Welcome to Litsy!

Book 3/100 of the year.

My mum won VINYL RESTING PLACE in a contest and passed it along to me, and I‘ve been hauling it around for about a year. This is the week I finally read it and stick it in a local LFL! It‘s got good cozy mystery energy as of 50%, with lots of family dynamics, music, and tasty-sounding coffee drinks. Basically, it‘s a good fit for some pain day backyard reading with the warring schnauzers.

The characters were engaging and the mystery was compelling. The author‘s use of humor hit all the right notes but I am not sold on the romantic triangle yet.

This was a different cozy mystery than I usually read. I like the idea of it taking place around a vinyl shop. The mystery itself kept me guessing through the end. I will be picking up the next book in the series.

Just started this one.

All good. Except the heroine drives a tricycle. Not quite bad ass enough.

Things I loved about this cozy mystery (the first in a new series): the relationships, the love potentials based on high school relationships (as someone who moved back home after being away for years after college, the re-emergence of high school drama spoke to me), and the setting.

Things I didn‘t love are in the comments and hidden, but they weren‘t enough to keep me from picking up the second book when it‘s published in July. 😄

Fun first book in a new series that has just enough family, romance issues, and mystery. The mystery and the story were pretty zippy; even if the murderer was hinted at pretty early, the read to the end was a lot of fun.

The newest #cozy mystery #ARC in my Kindle TBR. It‘s the first book in a new series set in a record shop.🎧 I like the punny title.
