Reserved for Murder by Victoria Gilbert My Review

 


My Review   

I just finished  a good book. I enjoyed  the audio version on YouTube.  


Thus was a good Cozy Mystery.  

A new to me series. 

The plot was good and kept me turning the pages. 

The plot included two mysteries.  

A Murder.  And the question  about what the mysterious visitor next door is really  upto. 

The main plot revolves around a Romance Authors book tour.  The Author is booked into Chapters  Bed and Breakfast.  

And then. One if the guests the winner of a Meet the Aurhor  weekend is found murdered in town. 


Charlotte the main character  ends up doing a bit of sleuthing to find the killer.  

The guests and a couple of suspicious characters become the main suspects.  

There ends up being the beginning of a romance for Charlotte.  

I am interested  in seeing how that is played out as the series progresses. 

Something I thought was a little  different  is Charlotte  gets along with the Police Detective who actually asks for and listens to Charlotte's thoughts and observations.  

This is rare in a Cozy Mystery.  

There is a subtle Paranormal aspect which I suspect develops in the titles that follow in the series.  

 

About the . . . 

More bloodshed at a bibliophiles' bed-and-breakfast as Victoria Gilbert's delightful series continues.


Meeting your favorite author in the flesh can be the chance of a lifetime. But for one unlucky fan, her plum place in line at a book signing will lead to her untimely demise.

Beaufort, North Carolina, is home to Chapters Bed and Breakfast, owned and operated by former schoolteacher Charlotte Reed. This historic 18th-century inn draws in voracious readers from far and wide with its lovingly curated special events celebrating a host of genres and authors.

On this sunny July weekend, a visit by one of the biggest names in romantic fantasy attracts throngs of admirers to the quaint coastal village. That's not ideal, as the author retreated to Chapters to get away from it all for a while. No matter--she'll appease her fans with a "Tea and Talk" meet-and-greet at the B&B celebrating her bestselling series (starring a devilishly dashing, time-traveling pirate), follow that up with a quick book signing at Bookwaves, the hip indie bookstore across town, and spend the remainder of the weekend in delightful repose.

But when the president of the reclusive writer's fan club is found dead in the harbor by the Beaufort docks--done in by a blunt-force blow to the head--it's up to Charlotte Reed, her neighbor Ellen, and Ellen's trusty Yorkshire terrier to sniff out the killer. Because if they can't, a spectacularly successful book series--and its author--may come to a sudden, lethal conclusion.

Shadow of the Missing by Lauren Carr

Image
  My Review  I had forgotten  how much I enjoy Lauren Carr's books.  It has been awhile since I have read a Chris Matheson and a Geezer Squad title.  I think one of the best things that Lauren Carr does is including a cast of characters.  Which is important  because there are a lot of characters to keep straight.  There are alot of suspects in Shadows of the Missing because there are alot of victims in this 45 year old cold case.  The main story revolves around the search for Helen Chris's wife's parents.  Helen and her younger sister have memories  from the last time they saw their mom.  Lauren  Carr keeps the reader interested  with multi plots that actually  all weave together  in one main plot.    There are some great regular characters in the series that uncover leads and hidden secrets.  And new characters like Percy  that I suspect might make their way into another title.  I r...
