Another 5 Star Cozy

 

Kickbacks, Kayaks and Kidnapping by Tonya Kappes once again takes you on a wild ride through twists and turns ending with a great cozy mystery. Her books make you want to sit right down and escape to their world.

Bryce is an Olympic Kayaker but also a spoiled person use to getting his way has come the Happy Trails for the Kayak competition Mae has organized but when he ends up murdered things end up not Normal for Normal Kentucky. Mae has things fun going with a contest but murder puts a damper on things. You no the saying any publicity is good but that isn't the case when a murder happens and people start canceling. Mae and the laundry ladies need to clean this mess up by finding the who what and why.

I love this series and it just keeps getting better and better. Mae is strong willed and smart while Dottie is quirky, loud and speaks her mind but together they work. I would love to spend a week or two with them drinking coffee and exploring.

This book has all the right stuff and keeps you guessing to the end. I love it and can't wait for the next one.

Exciting Mystery

 

The Case of the Beleaguered Bride the third book in the Nosy Parkers Mysteries by Debra E Marvin is an enjoyable fun cozy mystery I couldn't put down. It is a mixture of family, faith, friends with an intriguing mystery of murder wrapped around the past and politics of County Cork Ireland. It is the perfect setting for a cozy mystery and a great puzzle to figure out. I give it 5 stars.

Heather Munro has gone to County Cork for the wedding of friends Kat and Dan but with the murder of her Kath's ex-boyfriend things begin to fall apart at the seams. Heather is once again caught in the middle trying to help her friend figure out who is behind the murder and get things back on track but family secrets, politics and intrigue is making it unusually hard. Can Heather put all the pieces together before the threats she is getting puts her in danger too?

 

I love how this book sort of reminds me of classic mysteries. It has a kind, intelligent,  nosy and relatable main character in Heather. She reminds me of a grown up Nancy Drew. She has a good mind and a kind heart which adds to the story.  There is one person that from the start I knew she was not to be trusted and that was Trish. I didn't like her flippant flirty way and just knew she was trouble but she was full of surprises. 

This book keeps you guessing from the start to the surprising end. It is written with great description of Cork and the surroundings where you can just picture journeying through it with Heather as she snoops around.  I highly recommend this book. If  you were a fan of Nancy Drew or Agatha Christie you will like this book. I highly recommend it.
