Alex's This and That

Booked 4 Murder by J.C. Eaton

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This one was funny and cute. It's not really a murder mystery as much as just a mystery. Phee is likable and so is her mother. It takes place in her mother's senior living community in Arizona. After several members of her book club die whiel reading a 'cursed' book, she calls Phee in to solve the crime even though Phee is a just an accounts clerk for a police force in Minnesota. Much cuteness and funniness ensue!

Cloche and Dagger by Jenn McKinlay

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


This was our July cozy at Cozy Mystery Once a Month Book Club(facebook) and I enjoyed it much more than I thought I would, especially the special little twist at the end. Scarlett Parker moves to England to help her cousin run a hat shop they inherited from their grandmother, and murder and mayhem ensues. Viv, her cousin, is missing, she doesn't know how to make hats and a posh Lady is murdered wearing only a hat that Viv designed!

The characters are likable, and the story has a nice pace. I will actually read more of this series.
