"Buried In A Bog"

"Buried In A Bog"

I loved it!  And it's the first in a new series, called "A County Cork Mystery Series."  Hooray!  More to look forward to.

Obviously set in Ireland, in a tiny little village, from whence came our heroine's Gran.  Who made her promise to visit there, after Gran's death.

Twists and turns...  Keep the reader interested...  Lots of background info, on Ireland and the Irish, given...

"Entwined"

"Entwined" by Heather Dixon

Who could resist that cover???  :-)

It's a book, based on the old faerie tale "The 12 Dancing Princesses."  

Actually, it was too long, for me.  Too much discription of all the dances, they learned.  Too many *trials* for our heroine.   It was like too many "Perils Of Pauline," and I get tired of books, which put the heroine through too many icky happenings.

"The Ocean At The End Of The Lane"

"The Ocean At The End Of The Lane"
by
Neil Gaiman

Who could resist that Title and Cover Art?!?!?!?

From:  Good Reads site...

"Sussex, England. A middle-aged man returns to his childhood home to attend a funeral. Although the house he lived in is long gone, he is drawn to the farm at the end of the road, where, when he was seven, he encountered a most remarkable girl, Lettie Hempstock, and her mother and grandmother. He hasn't thought of Lettie in decades, and..."

This is the 2nd book by this author, I have read.  He writes in a very different and quirky way.


Below, from another review...
"Once again, Neil does what he does so well: he takes us by the hand and introduces us to a dark, tangled corner of the universe full of things that make us shiver and hold our breath in the dark."  


A rather short book, btw....  :-)

"A Death In The Small Hours"

To quote a review; "This is a tidy little mystery set in Victorian England."   Another "Cozy," played out in a small English town.  Nice.  But I didn't enjoy the Cricket description.  -pout-

Me thinks' I should try an earlier book, in this Series...  When the main man is still sleuthing more...

Delightful First, in the new "A Magical Bakery Mystery" Series.  Hooray!

Loved it.  Another gentle Magical Mystery Cozy.  Set in (and around) opening a Bakery, in Savannah's quaint downtown district.

 

While getting ready to open the Honeybee Bakery...  Katie notices that her aunt is adding mysterious herbs to her recipes. Turns out these herbal enhancements aren't just tasty...  It seems that Aunt Lucy is  a gentle Witch.

 

And it turns out that Katie too, has inherited magical powers.  

 

Another gentle cozy.  I recommend it.  :-)

"A Killer Read"

"A Killer Read" by Erika Chase

Delightful Cozy Mystery.  Just delightful.  I so enjoyed the heroine, the town she lives in, her home, her friends, homes of her friends, etc., etc., etc.  Each time I picked the book up again, it was like returning to a great place to visit.  As it were.  :-)

Good story line.  Kept me guessing.  And the author has an interesting way of describing most everything...  Like the outfit, "Lizzie" chooses.  And the colors, decor of places "Lizzie" visits, etc.  I really enjoyed this aspect of the book.

Oh, best of all...  This is a first book in a Series!  Must get the 2nd book, quickly.  :-)
