This week I am reading Mrs. Jeffries in the Nick of Time, by Emily Brightwell. I’ve read a couple other books in the Mrs. Jeffries series (this is book 25 of 40 in the series, so there is plenty for you to binge on! If you enjoy a good British cosy mystery set in Victorian London, then this is a series for you. Mrs. Jeffries is police inspector Witherspoon’s housekeeper, and she and the household staff help to solve the murder cases he is working on and subtly feed him the solutions so that he thinks he solved it himself.

February 26 is National Tell a Fairy Tale Day!
Fairy tales originated as oral histories told by travelers or moral stories for children. Who doesn’t like gathering around a campfire for a thrilling or scary story?
5 stars “another story filled with traumatized “imperfect” people facing daunting challenges and somehow managing to survive, prevail and inspire.”
One of the books I read this week was Cobblered to Death by Rosemarie Ross. It is a culinary cozy mystery, the first in the Courtney Archer series. Host of a television show about rural cooking, Courtney is helping to cohost a cooking competition, and wouldn’t you know it—somebody dies. There are plenty of twists and turns as Courtney (and the local security guy and the sheriff) try to figure out which of the other contestants might have done the dirty deed.

This year, I am going to let just a taste of romance into my Valentine’s Day post. No, I am still not interested in the love at first sight or romantic date tropes, but I thought I would feature some slow-burn romance in the mystery genre.
