 Bernie and and her group of friends (fellow sleuths) are back at it.  When Bernie finds herself involved in finding out who caused the latest murder.  A tell all has been published relating the secrets of many of the fine citizens of Sugar Creek Gap so there is no lack of suspects.  I love seeing all that she and the four footed sleuths get into while trying to find out what happened.   A great series and worth the read.  D

A Life Once Dreamed by Rachel Fordham

      I can only imagine what is must have been like for Agnes to give up everything and travel to Dakota Territory, but unfortunately her new life was short lived. When her childhood sweetheart shows up in her new life, she has to do all she can to keep her secret, especially from him.   I liked in how the book progressed we got to see a glimpse of life during this time period and see the relationship grow between Agnes and James and how they worked on overcoming the past.      I received a copy of the book the review is mine.

A Dazzle of Diamonds by Liz Johnson

       I would love Penelope's job in Savannah.  I could imagine what type of event could be held a the venue and the fun in planning the.  Unfortunately things are not going as planned as her ex shows up with his new finance, who tries to get her fired.  Things continue to go downhill as Tucker, who is running for sheriff is caught up not only in a smear campaign, but also in the vendetta against Penelope.  I really enjoyed how they were able to team up to get things on the right track and loved the treasure hunt as well.      I received a copy of the book to read, the review is mine.

Seashells and Murder by H.Y. Hanna

   I get a little jealous when reading this series. Ellie is having a great time in Florida, sampling new foods, spending time at the pool and beach, meeting new people, and solving another murder.  Maybe I will skip the murder part, but I would love to visit the resort she is staying at.      Ellie finds herself caught up in another murder when she is asked to be a second judge in a Key Lime Pie contest.  She soon finds herself going around the resort trying to find out who had a reason to kill the main judge.  I loved the scene where Mojito helped her figure out how to get in the kitchen and of course Hemingway plays a big part too.  Looking forward to book three.

Kickbacks, Kayaks, and Kidnapping: A Camper and Criminals by Tonya Kappes

     I love the goings on at the Happy Trails Campground in Normal, Kentucky.  Mae is doing a great job a the campground.  She is getting events held there and people love staying there.  During a competitions that will lead to the Olympics,  a person is found dead.  This cancels out the great reviews that the campground has been getting.  Now Mae and her Laundry Club Ladies need to get to work to get everything back to "Normal"  I love Mae and her Ladies and all the craziness they get into trying to make it all work out ok.

Flip-Flops and Murder by H.Y. Hanna

     I enjoyed this new series and wanted to join Ellie at the resort.  It seems like a pretty nice place to visit excluding the murder of course.  Ellie hits the jackpot with a ticket to Florida to stay with her aunt at a nice beach resort and she jumps at the chance to leave England to join her.  When she gets there she meets all kinds of people, but not her aunt and one of them winds up dead shortly afterwards.       Ellie bungles some of her first choices of who did it and why, but soon it all comes together.  I look forward to seeing what happens next.      I received  a copy of the story to read, the review is mine. .
