Secret at Skull House is a wonderful cozy mystery. I devoured this book in one sitting! They mystery part will keep you guessing and fully invested in the outcome. The very slow burn romance will hold your interest and have you rooting for Ellery to get his HEA. I can't wait for the next book in this addictive series! ...more

A fun addition to this series. It was a little distracting to read a story featuring another tale by Layon featuring a bookstore owner in love with a cop (see the Adrien English series), but I LOVE the Adrien English series, so it proved to be a welcome repeat. :)
