To begin with, the heavy-handed foreshadowing means that the identity of the killer and the motive are clear quite early on. While entertaining overall, this is not one of the better installments in the series.

Note: If there is an active link, I’ve completed a review.When renowned actor Robbie Pine drops dead during a rehearsal of A Midsummer Night's Dream at the Briar Creek community theatre, librarian and amateur sleuth Lindsay Norris is determined to expose the culprit. Contains 3 books in the series either currently published or about to be published. In addition to the above 3 series, Jenn also has some other books:Ī romance series featuring the dogs who in the main character’s lives. I’ve only read one to day, but just purchased the next two which are due to arrive this week. I love cozy mystery books that take place in England. She comes to visit her cousin and helps run the hat shop, finding murder wherever she goes. Scarlett has left the US after a disastrous and public break-up, deciding England may be a better place to re-start her life. These best friends are also openly embracing the dating world and trying to decide which one belongs with their male bestie! Reminds me a little bit of Hannah Swensen from the Joanne Fluke cozy mystery series. The Cupcake Bakery mysteries feature owners Melanie “Mel” Cooper and Angela “Angie” DeLaura and contains over ten books in the series. I can’t wait to meet her parents, especially having seen what her brother was like when he was the center of a mystery. She seems a little reticent to get into a relationship, but it’s getting better. Lindsey is a great character, full of fun and surprise. The book has ~10 in the series so far and often focuses on books and libraries as part of the mystery thrills. She’s inherited an interesting group of employees at the new library, plus she’s falling for a few of the people who live around town. Lindsey Norris, director of the Briar Creek Public Library, in Connecticut, has returned to her hometown after losing her position at a bigger library. And she has a lot of books… mostly serial fiction… many of which I’ve read across multiple series.

Reading things like those posts about an author help readers feel close to the people who create the stories they love, which in turn develops a strong fandom for the books being written. You can tell by all her posts that she is a genuine and caring person. Two of my favorite things about Jenn McKinlay is her creativity and her down-to-earth and humble personality.
