Book Review: The Murderous Type (The Bookstore Mystery, #2) by Sue Minix

The Murderous Type (The Bookstore Mystery, #2) by Sue Minix was published on May 25, 2023 and is about a crime writer named Jen, who has taken over her friend's bookstore.  When the mayor and a local restaurateur die, Eric, a local police officer, becomes a suspect.  Jen knows she has to prove his innocence. A huge thank you goes out to NetGalley and Avon Books UK for approving me for an Advanced Readers Copy (ARC) of The Murderous Type (The Bookstore Mystery, #2) by Sue Minix.  I love Minix's first book in the series so much, I knew I had to read the sequel.  I received this book for free in exchange for my honest review. Where has Sue Minix been hiding?  She is an amazing author, and I have just fallen in love with her mystery series.  I could just gush about her talent as a writer.  This sequel virtually picks up where the first book left off.  With that being said, it can be read as a stand alone novel, and the reader won't feel like they missed anything because the a

Book Review: The St. Valentine's Day Cookie Massacre by Elisabeth Crabtree

book review of St Valentines Day Cookie Massacre  Elisabeth Crabtree

The St. Valentine's Day Cookie Massacre (Hatter's Cove Gazette Mystery, #1) by Elisabeth Crabtree opens with Kat Archer being assigned to cover the grand opening of Miss Dolly's Cookie Jar and Sweets Emporium  by the Hatter's Cove Gazette in Hatter's Cove, Florida. What is supposed to be an ordinary assignment, turns into a treacherous investigation when one of the employees at the 'Cookie Jar' is found dead.

What's not to like about this first book in a series? I absolutely fell in love with The St. Valentine's Day Cookie Massacre, and I can't wait to read the rest of the books in the series. Although, it's considered a cozy mystery, it has a bit of everything in the story, including a bit of humor. It was such an enjoyable read and one that I could see turned into a television series. One can hope, right?

For such a quick read, I was pleasantly surprised that the characters were as developed as they were. The writing was done in such a way that it played like a movie in my mind, and I felt like I was right there with the characters. The only negative thing I can say about The St. Valentine's Day Cookie Massacre was that I was able to figure out who the killer was easily, but it didn't detract from the story.

Five out of five stars is what I gave The St. Valentine's Day Cookie Massacre (Hatter's Cove Gazette Mystery, #1) by Elisabeth Crabtree. I can't wait to see what the next book has in store for me. If you liked this book, the I recommend reading Spying in High Heels (High Heels, #1) by Gemma Halliday.
