Moonlight Murder Mystery Club

Moonlight Murder

Mystery Club

BLAKE RIVERS

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

Sage Holloway, a baker, moves back to Crescent Harbor, where everyone knows your name, especially Margaret. A disliked entrepreneur is found dead in his office, and Sage's employee is the prime suspect.

But this case is a no-brainer; the reader of this cozy mystery will have the answer halfway through the book. Sage is the only one asking questions to help her employee, a young single mother.

Sage names the black cat Shadow, who moves in and steals the show. His antics and Margaret's comments lead Sage to ask the right questions that solve the crime.

Blake Rivers' writing is smooth, easy to read, and easy to follow. Her characters will hold up in the series, and a love story is simmering in the background.

The Echanted Garden Cafe

THE ENCHANTED

GARDEN CAFÉ

Abigail Drake

 

Review by Author Roy Murry

 

At first, I thought ENCHANTED was a normal mystery. However, this story is a mishmash of comedy, drama, and romance.

The characters ranged from Fiona, a conservative and skeptic, to her mother and friends, who are free spirits: palm and card readers, a Trans clothing store owner, and other interesting people. An elderly saxophone player is attacked, leading to a whirlwind of events.

A land grab is at the center of the South Side's Enchanted Garden predicament and whether it will survive as the community's linchpin. The developer's instigators are closer than one would think, right up to the end.

Fast-paced read with a couple of unnecessary descriptive sex scenes that don't serve the plot. The characters are lovable enough to be used in the second book in the series.

Good Read. https://amzn.to/3TcJK3i
