so-soThis was ok, but more of a cozy mystery than I was expecting. I wanted it to be more spooky! Another review called it Scooby-Doo plus Hallmark and I think that‘s a good description. The narrator of the audiobook did not help. Very monotone.
This was my #BookSpin for October.
pickA very fun mystery! This was a blind pick from a jar at the public library and I really enjoyed it. Don‘t rule out plausible exist-ability. Book#52 in 2024
pickI haven't read any other books in the series but I think I will look them up. This was an interesting murder mystery and you're not sure of the killer's identity until near the end. Its clever how everything ties in together. The plot is a steady build up to a clever ending. 3*
bailedThis isn‘t bad, but there‘s something about the detective character that makes me not want to continue. Also the main protagonist makes some questionable choices. Very cool premise but I bailed at 40%
so-soKind of fun, but the writing was overly descriptive. Lots of unnecessary detail, more telling than showing. And I could have done without the romantic subplot. If you‘re in the mood for something that feels a bit like a Hallmark movie with a dash of Scooby-Doo, might be worth a try.
Door County is 3.5 hours north of me, I live in Southern WI. Only been there once but I want to go again someday soon. Looking forward to a cozy, contemporary mystery! 🍂🍁
Book haul from a Grown-Up Book Fair in Burl. These caught my eye 📚
pickThis was a fun mystery about Morgan, a cryptozoologist, who is hired by a local police chief to help them investigate suspicious deaths in the Great Lakes. Loved the characters and the dog. It was fast paced and kept me hooked, wanting to know what would happen next. Looking forward to the next book out later this year.
And now for something completely different:
Morgan Carter, owner of the Odds and Ends bookstore in Door County, Wisconsin, has a hobby. When she's not tending the store, she's hunting cryptids--creatures whose existence is rumored, but never proven to be real.
So when a number of bodies turn up on the shores of Lake Michigan with injuries that look like bites from a giant unknown animal, police chief Jon Flanders asks for her help.
