As with all first in series books I've read lately, the story is good enough to keep me interested. The characters are interesting with all of their quirks. Some stand out more than other; Angelica...Although she is trying. She just doesn't know what "no" means.I want to see what happens with the ch...

"Murder is Binding" is a lovely cozy mystery, but it is one I had to come into. It didn't hook me up right from the beginning, but reading on, I started to like it and I found myself questioning all the suspects until I came up with a theory which surprisingly was what happened. I did like that ther...

My mother came across this book at our local independent bookstore while we were browsing one day and recently loaned me her copy. It's an enjoyable, cozy mystery and is the first in the Booktown Mystery series. While I didn't find the plot to be very difficult to figure out the characters and their...

Not bad, although I am STILL looking for something as good as the China Bayles mysteries...

This is a 'little cozy mystery.' Had to look up the definition of 'cozy mystery' and it's a murder mystery, generally set in small town, handful of local characters, most of whom could have done the bad deed.

I would have loved to live in Stoneham. A quaint little town where there are plenty of bookstores to choose from. That’s every bookworm’s dream come true. I absolutely loved this setting. The story itself is good, and the characters are fitting for the setting. Angelica, Tricia’s sister is a typic...

I enjoyed this book. As I was reading it, I kept thinking I had read it before. So I skimmed to finish it quickly. I remember the nudist flyers, and the down syndrome daughter, and the insurance agent, I just didn't remember how it ended. I liked the character development and will read to see how th...

★★★½✩ to ★★★★✩ Pretty entertaining for a start of a cozy series and I was looking to fulfill my owing a small town bookstore fantasy. I couldn’t figure out why the female sheriff was so hostile, but that was answered by the end. I’d be willing to read the next in the series.

Good, fun read. A little more solid than your typical first in series, the plot kept me guessing as to whodunnit. I found the main character slightly annoying in the first few chapters, but as the book went on I grew to like her more.
