A Smoking Bun review

Tari Hann

This is the eighteenth book in the long-running Bakeshop Mysteries by Ellie Alexander who’s no stranger to the Ashland area which is why it’s described so well and vividly in her books. Jules and her friends/family are gonna steal your heart no matter where you start in the series. I always recommend the beginning, but I’ve broken that little guideline by not being able to resist these when they come up on NetGalley, so yeah, I’ve got a little catching up to do but it’s all good!

My Goodreads review:

A Smoking Bun (A Bakeshop Mystery, #18)A Smoking Bun by Ellie Alexander
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a wild case and I always love it when Jules and Lance go sleuthing together. If anything, he’s probably the best dressed sleuth around, lol. He’s not all show and stage though since sometimes he did have some valuable intel to share or ideas to sleuth out.

I wasn’t ever really sure until the actual reveal of whodunit and there were some great scenes working up to that. I loved the final scene with everyone who loved the ski lodge gathered together for food and fellowship. It’ll be interesting to see what happens next in Ashland!

Murder at the Blarney Bash review

Tari Hann

This is the fifth book in the Beacon Bakeshop Series Mysteries by Darci Hannah and we got introduced to a couple new characters opening a shop in Beacon Harbor. I’m sure Rory’s poor uncle didn’t know what he’d be getting involved in when he came to the states only to be accused of murder. You’ll have to read all the action and see what happens!

My Goodreads review:

Murder at the Blarney Bash (Beacon Bakeshop #5)Murder at the Blarney Bash by Darci Hannah
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Rory’s Uncle Finn was quite a character, a real hoot who cracked me up quite a bit while reading. Since he’s part of Beacon Harbor now I’m sure he’ll make another appearance or so in future books.

I was totally wrong on whodunit, maybe because I wanted a particular person to be guilty, who knows. It was fun getting the gang back together to sleuth this one out, a perfect reunion for Lindsey and her bestie. I just love sweet Welly and how that big pup always ends up helping with the case by either sniffing something out, looking intimidating, or both! It’ll be interesting to see what Lindsey and her crew gets into next!
