Firefly Junction #11
Death at the Museum
Sunni Taylor has once again settled into her journalist position under a new boss and a new lead reporter. The fact that the new lead reporter, Dave Crockett, just happens to be her sister's boyfriend makes things a little more complicated, but Sunni is determined to be content. She now has more time to spend planning for the opening of the Cider Ridge Inn. When Prudence Mortimer, the new owner of the Junction Times sends her on assignment to the Egyptian artifact exhibit at the museum, Sunni is excited to learn about the ancient treasures. But, as is usually the case, trouble and, yes, murder, follow her to the new assignment. Sunni soon finds herself chasing a thief and a killer.

“Calling All Egyptian History Lovers”
I fell in love with Egyptian history in the 6th grade right after I fell in love with mysteries. So, imagine the literary fun when you read a book that combines them both. “Mystery at the Museum” is the latest installment in the Firefly Junction Cozy Mystery series and London Lovett provides a story chocked full of action, intrigue and mischievousness.
Sunni has been given a newspaper assignment to cover the unveiling of an Ancient artifact on loan from the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. While attending the event it is discovered that the artifact has been replaced with a fake and one of the plot employees has been murdered. Leave it to Sunni to find herself on the other end of breaking news and a dead body.
To make matters worse, Dave, Sunni’s colleague and boyfriend of one of her sisters witnessed some of the strange shenanigans of Edward, the ghost who lives at the Inn she is restoring. Now he is on a mission to write a front page article about ghosts at her Inn before she even opens the doors. My, my, my!
You can’t help but have fun when reading about a bunch of cleverly crafted characters including a cranky and temperamental ghost. My only complaint is that I wanted a little more time with Sunni and her boyfriend, Jackson. There’s a lot of action, suspects and good old fashioned juicy gossip in this little gem and of course Egyptian history and a mystery to solve.

Sunni's back in business. Well, sort of. She's settling into life as the no-longer-lead-reporter (under Daaaaave, meh) and her inn is coming along and she and Brady are doing a-okay. She's actually given a story she's interested in (Prudence seems to have figured out that fluff pieces don't sell newspapers) and she manages to be in the right place at the right time to be on hand when a body is discovered.
Which isn't really out of the norm for Sunni, come to think of it.
Part of me thinks I should feel bad for Dave because even when he's directly given the story of the murder, he can't figure things out like Sunni can, but NO. I still don't like him. I don't care if he saved Sunni's life or whatnot. I don't like him and his backhanded ways of digging for a story. (Although I kind of also get why he kept digging about the inn, BUT STILL. I don't like him.)
Anywho. A dead body, a forgery, a handful of suspects, a sprinkling of clues, and a ghost who falls into bouts of melancholy upon occasion. Life is good in Firefly Junction.

Entertaining.
I've read the whole series so far. In fact, I have already bought the entire series. This one was enjoyable, as usual. I won't write another review of this book because there are already enough. If I have any criticism, it would be that sometimes the dialogue between Sunni and Jax teeters, just slightly, on the "cutesy" edge. I wish they would have more adult discussions instead of heading on into cuteness overload. I was also mentally chastising Sunni for a rather selfish attitude about what she wants her inn to be. Edward also lives there. He's lived there way longer than Sunni has but she doesn't want her inn to be a gathering place for ghost busters. So that means Edward has to stay away from the guests and not be who he is, which is a ghost. She didn't ask him what he wants. He's just supposed to be happy that the place is looking good again. I didn't like Dave, but he did force Sunni to finally face the fact that her inn is still going to be haunted by a ghost and she won't be able to do much about that. And maybe she doesn't really want to.

I enjoyed this book very much! Sunni is settling in to her new job at paper, including working with her sister's boyfriend, Dave Crockett. Unfortunately Dave sees something that sends him on his own mysterious story. In the meantime Sunni is sent to museum to cover the Egyptian artifact on borrow from Egypt, and everyone is excited for the unveiling at a big reveal party.
Unfortunately, as Sunni's boyfriend Brady Jackson is fond of saying, he tells her to stay out of trouble, and history proves true when there is a murder at the museum. In the meantime Sunni has to deal with her ghost doing something which can expose her Inn.
Read and catch up with what is going on in Firefly Junction and all the characters there! I gave this book 5 stars!
Read the whole series, you will love them!

This is one of my favorite series and this newest book didn't disappoint. Egyptian artifacts and a well written story make this book a fascinating read. Add in the quirky characters and fabulous setting and you get a great book. And let's not forget Edward, our resident ghost. I received an ARC of this book and I'm voluntarily providing an honest review.

I love the interaction between Sunni and Edward. I did feel this book stopped just a little too abruptly. It just felt like it suddenly stopped and there were questions I wanted answers to. We didn't see the reaction to Dave's story. We didn't see the reaction to Dave not getting the information about the murder or the recovery of that item. That's why I took off a star.

As always Jackson saves the day and the girl ! I am shocked though that he takes it so well that Sunni is so good at her sleuthing.
I love all the characters EXCEPT Raine ! She is the most obnoxious fake I have ever read about. How could Sunni be best friends with her ? I hope she gets written out of the story.

Another awesome book in the Firefly Junction series. I love how the characters are all settling in and I was on the edge of my seat until the end trying to figure out who the murderer was. A wonderful beach read. Even though it is a standalone book, I would suggest you start from the beginning.

What can I say. The story was great as usual. These books just get better and better. The characters are awesome. They seem like real people and I want to keep reading about their relationships with each other. On to book 12. Enjoy the whole series, you'll love it.

This is another great book in the Firefly Inn series by London Lovett. Sunni has her hands full dealing with Dave Crocket and a theft and a murder all at the same time.
