Sticks and Stones and a Bag of Bones by Heather Weidner

As always, it is an easy thing to try a start to any cozy mystery series. The stage here is set, and the town and its members are discussed before one of them turns up dead. I have read very few where the issue was just burglary since that seems more probable, but given how…

A Lady Eleanor Swift Mystery #12,#13 by Verity Bright

I have read and reviewed almost all previous books of this series on the blog. It is soon going to make its way to maximum number of books from a series that I have read. It is hard to review a consistently good series. It almost feels like its enough to say that thanks to…
