Live, Local, and Dead by Nikki Knight ~ a Review

by Donna Huber

I'm always on the lookout for new cozy mysteries, so I decided to check out Nikki Knight's new series which starts with Live, Local, and Dead. It was a bit different than other cozies I've read, but that isn't a bad thing.

The Artist Colony by Joanna Fitzpatrick ~ a Review

by Susan Roberts

It's 1924 when Sarah arrives in Camel-by-the-Sea to bury her sister.  She'd been shocked to find out that Ada Belle's death had been classified as suicide.  This made no sense to Sarah.  Her sister was an artist and her work was selling very well and she was excited about an upcoming show of her portraits at a local gallery.  Sarah puts her own art career on hold to prove that Ada Belle had not committed suicide. When she arrives in Carmel, she meets an assortment of people - some who believed Ada Belle had committed suicide and others who were sure that she had not.  Sarah spends time in the local artist colony getting to know other female artists and to find out if any of them had additional information about her sister.

Life Flight by Lynette Eason ~ a Review

by Susan Roberts

If you want a real page-turner that will keep you up past bedtime...if you want a book that you can't put down once you're read the first chapter...if you want a book with an ending that will surprise you, pick up this book. This was my first book by this author but it definitely won't be my last.  The characters were well written and the plot kept me guessing until the end.

The First Reading Month of 2022

by Donna Huber

January always feels so long and it didn't help that I didn't sleep well for most of it. The cold, wet weather (I got snow one day) made my arthritis flare up. I didn't read much because I was just too tired most evenings.
