there's a twist at the end that I didn't see coming, but it took so long to get there.

Thanks for the ARC Netgalley.

The Tanner family disappeared 15 years ago and now the daughter has reappeared. Lots of characters involved in the action which made this a little confusing. This mystery-thriller will keep you guessing to the end.

Thanks for the ARC Netgalley.

The premise of the book was interesting, but I think I got lost in the number of characters that were involved in creating havoc. Trying to keep straight who did what was very confusing.

Thanks for the ARC Netgalley.

I love historical mysteries. This one is set in the 1900's in England which is a time period that I find interesting. The mystery itself was interesting. The romantic triangle just seemed like a means to an end and was not explored. Overall, the characters were interesting and the mystery was solved with the past and the present coming together nicely.

Thanks for the ARC Netgalley.

A PI who can see emotions is an interesting premise. Parts of the book were slow, others seemed to speed by with lots of action. I hope this is the start of a series.

Thanks for the ARC Netgalley!

I picked this one up and couldn't put it down. The incoming storm creates a sense of urgency for the characters. Some of them are working on a book about a past murder and others are just figuring out who they are. Several twists, even at the end, keep the pace moving. The ending was just ok, but the rest of it will keep you reading.

Thanks for the ARC Netgalley!

I picked this book because it was supposed to be a humorous take on the character Death. I couldn't find the humor. There was a lot of wandering thru several different subplots that were very dry and depressing. Even the ending didn't feel satisfying.

Thanks for the ARC Netgalley.

I really wanted to like this book more, but it was just ok. I didn't care much for the interaction between Jane and her husband. I didn't think Jane was a very likeable character. The mystery of Frank was just not exciting either. I finished the book and thought this was just an ok, kinda dry mystery.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I greatly enjoyed this debut novel. The main detective was interesting as were the rest of the detective crew. I'm looking forward to more books in this series.

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

I started this one and couldn't put it down. Interesting view points, including that of a young german woman pulled into the SS from prison. I stayed up way to late to finish this one.
