Book Review: Bridal Shower Murder (Lucy Stone, #31) by Leslie Meier

Bridal Shower Murder (Lucy Stone, #31)  by Leslie Meier  opens with Lucy Stone rushing home to clean house for Zoe who is bringing home her boyfriend Chad. While there, Zoe and Chad announce their engagement but want to keep it a secret for a bit.  When a nosy busybody named Janice gets the best of Lucy, the mother of the bride blurts out Zoe's secret. Chaos ensues with a murder and an overdose. NetGalley, thank you for approving me to receive an Advanced Readers Copy (ARC) of Bridal Shower Murder .  I've come to love Leslie Meier's Lucy Stone cozy mystery series and know that I will automatically read any book in this series without reading the synopsis. I have to say that this was one of the best stories in the series for multiple reasons. The first reason is that Lucy's husband isn't quite so sexist, which is refreshing for a change. I dislike it when he acts like a caveman who expects Lucy to be a housewife and wait on him hand and foot. What really surprised me...

Book Review: Fortune and Glory: Tantalizing Twenty-Seven (Stephanie Plum, #27) by Janet Evanovich

Fortune and Glory: Tantalizing Twenty-Seven (Stephanie Plum, #27) by Janet Evanovich opens with Stephanie Plum and her Grandma Mazur still searching for Jimmy Rosolli's treasure, but they're not the only ones looking for it. On top of that, Stephanie is being followed by a woman that she thinks Morelli is dating.

One of the things I enjoyed about Fortune and Glory: Tantalizing Twenty-Seven is that it picked up where Twisted Twenty-Six (Stephanie Plum, #26). It was a fun, entertaining read that made me laugh out loud in spots. I really enjoyed a new character named Potts because he provided some much needed comic relief. I foresee him becoming a reoccurring character.

Like the previous book, I found some inconsistencies in the details, which makes me think that the latest in the series is being ghost written as well. It's a bit frustrating, especially since I've come to love the Stephanie Plum book series. 

On top of that, we're back to Stephanie screwing up again when it comes to capturing the fugitives and needing Ranger's help yet again. She's also broken up with Joseph Morelli and becomes super jealous when she thinks he's dating someone else. I wish they'd get married, or at least make some sort of commitment because this on again, off again situation is disappointing this far along in the series.

All in all, I enjoyed Fortune and Glory: Tantalizing Twenty-Seven (Stephanie Plum, #27) by Janet Evanovich and gave it four out of five stars. I'm looking for to reading the next book in the series.
