Lie In The Tide by Holly Danvers opens with four high school friends meeting up in Cape Cod, Massachusetts for a reunion of sorts. When one of them doesn't show up, and no one can get a hold of her, the other friends are desperate to find out what happened. NetGalley, thank you for the Advanced Readers Copy (ARC) of this novel. I requested a copy of this book based on their synopsis and the author. When my request was approved, I was thrilled. The story started off well and kept me wanting to know more. Early on, I thought I had everything figured out, but much to my surprise, there was a plot twist I didn't count on.  I won't say more as to not spoil it for others. It's an easy read and perfect to take on vacation. Although I enjoyed Lie In The Tide by Holly Danvers a lot, I wish there was more action in the first half of the book. The second half was action packed, and I found myself rushing to finish the story to see if my gut instinct was correct. As for the charact...

Book Review: Trick or Treat Murder (A Lucy Stone Mystery, #3) by Leslie Meier

book review trick or treat murder by leslie meier

Trick or Treat Murder (A Lucy Stone Mystery, #3) by Leslie Meier is set in Tinker's Cove, Maine, and the entire town is preparing a party in a dilapidated mansion to celebrate Halloween. However, everyone is on edge because there has been a rash of fires thought to be the work of an arsonist. The latest one killing a summer resident. Who will be the latest victim?

Is anyone else a fan of Halloween like I am? This was the perfect book to put me in the mood for the holiday, and this is a must read if you do like Halloween. It brought back so many memories of my childhood of trick or treating and the Halloween parties that my parents and the rest of the parents in the neighborhood put on for us kids that were similar to the one in Trick or Treat Murder.

Having an arsonist setting fires in the book only made it creepier, but not scary. There were quite a few red herrings in the book. With that being said, there were clues to who it really was, and I dismissed those clues much to my chagrin.

The side story of Trick or Treat Murder is about the pitfalls of motherhood and having a new baby. Some of the things Leslie Meier talks about in the book is breastfeeding and not being able to keep up with the housework, so if either of these things are perplexing to you, you probably should pass on this book because it's mentioned quite a bit. With that being said, it didn't bother me in the least, but you never know what might upset people.

Four out of five stars is what I gave Trick or Treat Murder (A Lucy Stone Mystery, #3) by Leslie Meier. If you enjoyed this book, I'd recommend Plum Spooky (Stephanie Plum, #14.5) by Janet Evanovich, or for those who read books in the Young Adult genre, I recommend Trick or Treat by Richie Tankersley Cusick.
