so-so4th book read in December (GR closed but I‘m still reading this year and for me, those books counts). I don‘t know if I‘m going to continue this series. Does anyone read it? What do you think? Published in 1991, interesting mystery but you will find stereotyped women roles, work place sexual harassment, animal cruelty in one scene. Big concern is how she was treated as as a woman. I don‘t know if that issue is resolved in the other books. 2.5⭐️

so-soI read this one 20 years ago and reread today to prepare for an upcoming cozy mystery book discussion. A fast read, and yet, I definitely did not enjoy this one as much as I did 20 years ago. In some ways, some of the storyline has not stood the rest of time (originally published 1991). There were some holes in the plot line that never quite fleshed out, and maybe because I know what happens later in the series ⬇️⬇️⬇️
I finished all but Mulrox which I‘m slowly plugging away at on my tablet. The others were audio for #littenlisten too! Enjoying all the Christmas books and downloaded two more 😂😂 I don‘t have a problem!

pickThis was my last read of 2018. Book 1 of the Lucy Stone Mystery series was written 20 years ago. It is still a lot of fun to read. I really liked the look into her job at a call center for a mail order company. Although this book takes place around Christmas, it didn't seem really Christmasy to me. I felt this was a solid cozy mystery and a good start to the series.
Cozy mysteries are my go to when I #needtochasestressaway . They‘re silly at times, but the perfect escape from reality. This is the first in the Lucy Stone mystery series, and it seems appropriate too for #silverbells , as it‘s Christmas time in the city. #survivingdecember #decdays

This was a re-read for me and I have to say that I enjoyed this more than I did the first time around. I didn't remember a lot of what happened, so it was almost like a new read for me. I really enjoyed the relationship between Lucy and her husband. I also found the chapter headers interesting as they tied in to Lucy's day job.
This ebook included samples to a couple of the other books in this series.
