The Body at the Windmill ~ Georgina Drake #7 (by Kate Hardy)
One of my favorite new series! I have grown to love the gang in Little Wenborough. From Georgina to her sweet furry friend, Bert, to her boyfriend, DI Colin Bradshaw, to friends, Sybbie, Cesca, and Jodie, to the resident ghost, Doris, you will be in for an interesting adventure in the pages. One aspect I really enjoy about the Georgina Drake series is the present and past mystery that pulls her in to investigate. While Georgina and Colin are a couple, I like that while they d

The Body at the Vineyard ~ Georgina Drake #6 (by Kate Hardy)
The Georgina Drake series has become one of my favorites. Kate Hardy does a wonderful job of pulling you into the story from the very beginning and you will enjoy the time you spend with Georgina; her partner, Colin (who is a detective inspector); Sybbie; Cesca; Georgina’s dog, Bert; and the resident ghost, Doris. The present-day murder mystery will have you wondering who is guilty. And, as in previous books, there are bones discovered by Bert ... so there is a death to explo

The Body in the Lighthouse ~ Georgina Drake #4 (by Kate Hardy)
This is the first book I have read in the Georgina Drake series by Kate Hardy. I enjoyed it so much that I have already downloaded the next couple of books and will go back and read the first three. Georgina is a wonderful character and I like watching her relationship with Colin develop and as she assists him in various cases he needs to solve. This was at times an emotional read as you discover some of the background story of a couple of individuals. Plus you get to explore

Panic at Peacock Perch ~ Secret Senior Sleuths Society #5 (by Suzanne Rudd Hamiltion)
What a quirky and unique group of individuals make up the Secret Senior Sleuths Society. Once again they are working in tandem to solve the murder mystery. Each “sleuth” has their gift to contribute to the group and they complement each other well. I would love to live in this type of senior living community and could envision being part of the gang. This is a delightful cozy mystery with each chapter featuring a different character’s point of view which keeps you invested in

The Diva Poaches a Bad Egg ~ Domestic Diva #18 (by Krista Davis)
The Domestic Diva is one of my favorite series. I love getting lost in the pages of an adventure with Sophie Watson. Between the murder mystery and the delicious food, you will not be able to put the book down until you have inhaled every word and helped solve the crime. There are delightful characters who are so supportive of each other. Lots of twists and turns and misguided clues that keep you invested in the story. The fall season was a nice touch and getting to know Aunt
