Pleasant read. Well written and amusing. If you're in a mood for a gentle mystery with PG-rated steam, this book is for you. :) ...more

Another great mystery and Ellery and Jack are moving forward but throwing the doctor in the mix really infuriated me.
The cast of quirky characters in this series is a boon. But I'm learning not to get too attached, you never know who could be the next murderer. Or their victim. ...more

Still in the cozy mystery groove! Well at least with this series. I really enjoyed this installment.

I like the deeper feelings and slow progression of Ellery’s and Jack’s relationship. But Watson continues to be my favorite. Lol

Interesting mystery. I always suspect everyone but Ellery, Jack, and Nora. But with all the secrets on this island I’m thinking Nora might have a closet with some skeletons.

Continues to be an entertaining cozy mystery series. I'm going to try some of the Diana Killian cozies, since that's another pen name for the author. (Name checked in this book.) ...more
