I've been a huge fan since the very first book and I'm always excited to read a new addition to the series. Lindsay and Sully find themselves wrapped up in another murder investigation, but when Sully suddenly disappears during a blizzard, Lindsay refuses to stop searching for her husband. Her crafty friends have no problem getting involved, even if a little bit of forgery is involved. Having another favorite character from a different series make an appearance made this book even better. This is a fantastic game of cat and mouse, and all the characters played excellent roles....more

Before I'd finished page one, I was already clicking my way to Amazon to purchase Dead and Gondola, the first book in the series. Ellie and Meg Christie are sisters who are owners of The Book Chalet, a shop I'd love to visit. Meg is a single mom, who's ex husband seeks out their child, and Meg becomes furious with him. Ellie is mom to Agatha C. Christie, her cheeky four legged feline, who reminds me of our own cat. Lorna, a cousin to the sisters, seems to believe she can make true love connections with a mutual love of books. The only catch? She needs to use the sisters as guinea pigs, which sets the scene for murder, lies, cheating and deceit. I was hooked on this book from the very beginning, snow storms, an evening walk to the library, a meet and greet with a deadly ending, and so much more fills the pages of this fantastic book. Its not often that a book grabs my attention like this one did. The style of writing, the characters and their unique personalities, the humor, and the mystery itself sparked my interest from the beginning, and soon I was in Last Word, searching for clues while trying to put the story together. I'm delighted to discover a new to me author, and I'm looking forward to reading the first book in the series. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for granting my wish to read an advanced copy of Last Word to the Wise. I look forward to recommending it to other readers....more

Brooklyn has a love for all books, so when a mysterious book arrives for her husband, Derek , it’s no surprise that Brooklyn has to figure out what it means. With the addition of Claire Quinn in this book, I couldn’t read it fast enough. There were so many twists and turns, and the mystery itself was ingenious. Even though I couldn’t put it down, I was sad for it to end. I am eager to read the next book in this incredible series....more
