MY THOUGHTS -

Once again Linda delivers a wonderful, fun, suspenseful, romantic and clean read! It is so easy to get addicted to this series. The further you go into this series the more you get to know Amelia and Rick - who are both delightful! Each book could be read as a stand alone, but I would highly recommend you read them in order only because of the developing little romance between Rick and Amelia.

Another real fun cozy mystery, which I again listened to from audible.

There were a few surprises, so it kept you guessing through the end. Even though this was a  nice mystery it was the little things that I really loved and kept me interested.

I loved the part about trying Calamari for the first time. I myself have had it several times - deep fried with dipping sauce - YUM!

With my love of ghosts and ghost stories - I loved the part about the haunted hotel! This was great, fun and interesting (it is a real place).

And finally, I loved the part about zip-lining! Now this I have never done, but it is on my "bucket list" LOL (I'll get to that later). I have always wanted to try zip lining. It looks like so much fun! I'll let you know if I ever do it.

OK, now back to the bucket list. That is another developing theme that is carried throughout the series. In the first book Rick had a bucket list and he convinced Amelia to start one too. So now in every story they cross off things and add them to each of their bucket lists.

I listened to this one while doing a puzzle -

If you are a lover of cozy mysteries - this series is perfect for you!

Thank you Linda Weaver Clarke for sending me this audio for my honest review!
