MY REVIEW
Two
thumbs and two paws up for MISSION IMPAWSIBLE, the newest installment in the
Paws & Claws Mysteries!
I am
not the least bit surprised that MISSION IMPAWSIBLE was a brilliantly fun read.
Author Krista Davis manages to make each new book in this series even better
than the one before.
This
fourth addition to the series features a match-making event for pet owners.
What could be more perfect for the animal loving town of Wagtail, Virginia? Of
course, not everyone is feeling the love. And in a cozy mystery, that can mean
murder. Okay, 99.999% of the time it does mean murder.
With
Krista Davis, as always, creating a mystery that grabs the reader from the very
beginning, I couldn’t put this book down. I was so involved in this delightful
story, the exciting end came before I knew it.
The
back of the book has some great recipes for people and dogs!

kind for yourself . . . pick up a copy of MISSION IMPAWSIBLE of your own!

MY REVIEW
Readers
are going to be flying high while they read BLOWN AWAY!
Author
Clover Tate wasted no time getting down to business in this first book in the
Kite Shop Mysteries. By the last word of chapter one, readers are introduced to
six characters, and the murder victim is found!
I’ve
never really been into flying kites, but I do love watching them and seeing the
beautiful designs and colors. After reading this story I now have a bit of a fascination
with them. Ms. Tate’s descriptions really pulled me into her protagonist, Emmy
Adler’s joy of kite craftsmanship.
For a first in a series, BLOWN AWAY was very
well done. As soon as I opened the book, this entertaining tale kept me reading
straight through until the end. The plot was a real attention holder, with a
mystery that held more twists and turns than a kite in a wind storm.

A WEE HOMICIDE IN THE HOTEL
Book 3 in the Scotshop Mysteries
by Fran Stewart
The national bestselling author of A Wee Dose of Death returns to Hamelin, Vermont, where Peggy Winn, owner of a Scottish-themed shop, is spectator to caber tossing, sword dancing, and just a spot of murder...
Hamelin is overflowing with tourists enjoying the Scottish-themed games—and most of them are donning tartans from Peggy Winn’s ScotShop. And her fourteenth-century ghostly companion, Dirk, has been indispensable, keeping an eye out for shoplifters and matching customers’ family names to their clan plaid.
Adding to the chaos is Big Willie, a longtime champion of the games, but not everyone is happy to have him in town. So when he misses the first event of the weekend, Peggy senses something is awry. After Willie is discovered dead in his hotel room, the victim of a bagpipe-related crime, Peggy decides it’s up to her and Dirk to suss out a murderer.

MY REVIEW
Dirk the highland haunter is back in another fun installment
of the Scotshop Mysteries!
Author Fran Stewart has written another delightful story in
her Scotshop para-cozy mystery series. As with her last book, I commend the
author for her talent for keeping spirit Dirk’s old world Scottish speech right
on target.
A WEE HOMICIDE IN THE HOTEL, finds Hamelin, Vermont holding
the annual Highland Festival. The town is up to its kilt hems in bagpipes,
hammer throwing, caber tossing, and murder! Series lead, Peggy Winn, and her
temperamental ghost pal Dirk are once again knee socks deep in the middle of
things.
This was a well plotted mystery that had a lot going on. It
kept me guessing the entire way through, and I came close to solving it. But in
the end, I was out smarted big time.
I have to mention on of my favorite parts of the book. Each
chapter starts with a quote, and an Act and Scene number. Fun!
