Murder Cursed the Raven by Margaret Morse: Book Review

Murder Cursed the Raven is a fun cozy paranormal mystery read with heartwarming friendships, villains that are as easy to laugh at as fear, a plot with plenty of turns and twists, and an engaging heroine (who loves good food). I hope you enjoy my review of Margaret Morse’s latest.

Murder on the Nile by Verity Bright: Book Review

In this humorous spoof of the cozy English murder mystery, Lady Eleanor Swift is off to Egypt where she’ll come upon a murder, of course. This is, after all, the 19th book in the series, so clearly this young woman cannot stay away from suspicious corpses. This is a good one for extremely light fun, which is kind of what some of us need these days. Enjoy my review.
