Thanks Marisa. When I heard that Hallmark channel was broadcasting mystery movies based on this series I went back and read the first one, Real Murders, and found the other unread ones in my TBR.

Hi Cheryl, I'm well, thanks for asking. I have been looking forward to starting this series for a while. I love all the Denise Swanson books and I'm sure you will too. I've caught up with them all now though and have to wait until the new one comes out later in the year.

[Heather]

I missed the deadline! I think I will read at least two of the Inspector Kincaid and Gemma James novels. Anyone feel like throwing out a series? I will read two from the first series suggested that I haven't already read!!! Thanks! This isn't totally how it was supposed to work, but I'd love to join in, in an adapted fashion, since I didn't respond by the deadline! June is one of the months I get to read tons!!! School is out in 2 weeks!!! Woohoo!

Grannies, Guns and Ghosts

This is the second book in the senior sleuths series by Madison Johns and each one seems better than the last.

I have nearly finished this challenge already this month! One more book to go and this series will be finished. I am thoroughly enjoying it and would recommend it to anyone who likes a good food - based series. Lots of cool characters and some really crazy mysteries as well as some romance, just for good measure...

Finished with this series until something else comes out. There are so many more series I need to work on...

[Jill]

Finished one of my Molly Murphy books....As usual, Molly didn't disappoint me! In Dublin's Fair City I'm so enjoying doing this. It's a great way to catch up on series without feeling pressured, and you won't get burnt out on the series. Can't wait for next months.

[Jill]

I have finished Nancy Athertons Aunt dimity beats the devil and am getting ready toread Aunt Dimitys Death i knowvits out of sequence butthats how I got them from the library

[Amy]

Finished . I forgot how much I like Sister Agatha. Looking forward to reading the next in this series. Always fun to catch up with an "old friend" when you take a long break from a series.

[Fairlee]

Just finished my 2 for June-The Teaberry StranglerScones & Bones- loved them both,4 stars each

[Lauren]

I've actually read one book from my list but not the one that was picked for me. - this is a really good series.

I'll try to get to my pick this week or next.

[Marisa]

I've just finished one of the books in my series, A Cookbook Conspiracy, and I've enjoyed it as the previous ones in the series. I hope to be able to read the other one before the end of the month.

[Christine]

So far I have only read one of the books in the soup lovers series by Connie Archer. But I loved it so I guess I found a new series to read.

[Nell]

Comment from Jill G:

I finished my June reads I read 2 books from the Aunt dimity series by Nancy Atherton I loved both of them aunt dimity is a very personable ghost who gives guidance and opinions when needed. Some times when not needed or wanted.
I would give both books five stars

[Amy]

I finished my June challenge I read two books from the Sister Agatha series by Aimée Thurlo. Glad to have caught up with the Sister Agatha and the other nuns at the monastery.

Thanks everyone for a great challenge. I have so many new ideas for new series to read from reading everyone's posts!
