This book was set back in 1784 outside London in the country. Tiffany’s brother was the Liberian for the dike in their town. She took care of her brother’s household because she was a spinster only because the gentelman she was engaged to died before they married. Her brother, she found out later after assuming his identity because he died was poisoned. Through her and the constables sleuthing they were determined to find out who murdered him along with the other servants in the dukes household. Her friend from younger years who became a Duchess of which was having an affair with the Duke snubbed her years later when she stepped into the role of a Duchess often pulled pranks like disguising Tiffany as her brother so she decided why not be him now. At times… it was very comical going in between her and his roles. A very good read!

Another good read from Victoria Gilbert’s series. This time, Amy and her beau find themselves intertwined in another murder as his student went missing and Amy’s ex is in town. The ex and his girlfriend had moved to the area a few months back and then she was hit while out on a jog early one morning in a hit and run and killed. Then theres a professor working on a project with students who is murdered in the woods with the beaus student over the professor who was murdered. Lots of clues to keep you hooked.

Amy finds herself and her beau in the thick of things again as they discover another body. This one because of art and forgies not like the one before dealing with history and family property heritage although this was her uncles heritage in painting. With the investigation involving an out of town art investigator being brought in, her aunt has warmed up to him while hosting him as the annual festival gets into full swing. A donated art piece gets stolen that was donated to the festival fundraiser from her uncles collection which is intertwined with the murder. Lots of clues that finally pair together when she gets back from her surprise trip from NY to see her beau perform while the festival is being covered by her aunt and best friend who sent her. A great read for sure!

I have to admit … this was another good read but took me sometime to get into it after her last series… it was hard to switch over to new characters. She wrote this book near the sea where Charlotte inherited a bed and breakfast from her aunt. She hosted themed weeks and such highlighting authors such as a murder mystery author of which ended up having a murder during. Laying out the research and investigating clues with her neighbor who was her late aunts friend, she comes unravels history about her as well as solving the murder.

Amy always seems to stumble into murders. This one had to deal with her Aunts friends past and as it unfolded was good to the absolute end as all these books have been. Looking forward to her new books!

Second in the series… another good read. Charlotte was hosting an author and guests who had won an one on one time with Amanda for a week at her bed and breakfast in her quaint little town located by the harbor. However, one of the guest was killed the first night, so Charlotte and her aunts friend Ellen start sleuthing to figure out the mystery all the while Ellen has an unusual “family member” staying with her.

The setting is in the King William district of San Antonio where Ellen and her two friends embark in buying a house of which was an asylum of which is supposedly haunted. The “ghost” wants to know where her momma went. With Ellen and one of her friends losing their moms, Ellen really wants to help the “ghost” find her mom whom is really a girl named Amy that neighbors have been helping for many years without knowing the other neighbor is helping the girl. Learning about the history of the house has really given Ellen and her friends a passion for turning the house into a museum as these ladies are trying to redefine their lives.

I started with a later book in the series, so when I started this one, wasn’t really what I thought, but by the time I got to the end had me wanting to read the next in the series. Amy is a librarian director who’s found a lady murdered in the archives. Meeting the new guy in town who wants to research some things they uncover clues which put her and her assistant and best friend Sunny in danger. Slow to start but has you wanting to read the next in the series by time your done!

Not your typical read. It’s about a 12 year old autistic girl who has a lot of questions about her identity as well as finding out that she has had a “dot” surgically implanted in her since around the age of 6 to monitor her for science. Finding out about this from her dads email, she sets out with her best friend to unravel how this happened to her and to get it out of her. However, when they discover that “Nucleus” the company who did this was selling out to “Homepage” which sells information for $$$$$$$ they find other autistic children that are in the program and make a plan to take the owner Preston down and get their lives back!

Charlotte hosts a former colleague Laura and her book club as another booking fell through. This book club members were somewhat at odds with a member Stacy who was found murdered by cyanide in the garden. Charlotte and Ellen go on their sleuthing path again to figure out what happened. Great read!
