The Women's Murder Club are hot on the trail of a cat burglar who just escalated to murder and a serial killer praying on women and their very young kids. After the disappointing last book in the series, I actually found this one enjoyable. The epilogue left much to be desired, however. Mindless entertainment, but fun mindless entertainment.

Mystery novelist Drew Danner was just released from jail after being accused of his ex-fiancee's murder. The next morning, he is arrested again for another murder. Is he committing murders without realizing it or is something else going on? I loved the premise. The pacing could have been a little better, but overall I did enjoy this book.

Natalie is fulfilling a life long dream by opening her bed and breakfast on Maine's Cranberry Island. However, she's hardly settled in when developers appear on the island looking to take over. Then a murder happens. It took me a bit to get into the book, but once I got a feel for the island, I was hooked.

The body of a woman washes up on the beach, but inside are pictures from Mark's first case. As he thinks back to what happened then, will it give him a clue about the current murder? This is an emotionally gripping book that really explores Mark's character in the new way. Highly recommended for fans of the series.

MoMoBookDiary enjoyed this murder mystery.

The first in the series on Melissa Craig. I am looking forward to reading book two next.

It is an ideal summer holiday (beach) read, with a writer-cum-sleuth trying to solve a murder which was committed in the vicinity of her new home - Hawthorn Cottage.

Set in a quaint little village - Ideal for fans of Agatha Raisin series

Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this cozy mystery..

A fun Mystery of many layers
A decent follow up film to @Knives Out (2019) 3 years later with Detective Blanc invited to a remote island for a Murder Mystery Game...or is it?
I liked the original although different to a typical Murder Mystery. This follows in a similar style of an all star cast of crazy characters brought together for a Murder Mystery Game that becomes too real.
Good plot and some twists and turns to keep you guessing. Maybe not quite as good as the original but very close and good fun, although Craig's accent is a bit annoying after a while. Definitely looks good on the big screen.

Incredibly good read, but it's a painful journey of life at that time.
Enthralling must read.
Story about the distressing era in US history revolving around racial hatred and murder.
