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.

Magical Cozy Mystery

A Charming Deception Magical Cures book 13 by Tonya Kappes is an amazing, wonderful, magical book. I think this was the perfect ending to the series.

June and Oscar are expecting a baby and are so excited as well as all of Whispering Falls. All is going well until the receptionist  at June's Doctor's  office  is found murdered. June and Oscar have to hurry and solve this murder before the baby comes so they can save the whole magic world. 

This book is a mix of mystery, magic, emotions and love. June has come so far and really is an important part of Whispering  Falls. I love her interaction with all the other people in the village. I laughed so hard when the sisters Constance and Patience carry a flour sack around like a baby. One of my favorite parts was when nurse Martha comes into  A Charming  Cure and is acting suspicious and is being too inquisitive about June, Whispering Falls and what Roma, the receptionist  who was killed, was up to.  June needs to find out what Martha knows so she gives her a dab of truth potion. Martha gets tipsy, starts talking fast and funny then falls to the floor asleep.  The sisters Constance and Patience are there and they think Mr Prince Charming, June's familial cat, is smiling at Martha's demise. I could just imagine it all and found myself laughing  out loud.

This is such an enjoyable  book and a good way to end the series. This is a good mystery with a good twist in who the murderer is. I was surprised by who did it. It is also a nice way to tie up the journey June Heal and Oscar Parks has been on within Whispering Falls and their lives. I give this book 5  stars. I loved it and I am sorry to see the series end.

Suspenseful and Intriguing

Dead Silence by Robin Caroll is a fast paced, unique, edge of your seat mystery  that I couldn't  put down. It is well written and captures you right from the beginning taking you on a roller coaster ride along with Elise as she tries to keep her son safe from the people who had her mother in law the Senator killed. 

Elise is a court room sign language  interpreter who can read lips also since she has a deaf son. She reads the lips of a guard saying they are going to take care of Senator Lilliana York. When the Senator, who happens to be Elise's  Mother in law is killed Elise has to tell the FBI what she knows. When she tells them all she knows then she begins to get threats and warnings. Can she help the FBI figure out what happened before her and her son's life is in more danger? It gets really intense when Sawyer her son is taken. 

This book is an interesting, unique, suspenseful  mystery that takes you on ride and keeps you guessing and wanting more. I like a good mystery that keeps you guessing and this one does. I also like that it includes faith though it is subtle. The book is a suspenseful mix of faith, love, family and a good puzzle with a surprise  ending. Very well written and well worth the read. I give it 4 1/2 stars. I would give it 5 but at times it was a little wordy but not enough to take away from the story.

Fun Fascinating Cozy Mystery

Tonya Kappes has done it again in the newest book in her Mail Carrier Cozy Mystery series. Each book in this series just gets better and better and this one is the best so far. I love how she brings you along and you can feel like you could walk right in to town, sit down and be friends with all of them. If you just want to escape and relax then jump right in and read this book you won't be disappointed.

Bernie once again gets caught up in a murder investigation. She is trying to deal with changes in her life and body. Some of the funniest parts of the book is when Bernie is talking about going through menopause and I just love how it is weaved into a part of the mystery solving. When Bernie finds Simon's body after the break in at the post office she immediately starts putting pieces together and snooping. Can she figure out who has done Simon in and help her friend and yoga teacher Peaches figure out if she was involved or not? Bernie sure is going to try to.

Bernie is an intelligent, quick thinking and caring person who just can't help but get involved in snooping, it's just who she is. Iris and the Front Porch Ladies are there to help too. I could just imagine sitting and having coffee with them all. The small town setting along with all the characters added to the mystery equals a fun, laugh out loud, page turning cozy mystery you just can't put down.

All the characters seem to be growing in each book. They are evolving and that makes each book unique. This book has all the right ingredients, a good puzzling mystery, great characters, a little bit of romance, several suspects and a surprise ending. I highly recommend this book and the series.

Fun Fantastic Read

Tonya Kappes books are so fun and a perfect way to spend a day reading. She always makes you laugh  while you ride along trying to figure out whodunit. Tents, Trails and Turmoil is a fantastic, fun, roller coaster ride to the end with great characters, plot and surprise ending. I loved it.

When Mae and Dottie discover a body in the camp grounds dumpster they have to kick snooping into high gear so their campground can open.  Hank tries to keep Mae out of the investigation but snooping is her thing. I just love the Laundry Book Club ladies and they are on it when it comes to snooping and gossiping. Dottie just cracks me up with her my way or the highway attitude. Hank is a straight forward guy but knows when he is beat when it comes to keeping Mae from snooping. They are the perfect match. I love the little town of Normal KY and could just imagine going and visiting there. It is just the perfect setting for the perfect cozy mystery.

If you love camping, hiking, a great mystery, with fantastic characters, set in a beautiful town with a mystery that keeps you wondering and guessing to the end then you must read this one.
