Review:Not my favorite. Guessed the murderer right at the start. Only kept reading to understand the reasoning behind the killings. Not an exciting read.

I wanted to read that book but I decided against it as book 6 of the series will be published later in the year. I want to read the series in order of the books. But I hope you will like it Dee.

I so enjoy this cozy mystery series. This book continues from the last one, on answering questions on the 50 year old mystery of the doubloons and the missing Vernon. But what I really enjoyed was learning more about great great great aunt Eudora. But what of the mystery light at Captain’s Seat and the scent of roses? I still think the house is haunted. So looking forward to the next book

To qualify for this task, the book’s cover needs to clearly and obviously show a beach. Ideally, you would want to show sand/dirt and the edge of water on your covers. You can use any edition’s cover to qualify for this task. Please include the qualifying cover in your completion posts.

Review: One fun fake-boyfriend trope. Grumpy Chef Storm ropes teasing snarky Hennessy into being his fake boyfriend, and the chemistry is off the wall. Loved it!

Task 5 - 23. Each teammate reads a book that has been read by one of the RRRC moderators. No pass for this task.

To qualify for this task, the selected books need to be marked as read by one of the RRRC moderators. There is no date requirement for this task, but the selected book must be marked as read and rated. Please include a link to the moderator's review or read shelf in your completion posts. To make your searching easier - Fran, Jane, Karen and I all read MM Romance, but Jane reads MM exclusively. Fran, Karen and I read both MF and MM.

Fran's profile is private, but I'm sure she will accept any friend requests. 😊
