Book Review : Shelved Under Murder by Victoria Gilbert

https://www.amazon.com/Shelved-Under-Murder-Library-Mystery-ebook/dp/B075QJHPR9

This was the second book in the series. I found this to be a light, fun read. Easily read in a weekend. The characters are interesting and likeable. I enjoyed the age range of the different main characters as they were not all young people silly in love trying to solve a mystery. There were some older characters with colourful, somewhat shady backgrounds that added a bit of intrigue to the mystery. 
The language is clean and the romances, while they are suggestive, are not erotically described.
 It is the kind of book I would feel comfortable giving to a young adult or my grandmother to read. This book is available on Amazon  and Barnes and Noble July 20th.   Thank you to Crooked Lane Books for the oppurtunity to read an advanced copy for my review.

Summertime, and what I'm reading

That was one big spider web to open the door to this morning but was so delicate and lacy just had to grab a pic. As the winds blow here in the mountains, that web probably won't last all day.

Now that the summer holiday has passed and guests have gone home I can get back to reading a bit more. 

I just finished a book  for Crooked Lane Books.

This book doesn't release until October 19th, 2018. It will be available at Amazon and Barnes and Noble. If you are a crafter particularly into yarn crafts knitting or crocheting, you will want to add this book to your fall reading list. Perfect to take along to craft fairs.

It's fast paced and has a lot of small-town charm. I will provide more of a review when the release date gets closer.

A mid-century Irish story. This has been my book before sleep read for a few nights. It has some history to it as well as a sweet romance. It's a lovely read before falling off to sleep. 

That's all for today been a busy one and time to get some supper going.  Happy Reading!

Book Review: Be Our Ghost by Kate Kinsbury

        This book doesn't release until October 9, 2018. I received a copy from Crooked Lane Books and Net Galley for an early review.
       It is the 3rd in the series A Merry Ghost Inn Mystery. I have not read the previous two books, but the story stands up well on it's own and can be read out of sequence, You are aware throughout the story that there have been previous books, but there is enough information that you can follow along with this latest adventure.
  The characters are developed nicely but are evolving and changing, which is something I truly like to see in a series. I like to get to know the characters in a series, but don't want them to be predictable and the author seems to have the characters changing as normal people would in life's circumstances.
  All in all, it is really well done cosy mystery and a great escape read.
  I also appreciate the mature characters and that the main story is not romantic entanglements, although there is some light romance in the story.
The language is clean and the murder is not gruesomely described.
It's a relaxing fun read and would recommend it for an enjoyable escape.
