Blog Tour - A Midwinter Murder

Image
  Review - 5 out of 5 stars: I’ve been a huge fan of the Lady Eleanor Swift series since book 1, and now we’re on book 20! So I was thrilled to receive a copy of A Midwinter Murder to review. This time around, Eleanor and Co have been invited to a mysterious Christmas house party in Yorkshire. No sooner has she arrived, than she’s tripping over a dead body! I so enjoyed this story. I loved the setting of the moors in Yorkshire, and the wintriness of the weather. It made a background that was festive, in spite of the murder(s?). I loved the fact that Seldon and the ladies were there with Eleanor, as well as Clifford. I really enjoyed the little interludes with the ladies in their cottage, and the way they support Eleanor and Seldon. I also loved the fact that Eleanor and Seldon are finally making some progress in discussing what their life will be like after they marry. I really hope we’ll see more progress in their relationship soon. I’d really love to see them continuing to solve ...

Blog Tour - Murder in New York

Image
  Review - 5 out of 5 stars: I’m a big fan of the Miss Underhay Mysteries, so I was thrilled to be invited to review book 18 - Murder in New York. This time around, Kitty receives a telegram saying her father is unwell, and so her and Matt dash off to New York to see him. And, of course, murder and mayhem ensue! I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Kitty and Matt are favourite characters, and feel like old friends. It was fun to see them solving another murder without their usual backup (though I did miss Alice). There were lots of interesting suspects, and the snowy weather made the story feel Christmassy. Overall, this was a truly enjoyable mystery, that kept me interested throughout. I highly recommend the whole series. I was given a copy of this book, my opinions are my own. Book Description: Sipping Manhattan cocktails, strolling through Central Park and sightseeing at the Empire State building. Kitty Underhay is loving life in New York… until she stumbles across a murder! Winter, ...

Blog Tour - A Deadly Legacy

Image
  Review - 4 out of 5 stars: I’m always on the lookout for some new cosy crime, so when the opportunity to read A Deadly Legacy came my way, I was pleased. A Deadly Legacy isn’t as cosy as my usual favourites, but I still really enjoyed it. I liked the characters, though I don’t feel like I know them really well (which usually takes multiple books). The slightly unusual pets were a fun touch. The mystery itself was really interesting, and seemed almost insoluble at first glance. However, Jack and Alexi obviously have well established methods of finding things out, and I had fun being along for the ride. I read this book without reading any of the previous books in the series, but it works well as a standalone. It has its own story that is complete in itself, and manages to introduce the characters well, without spending too much time and annoying readers who started at the beginning. It’s that there are aspects that develop from book to book, but these do not detract from the enjoy...
