#hyggehourreadathon I spent most of the day on the couch not feeling well- and sweet Saoirse was next to me for most of it. The view out of my window has been a lot of birds i need to identify and yellow yarrow and a late blooming yellow Iris. I‘m sharing my new cozy seating area- i did not use it tonight but i hope to this Summer- on the left is the simple set up, on the right the view. The book was a perfect cozy mystery! Highly recommend.

I grew up loving Agatha Christie books. While I have moved on to much darker tales, I still enjoy a good cozy now and then. While this book wasn‘t for me, I rated it a pick because I think many who love cozies would love this. Samantha leaves her job as an English teacher to open a bookstore. She finds a body outside the bookstore and investigates with her grandma. Her grandma brings along a colorful group of friends to help. Cute, but not for me.

Last book for #CozyInTheSun ā€ļø¸
I hadn‘t picked up this series before because the cover didn‘t make it look interesting. However, it was good and includes books, food, and murder, plus a cast of characters that you grew to care about!

Samantha finds herself a suspect when a man is found dead behind her new mystery themed bookstore. Her fellow sleuths are her grandmother Nana Jo and Nana Jo's senior friends. This was fun and Nana Jo is awesome. Sam is also an aspiring writer so there is a story within the story. #cozyinthesun @ferskner @Librarybelle

Librarybelle I read this one when it first came out, and I‘d be interested in continuing the series! 5y

tdrosebud @Librarybelle I definently want to continue there series, especially if it involves the senior sleuths. 5y

MallenNC I read this one this month and I liked it too. I‘m interested in seeing what happens next. I liked Nana and her friends the best. 5y

This is the first in a cozy mystery series by an author who was new to me. Her book features a recently widowed teacher who opens a mystery book shop and who is working on a mystery of her own. Before her store even opens, her realtor is killed. Sam and her grandmother end up investigating the case, while the reader also gets to read the mystery within the mystery. I will definitely read more of her work. #CozyintheSun

SamanthaMarie This is on my TBR this month too :) I am glad to see that you enjoyed it! 5y

MallenNC @SamanthaMarie She sets up a lot of recurring (I imagine) characters who I think will be fun. Especially her grandmother and friends. Plus there‘s the fantasy of opening a bookstore! 5y

SamanthaMarie I love when there is a well rounded community. One of my favorite parts of cozy mysteries is the characters and how they interact. And true š¨ love living vicariously through books! 5y

MallenNC @SamanthaMarie I‘m interested in how the next one is now that her characters have been introduced! 5y

Librarybelle Great review! I read this one a couple years ago and liked the mystery within the mystery part of the story. 5y

The Plot Is Murder | V.M. Burns

Sharing books by black authors during the month of July. I will add the synopsis from Goodreads below and in the comments.
This is the first book of the Mystery Bookshop series.
The small town of North Harbor on the shores of Lake Michigan is about to have a new mystery bookstore. But before the first customer can browse its shelves, the store‘s owner is suspected of her own murder plot . . . ā¬‡ļø¸
#ReadBlackAuthors #BlackLivesMatter #BLM

JoScho Samantha Washington has dreamed of owning her own mystery bookstore for as long as she can remember. And as she prepares for the store‘s grand opening, she‘s also realizing another dreamā€”penning a cozy mystery set in England between the wars. 5y

JoScho While Samantha hires employees and fills the shelves with the latest mysteries, quick-witted Lady Penelope Marsh, long-overshadowed by her beautiful sister Daphne, refuses to lose the besotted Victor Carlston to her sibling's charms. When one of Daphne's suitors is murdered in a maze, Penelope steps in to solve the labyrinthine puzzle and win Victor. 5y

JoScho But as Samantha indulges her imagination, the unimaginable happens in real life. A shady realtor turns up dead in her backyard, and the police suspect herā€”after all, the owner of a mystery bookstore might know a thing or two about murder. 5y

See All 12 Comments

JoScho Aided by her feisty grandmother and an enthusiastic ensemble of colorful retirees, Samantha is determined to close the case before she opens her store. But will she live to conclude her own story when the killer has a revised ending in mind for her? 5y

SamanthaMarie Oooo yes!!! I will definitely read this for #CozyintheSun Thank you for sharing!! 5y

MallenNC I‘m actually reading this right now! 5y

JoScho @SamanthaMarie yay!! 5y

JoScho @MallenNC awesome! How is it so far? 5y

MallenNC @JoScho I‘m liking it! She‘s introducing a lot of characters but I think they‘ll make it a fun series. The two parts of the story work well together. 5y

JoScho Cool. I‘m looking forward to reading it. 5y

ferskner Oh wow I didn't know about this one! Thanks for sharing. 5y

A fun first book in a new series. I found the main character a little boring but the excellent secondary characters more than made up for it. I'll definitely be reading the second book. #CozyInTheSun #ILoveCozies #CozyMystery @Librarybelle @ferskner

Librarybelle I had not been impressed with the MC either. I should probably read the second in this series and see how things progress... 6y

so-so

First in the Mystery Bookshop Mystery series, and I left this feeling meh. I wasn‘t the biggest fan of the MC, and I admittedly groaned aloud when I discovered the police detective‘s name was Brad Pitt. The mystery within a mystery concept was interesting. Not the worst cozy I‘ve read, but also not a favorite.

ferskner Haha those are the moments I live for in a cozy! 7y

Librarybelle @ferskner Haha! There is another thing in the book that I can‘t say because it‘s a major spoiler...I did like that! 7y

I loved how the main character(Samantha) went sleuthing with a group on senior citizen ladies! These ladies were a hoot and could out party me any day!
