Book Review: Live and Let Chai by Bree Baker

 


Live and Let Chai - Bree Baker - 4 Stars - A cute southern charm cozy mystery! (Book 1 in the Seaside Cafe Mystery Series)

What a fun little cozy mystery with all the southern charm, tea, cafe and beach vibes you could want! I really enjoyed this one and look forward to reading the next in the series. This is set in the town of Charm, North Carolina on the Outer Banks. Everly Swan has returned home and has a beautiful little home on the beach. She has opened a tea shop called Sun, Sand, and Tea cafe that sells a variety of teas and foods! We love to see it! All of a sudden, Everly stumbled upon the body of the town councilman she has been arguing with for a long time, dead from what appears to be poison from her teas! She becomes the number one suspect and Detective Grady Hays starts trying to solve the case....but he won't be able to solve it without the sleuthing of Everly to clear her own name.

This was a lot of fun. I need to try the recipes out in the back of the book! Some great tea recipes! Liked we had a little romance going on toward the end too. Really engaging story and really appreciate no language or explicit content. A fun clean cozy mystery!

  Lending a Paw by Laurie Cass - 4 Stars  Book 1 in A Bookmobile Cat Mystery Series This was a fun introduction to a new cozy mystery series with a cute cat sleuth helping along the way! With the help of her rescue cat, Eddie, librarian Minnie Hamilton is driving a bookmobile in the resort town of Chilson, Michigan. Things happen she least expects when Eddie runs off and finds the body of a local man in town..... Minnie is ready to let the police solve the case but Eddie seems to smell a rat! Together they work to find the killer.  This was a really fun one to read while I was recovering from having surgery this last week! :) As a gift from my friend Tammy, I am so glad I read it! (And that I had my kitty Simba right there with me while I read it was a cute bonus!) Eddie is a stubborn kitty and I LOVED THAT! He kept on pushing the limits to help Minnie out. :)  A bookmobile is also a unique thing to find in books that I absolutely loved. I am looking forward to more ...

Book Review: All My Secrets by Lynn Austin

  All My Secrets - Lynn Austin - 5 Stars All My Secrets by Lynn Austin is a multigenerational story of 3 women that explores first loves, grief, high society lifestyle, history, the Christian faith and the essence of what matters most in life. I highly recommend this book as I was fully immersed in the story and characters.  Set during the Gilded Age in New York, we see the strength of the Stanhope women following the passing of Arthur Stanhope. Left uncertain of their future paths, Junietta, Sylvia, and Adelaide grapple with the ramifications of Arthur's will and the looming uncertainty surrounding their family's estate. As they navigate through the aftermath, family secrets begin to unravel, shedding light on their intertwined history. I absolutely loved this story.
