The Curious Case of the Poisoned Professor review

Tari Hann

This is the first book in a brand new series called Welsh Village by Lucy Connelly, a cozy mystery author known for her Scottish Isle and Mercy McCarthy mysteries. While I haven’t yet read any of those, I have a few in each series. After reading this book, I plan to dig into her other series while I wait for the next book in this series.

My Goodreads review:

The Curious Case of the Poisoned Professor (A Welsh Village Mystery)The Curious Case of the Poisoned Professor by Lucy Connelly
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed meeting Gwen and all her supporting characters in this book. I also really appreciate the author making it clear which guy ended up with Gwen too. For a while I kinda suspected a possible triangle but after a point in the book, I had a feeling she wasn’t gonna subject us to a triangle. And the ending proved that right.

I loved how Gwen and her teaching assistant Ellis were researching and ended up sleuthing when one of the professors from Gwen’s new department was killed. After some scary notes and creepy stalkers, Gwen faced off with a killer and got the upper hand just in time. The ending was so cool and now I can’t wait to read the next book. I have some of this author’s other books, but “so many books, so little time” always kicks in and this ARC is actually the first I’ve read from her, and I liked it a lot!

A Poisonous Palate review

Tari Hann

This is the fourteenth book in the long-running deliciously-full-of-awesome-food series, the Key West Food Critic Mysteries by Lucy Burdette. This book hasn’t been put on its series page yet, but you can find the rest of the series on that Goodreads link above or the author’s page. I love it when Miss Gloria goes sleuthing with Hayley. I wanna be her when I’m 80-something, lol, well minus the murder sleuthing part.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was a more complicated case at least it seemed that way but once again Hayley and Miss Gloria made a really good sleuthing team. And Miss G did something so awesome it ended up saving Hayley’s life from a killer in a wild ‘n crazy showdown. I was definitely surprised at who the killer was.

Everything was wrapped up and explained then of course what does a foodie do when she’s finished with an amateur sleuthing case? She celebrates with food and some awesome friends and family too.
