Blog Tour - Murder at Sea

Image
  Review - 4 out of 5 stars: I’ve been looking forward to reading Murder at Sea, and I really enjoyed it. Matt and Kitty unexpectedly end up on another trip to New York, this time on the trail of a long term adversary. I had a great time trying to solve the murders alongside Kitty and Matt. There were several excellent suspects, and being on board a ship made it harder to get information about them. The plot was good, moving in an unexpected direction several times. I always enjoy spending time with Kitty and Matt, and although I missed the animals, Alice, and other friends, there was always plenty to keep me entertained. Overall, this was an excellent mystery, with unexpected turns in the plot. I recommend the whole series. I was given a copy of this book, my opinions are my own.

Blog Tour - Murder on the Cricket Green

Image
  Review - 5 out of 5 stars: I enjoyed all the previous books in the Martha Miller series, so I was thrilled to get my hands on Murder on the Cricket Green. This was another excellent mystery. There was a plethora of suspects with the motive, and I didn’t guess the culprit before the big reveal.  It was lovely to come back to a set of characters that feel like old friends, and a setting that I like. I really enjoy the people who now support Martha, and the way she’s coming out of her shell. Overall, this was a puzzling mystery, with great characters. I recommend the whole series. I was given a copy of this book, my opinions are my own. Blurb: Westleham Village, May 1948 The villagers of Westleham are excited for the first village cricket match since the end of the war. But Martha Miller has more pressing concerns - namely, the sudden reappearance of her husband, Stan, missing for two years and acting as though nothing has happened.  Martha doesn’t know what to feel, espec...

Blog Tour - The Locked Room

Image
Review - 5 out of 5 stars: I absolutely loved the previous two books in this series (The Missing Maid and The Cursed Writer), so I was excited to get my hands on The Locked Room. I so enjoyed reading this book. Harry is a character who appealed to me from the very first, and I love the way she’s developing and gaining confidence in her skills. I also found the way her relationships with various other characters are going on enjoyable. Though I don’t like Percy Finchem! The mystery was an intriguing one, as locked room mysteries so often are. I had a lot of fun trying to work out what was going on alongside Harry and her friends. Overall, this was an intriguing and exciting mystery, with a very relatable main character. I highly recommend the whole series. I was given a copy of this book, my opinions are my own. Blurb: Join Harriet White in 1930's London for another glorious Sherlock Holmes-inspired mystery, for fans of Nita Prose and Janice Hallett. After a very close call on the N...

Blog Tour - Murder on a Frosty Night

Image
  Review - 5 out of 5 stars: I’ve been enjoying the Lady Eleanor Swift series for a long time now, and have been looking forward to Murder on a Frosty Night. I loved this book. There was a confusing mass of clues, a mysterious summons, and a small community cut off by the snow. What’s not to love? The setting was great, with a mysterious atmosphere and yet lots of seasonal winter weather. There was a sense of the village having a history that was affecting the current day. I really enjoyed watching Eleanor and Co unravelling that, as well as the murder. There were lots of fascinating and suspicious characters, who all seemed like the most likely suspect in turn. I didn’t work out who the culprit was until the end. Overall, this was an excellent and seasonal mystery, with much loved characters. I can’t wait to see what they get up to next. I was given a copy of this book, my opinions are my own. About the Author: Verity Bright is the pseudonym for a husband-and-wife writing partners...
