This past week & weekend I finished "A Timely Vision" by Joyce & Jim Lavene.(A Missing Pieces Mystery). I'm not sure how I feel about this series yet. I bought #1 & #3 in the series(they didn't have the second one in the store) and since I believe in giving most series a chance, and I don't like to skip in sequence, I will be reading at least three of these. By that time, I will know if I will continue this series or not. I also finished "A Killer Plot" & "A Deadly Cliché " both by Ellery Adams. (Books by the Bay series) Mixed feelings on this series so far. I have had a hard time warming up to Olivia, but that goes with her character, (so far) in the book so I guess I have to say that Ellery Adams succeeded in creating a character that you had to get to know well before bonding with. My favorite character , so far, in this book is Police Chief Rawlings. I like that he is not a New York model body or California beach body type but his personality drew me to him quickly. I will read another in the series just to see what happens in his life. He is precious. .....and

I finished the Ms. America three books (so far) in the series. They are called Ms. America Mysteries by Diane Dempsy and they are sooo good. You can read my reviews, but the plots are excellent and the characters are great and they are so funny and cozy!!! Honestly, they are delightful, all three of them!

[Liora]

I just finished by Molly MacRae. I wish I could say I enjoyed it, or that it was fun, but I cannot. I found it rather tedious and struggled to finish it.

[Lynn]

I finished The Cat Next Door by Marian Babson last night. I don't see her books mentioned too often here, and that's a shame.

Love Aggie.

[Nell]

Read Devil's Trumpet by Mary Freeman. It is a very good first in this series.

[Valerie]

Just reading I'm almost at the end and have still don't know who done it.

Look forward to reading the next one in the series. The characters and the village are great.

[Mary (Biblophile)]

Just finished . It was okay. I thought the others in the series were better.

[Chuck]

Finished Jenn McKinlay. Enjoyed it except for Mel Situation

[Christina]

Twanged by Carol Higgins Clark. I have loved all the books in this series so far. I really enjoy some of the characters very much.

[Zoe]

I finished , a highly enjoyable read.

[Melissa]

I just finished and enjoyed it. I really liked the Southern setting. I will say I figured out who did it about mid-way through and I don't usually figure them out. In this case it was just a couple of things that were said about the murderer stuck out to me and I kept thinking it was that person.

I was so upset about the Mel situation I had to come onto this thread to chat!

Yes, the Mel thing is just SO unnecessary!

I recently finished fellow Colorado mystery author Margaret Coel's The Silent Spirit and loved it, as I have all of her books that I've read.

[MaryJo]

Today I finished by Josephine Tey.
Someone told me I would enjoy it, but not as much as Brat Farrar and they were right. The author's development of her main character, Lucy, was Great, though, so often very amusing. this is a book for lovers of the older type cozy, British scenario. Tey's books tend to follow a different pattern sometimes, and in this one the actual body doesn't turn up until almost the end.

I recently finished "A Deadly Cliche". I understand what you said about Oliva, but I feel she is moving towards being a more personable character. I like to read the little bits about the books the book club members are sharing. Nice touch for a book club mystery.

[Diane ~Firefly~]

I just finished and really enjoyed. I only looked at it because I saw it posted here a bunch of times and everyone seemed to like it - so thanks everyone for the rec!

[❂ Murder by Death]

Finished Gluten for Punishment a couple of nights ago. I gave this 4 stars in spite of a possible love triangle (gag!) and an annoying "woe is me" vibe - I'm confident that will disappear by the second book. But the love triangle...grrr

[Katherine]

Finished in one day and absolutely loved it. I felt the Irish setting and characters provided an amazing story. It is a example of my perfect definition of a cozy mystery. I can't wait for the next adventure and plan on trying out Connolly's other series.

I've been hesitant on this one because I don't much care for her other series. Maybe I'll take a look at it again.

Me too Melodie - I'll wait to see what you think

[❂ Murder by Death]

LOL, me three! I've been waiting for one of you two to give it a go and see how you like it before deciding whether or not to buy it.

[Heather L , Cozy Mysteries Moderator]

Finished The Long Stitch Good Night by Amanda Lee. Now to find book five of the series, Thread on Arrival, before book six comes out. :-\

Okay! I was ordering some books from Amazon that are on EW's summer must read list, so I ordered BURIED IN A BOG, too!

Way to take one for the team!! lol :D

[Zoe]

I finished and I liked it but the ending was a little rushed, in my opinion. Unfortunately, there'll be no more books in the Maternal Instincts series, as Diana Orgain will start a new mystery series involving a reality TV show and will also co-write the next book in Laura Childs' scrapbooking series, entitled Gilt Trip

[Melissa]

Oh no, I love the Maternal Instincts series. Boo!

[Leslie]

I finished one of my Kindle freebies The Ghost Orchid Murder, which I thought was terrible! Poor writing, editing, and preachy Christianity... To be avoided :(

[Kristin]

I just finished Sprinkle with Murder by Jenn McKinlay. I liked the twists and turns, but I knew who the killer was practically before the body had been discovered. Jenn is a good writer and I'm looking forward to reading the next one in the series.

I just love her!

[Lynn]

Just finished Sweet Revenge. It was a fairly interesting read, but I wish the author had done some more research and understood the historical scandal she picked to use. It really seemed as though she had only a passing knowledge and then tried to base a complicated plot on that bit of wikipedia information. But for the recipes alone it was worth it.

I LOVE the chocolate shortbread recipe she has in there. Yum!

[❂ Murder by Death]

I finished Hex on the Ex. It was much better than the last book and I'll be looking for the next one. But the killer was WAY too obvious from about the last third of the book. Oh well. Still 4 stars.

[Chuck]

Finished . Great read very interesting. Looking forward to the next in the series

[Susie]

Just finished and really enjoyed it!

[Melissa]

Finished and also read , , and over the long weekend.

[Karen M]

Finished Blue Shoes and Happiness. I think I'll take a little break from this series since I am at the halfway point.

[Melissa]

Just finished last night. I liked the Chicago setting and the movie/Hollywood aspect.

[Pat]

Hi! I think this is one of my favorite Groups! I am amazed at how many really good books are available! This morning I just finished "
I did enjoy it but...come out find out that it is #3 in a series. I do plan to go back and read #1 & 2, but , I can tell you there will be a #4 because it says so and sort of leaves you hanging. Not to the point that I have to go find a copy immediately, but I will eventually! After I find and read # 1 & 2!
I have said this before but isn't it true- So many books, so little time!

[Lisa]

I just finished Murder is Binding.

[Vicky]

I finished "Dead at Midnight" by Carolyn Hart. I'm almost up to date. I enjoy all her Mystery on Demand series and most of the others as well.

[Susie]

Just finished . This is a fun series :)

I'm almost done with that one, too, Susie. I didn't like the first one, but am glad I gave the series another shot, as I've liked the others!
