10. Keepsake Crimes by Laura Childs

This was my first dose of Laura Childs and I was pleasantly surprised. I would have liked to have had the climax a little earlier than the last couple of pages but beggars can't be choosers. I love mysteries and love scrapbooking so this series is a welcomed new look. Again the font is small because of the publisher but it wasn't as hindering as in the past. I look forward to the next scrapbook mystery.

#29 New Year's Eve Murder by Leslie Meier

This is book #12 in the Tinker's Cove series and my first read. I loved my first visit to Tinker's Cove although it was brief as the majority of the story takes place in New York. The glamour of a mother-daughter makeover turned deadly when one of the editor's turned up dead. Lucy had to do her detective work to get to the bottom of it all. 4.75/5

#26 Dying in Style by Elaine Viets

This is the first in the Josie Marcus mystery shopper series and I absolutely loved it. Josie is a mystery shopper, a woman after my own heart, and she finds herself in the middle of a fashion designers corporate merger nightmare. This book is filled with twists and hints as to the beginnings of a possible romance for Josie. 5/5.

#21 Just Desserts by Mary Daheim

This book was a little difficult for me to get into and I think it was only because the print on the pages was very small and being a fast reader I had o adjust to be able to take it all in. It was a good read with a whodunnit throughout the book. The characters were enjoyable and likeable as well. I give it 3.75/5

#19 Blueberry Muffin Murder by Joanne Fluke

This was a quick and easy read. This book introduced me to the world of Hannah Swensen and her delicious sounding recipes. I look forward to picking up another tasty mystery by Fluke. I give it a 4/5.
