Wow! This first book in the Sutherlin Files series by Ashley Farley will grab you from the beginning and you will find yourself flipping through the pages as fast as you can to help solve the murder mystery. The characters are well developed and you will grow to love some while despising others. The suspense is intense with nonstop action. Watching Detective Lane Sutherlin return home to Tidewell, Virginia and having to deal with extremely emotional matters was at times heart

This is the first book I have read in The Widow’s Detective Club series. The book was a slow start and I struggled to stay invested in the story. I am not sure how much of that is due to not having read the first two books. But once you are well into the story, there is suddenly a lot of activity that will grab your attention.

The murder mystery will have you “puzzled” about who is guilty. There are a lot of twists and turns, misguided hints, and crazy antics that keep you invested in the story. And you cannot forget Streetman, the chiwe

When I open a Vicki Delany book, I know I will be treated to a delightful cozy mystery. The characters in the Year-Round Christmas series feel like your neighbors. The setting of Rudolph, New York and their reputation as Christmas Town sets the scene up with a lot of people being part of the mystery. Between Mrs. D’Angelo’s nosy neighbor escapades; Merry’s St. Bernard, Matterhorn (Mattie), and his idol worship of Detective Symmonds; the drama of a dead body; current and previ
