It promises to be a jolly holiday for Sophie until a Scrooge steals the Christmas gifts from her family and neighbors.  The evil elf even pinches their Christmas dinners!  Sophie quickly ends the neighbors' finger-pointing by organizing a toy swap for the kids, restoring the spirit of Christmas.  But not for long...

When her sister-in-law's father shows up to the Christmas celebration with a diva girlfriend just a month after his separation, someone carries out everyone's thoughts of murder.  With relatives and friends under suspicion for the deadly deed, and Sophie's detective boyfriend Wolf out of town, it's up to Sophie to chase this goose and cook it.  Nobody ruins her Christmas!

✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽

Sophie Winston's sister-in-law Laci is entertaining her friends and family for Christmas Eve dinner, and while she thinks everything is going to be fine, it's not.  Someone is stealing everyone's Christmas gifts, and their house is now the latest on the block to be emptied.  As if this isn't enough, Laci's father shows up with his new girlfriend, Bonnie -- angering her mother Marnie, since they've only been separated a month.  As if that isn't enough, they discover that Laci's younger sister Shawna is nearly engaged to Bonnie's son Beau.

But at another event, there's an altercation that sends Shawna running out in tears, and no one knowing how to handle it.  Not even Sophie, who discovers Bonnie's body at her home and needs to call the police, wishing her detective boyfriend Wolf was in town instead of spending the holidays in Maine.  Now, the hunt is on for a killer, and with a plethora of suspects, it's all Sophie can do to keep her family from fighting and try to figure out who left a basket of Ragdoll kittens in her sunroom...

This is the fourth book in the series, and I probably like it better than the others, although I still think that Sophie needs to grow a spine.  She never says no to anyone, even when she knows she should.  Another thing I don't care for is the fact that she practically thinks everyone on her suspect list is the guilty party at one time or another...and she's always wrong.  Where is she getting her clues from in the first place?  Just because someone acts what you think is suspiciously, doesn't mean they're a murderer.  As Laci said, they all have secrets.

But, it was interesting all the same to watch everything play out with the kittens (which I do love) and find out that Mars has a backbone after all.  Now we get to wait and see what happens in the next book, and if he'll revert to being wallpaper.  Something to look forward to.

In the end, it all came together just the way I thought it might, since the clues were leading in that direction all along, and as we expected, the murderer was caught and the reasons for the murder were what we thought.  I will read the next in the series, because this one had enough action to keep me interested enough to keep reading.  Recommended.

As the proud proprietor and head pastry chef of Tea by the Sea, a traditional English tearoom on the picturesque bluffs of Cape Cod, Lily Campbell has her hands full, often literally.  But nothing keeps her busier than steering her sassy grandmother, Rose, away from trouble.  Rose operates the grand old Victorian B&B adjacent to Lily's tea shop...for now.  An aggressive real estate developer, Jack Ford, is pushing hard to rezone nearby land, with an eye toward building a sprawling golf resort, which would drive Rose and Lily out of business.

Tempers are already steaming, but things really get sticky when Ford is found dead at the foot of Rose's property and the police think she had something to do with his dramatic demise.  Lily can't let her grandmother get burned by a false murder charge.  So she starts her own investigation and discovers Ford's been brewing bad blood all over town, from his jilted lover to his trophy wife to his shady business partners.  Now it's down to Lily to stir up some clues, sift through the suspects, and uncover the real killer before Rose is left holding the tea bag...

✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽

Lily Campbell has shucked her job as a pastry chef back in Manhattan and moved to Cape Cod to be closer to her grandmother Rose, who runs a B&B by the sea.  She's doing what she loves best -- creating delicious delights for her tearoom, Tea by the Sea.  But lately there's been a problem: developer Jack Ford wants to buy the Victorian next to Rose's home and turn it into a gigantic golf resort.  While both women are against it, Rose is extremely vocal, going so far as to write a letter to the editor about it.  When Ford is found dead at the bottom of the stairs on Rose's property, the detective in charge, Williams, is sure that she's done it, and doesn't seem to be looking for anyone else.

Luckily - or not so luckily - there's a new detective in town that is listening to Lily, even if she can't do much about it.  But Lily, in between trying to run a business and cook breakfast for guests over at the B&B, has her best friend Bertie to help, along with her new British gardener, Simon.  While Lily doesn't want to investigate at all, Rose does, and she knows she has to if she's going to keep Rose safe.  But will she put her own life in hot water by looking for a killer...

This is the first in a new series and I did like it quite a bit; although I felt there were a lot of characters to sift through.  There were employees at the B&B and the tearoom that offered up conversation and were ever-present along with the main characters.  Then there were the guests at the B&B and the suspects, of which there were many.  It was a lot to take in at once, and even with clues, it was difficult to point the finger at any one person for quite awhile.  It did feel slightly 'cluttered with characters.'

However, I did like the mystery and the way it was carried out, and the descriptions of different types of afternoon teas was very nice.   The recipes in the back are a bonus, too.  I would have liked to have more description of the seacoast, but perhaps that will be in later books.

When we get close to figuring out the murderer, it comes as a surprise right along the time that Lily figures it out, and I'm glad to say that she doesn't panic and is capable of keeping her head while in a dangerous situation.  When the ending comes everything comes together nicely, and I look forward to the next in the series.  Recommended.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This Christmas, Tallie Graver would like to take a break from running her cleaning business to be with her boyfriend, Max, and enjoy their first holiday together -- alone.  Instead, she's stuck keeping her mother and grandmother from duking it out during the town's annual Christmas Eve bingo game.  As for festive spirit, she'll have to settle for her mean-spirited Aunt Ronda, whose mouth could use some soap..

The night only gets worse after Tallie discovers Ronda's body.  It seems someone cleaned her clock with a can of varnish.  While all the evidence points to Ronda's husband, Tallie doesn't believe her beloved Uncle Hoagie could do such a dirty deed.  Of course, his sudden disappearance doesn't help his case.  If Tallie hopes to clear his name, she'll need to dig up some dirt to locate the real killer.  Otherwise, someone else could get rubbed out...

✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽

It's nearing Christmas and Tallie's unlikable grandmother is visiting.  All she does is argue, and no one wants to spend time with her.  But Tallie has agreed to be a buffer between her and Tallie's mother, so they go to bingo together.  But when Tallie is shifted from her seat by a bingo regular, she finds herself sitting between a nice woman and her Aunt Ronda, who also has problems being nice to people.  After an uncomfortable night, Ronda leaves in a huff and forgets her purse.  Tallie runs out the back to give it to her, and finds Ronda -- dead from a blow to the head.  When Ronda's husband, Tallie's Uncle Hoagie, disappears the same night, he's suspected of murdering her.  

But more than this is happening to Tallie:  her uncle Sherman, who's the fire chief, has asked for her help in locating an arsonist that no one is able to catch.  He's depending on Tallie's being able to notice details and her instincts to help him, if she can.  To top it off, her boyfriend Max has announced at the dinner table that he'd be happy to help her father run the mortuary, leaving Tallie free to run her cleaning company, but stunning her at the same time.  Now Tallie's trying to find an arsonist, locate her uncle Hoagie, and decide what to do about Max.  If she can stay alive - again - she might be able to figure it all out...

This is the fifth book in the series and probably the best.  While I figured out what was going on with Hoagie early on in the book, it was still a lot of fun to watch everyone else figure it out along the way.  I loved the fact that Tallie isn't afraid to speak her mind, and she's not an bumbling idiot running into problems because she didn't think them out first.  She's intelligent, and I like that above all things.  I also like the new direction in the friendship between Tallie and Burton; and in this book we learn more about his past and why he is the way he is.  It's bringing more life to the characters involved, and pulling you deeper into their own lives.  It's highly enjoyable.

The story line was one of the best so far, and I loved the fact that Tallie is finding out her own strengths and knows what she wants out of life.  She's able to run a business and still have time for her family and friends, and solve a murder or two along the way.  I also like the fact that she gets her ducks in a row before blindly heading out and getting caught up in bad situations.  It makes the entire book a real pleasure to read.

I also love to read any books about Christmas, and while this one doesn't center on the holiday, it still has enough touches where you know it's there.  There is a presence of family around the table, and conversations much as all families have, along with the siblings arguing over one thing or another.  Days gone by in my household (I live far from my own family); but remembrances live on.

When we get closer to the end of the story everything starts to come together, with surprises still at hand that I don't think anyone could have seen coming.  The ending itself was done wonderfully, giving us a tale that ended satisfactorily and also things to look forward to in the next book.  Highly recommended.

Now that Tallie Graver's cleaning business is starting to shine, she's ready to go squeegee to squeegee against Audra McNeal for a major contract at the Astercromb mansion.   Tallie's not afraid of a little friendly competition from the new cleaner in town.  In fact, Tallie likes Audra, though she wonders how her glamorous rival manages to clean house and maintain her fancy manicure.  Tallie has her rubber-gloves full staying one step ahead of her nemesis.  Until she finds a well-polished hand poking out of a rolled-up carpet, rendering her competition...dead.

Though it lands Tallie the big job, there's nothing tidy about Audra's death.  So between polishing and scrubbing, Tallie's determined to find the killer.  Hopefully the police chief doesn't mind her cluttering up his investigation with the filthy dealings she discovers.  Turns out Audra was not as squeaky clean as she appeared.  And confronting her killer could bring Tallie to a very foul end indeed...

✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽

Tallie Graver is finally happy since her disastrous marriage.  She has her own cleaning business with a good crew, a boyfriend she loves, two pets, and a town she's where she's happy.  But she's also working for her family part-time at their funeral parlor, which is fair since she lives above them, even if she doesn't like the job.  But all in all, she's making it work.

She's ready to bid on a job at a huge mansion, and is up against another cleaner who's just recently arrived in town - Audra McNeal.  When Tallie loses the job unfairly, she's angry.  But when she arrives at the mansion the next day to retrieve her cleaning supplies and her beloved vacuum cleaner, she sees that someone has thrown it into the dumpster behind the mansion.  So getting it back isn't going to be easy, but Tallie's not going to lose it.  However, she finds more than her vacuum...she finds the body of Audra, and now she's waist-high in a murder investigation.

When Chief Burton tells her to leave it alone, Tallie knows she can't, since she liked Audra.  So he bends a little, telling her she can garner information, but that's it.  When Tallie - with the help of her boyfriend Max - digs a bit into Audra, she finds she wasn't the person Tallie thought she was, and might have actually been an enemy.  But because her employee Letty asked her to help since Letty's cousin is a suspect, she won't let go.  Unfortunately, neither will the killer, who's keeping an eye on Tallie as well as her investigation.  If Tallie doesn't hurry, it won't end well and her cleaning days will be over...

This is the fourth book in the series and I have to say that it's one of my favorites.  Tallie's business is taking off, and this book concerns that fact.  There's plenty of things going on at once - her boyfriend is in town for awhile, she's running a business, deciding what she really wants to do with her future, and of course, attempting to locate a killer.  This time out, she's also coming to understand Chief Burton more via her cousin Matt, and I think (and hope) it will bring them to a better understanding of each other.  I agree with Burton that she should become a private investigator, but if not, the series is fine just the way it is.

The clues leading up to the murderer aren't all that apparent, and while I wasn't supremely surprised, there was still a bit of me that was.  The motive for the murder seemed twisted in itself, but with a twisted mind you can't expect anything else.  I enjoyed the ending quite a bit, and it gives us something to look forward to in the next in the series.  Recommended.

⭐⭐⭐

The quaint fishing village of Salmon Cove, Maine, seems like the ideal location for a girls' weekend with Hayley's gal pals, Liddy and Mona.  Liddy's on the rebound from a breakup, but when she meets a handsome tourist, it looks like a little romance might liven things up.

Unfortunately, Liddy's new sweetheart is found dead on the beach the next morning at the town's Lobster Bake, next to an overturned cooking pot.  The liberated lobsters may be scrambling back to the sea, but Hayley's not about to let a murderer escape so easily.  To crack the case, she'll need to blow the lid off some serious undercover activity -- or risk becoming ensnared in a killer's trap...

✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽

Hayley and her friends Liddy and Mona have decided to take a weekend getaway at Mona's uncle's cabin in Salmon Cove, Maine.  But when they arrive, the cabin is worse than anyone thinks -- and the only bathroom is an outhouse.  After discovering there's no rooms at the local hotel, Liddy's determined to go back to Bar Harbor.  But when she meets an attractive tourist in the lobby, she rethinks her plan and decides to stay for at least one night.  But after seeing him at a local bar, she makes plans to be his date for the Lobster Fest, which changes their plans again.  But he stands her up and Liddy is angry, because she can't imagine any man doing that...

Meanwhile, Mona reconnects with an old boyfriend, Corey Guildford.  While she insists to him she's married, she can't help but feel the same attraction she knew years ago, and agrees to spend time with him -- as friends.  So Hayley begins to feel as the third wheel, but decides to stick out the weekend anyway.

When Liddy and Hayley go to the lobsterfest, Hayley sees Liddy's date arguing with the local bar owner.  And later on, when they go to the beach, Liddy finds him dead.  Not to mention that the local sheriff already has it in for them, and now things have gotten worse.  If Hayley doesn't find a killer, they may be on the receiving end of something worse...

This is the ninth book in the series, and unfortunately, it's one of the weakest ones.  The mystery isn't until almost half of the book is over, and in the first half you have Liddy and Mona arguing, and Liddy trying to find a new boyfriend, while Mona is reconnecting with an old one, and Hayley is wondering why the sheriff has it in for her.  

Liddy appears to be the type of woman who needs to have a man or she isn't happy, and Mona is just contentious all around.  So that pretty much leaves Hayley to do everything, and how she stays focused is beyond me.  There were things that bothered me: if this is a tourist town in the summer, how is there only one hotel?  Shouldn't there be more?  Also, if Mona's family owned the cabin for years, why isn't there an indoor bathroom?  I can't imagine her mother saying, "Hey!  Let's go up to the cabin for the summer, and yay, I get to use an outhouse!"  I can't think of any woman who would be okay with this.  So that just didn't make sense to me.

Then, Ellie didn't want anyone to recognize her grandpa, but she's flashing a picture of her dad to Hayley?  Didn't she think Hayley might recognize him?  That just didn't make any sense at all.  Just sayin'.

As far as the mystery goes, it was tied in with the rest of the story, so that's a good thing, but it just wasn't my favorite one.  I also was rather irritated at the ending, figuring it was a cheap way out of what might have been a good storyline at some point in a future book.  It disappointed and saddened me a lot.  But I will read the next in the series, because it might be better.

This Halloween, Hayley can't imagine a worse trick than her ex-husband Danny returning to Bar Harbor.  Her kids may be happy to see their dad, but Hayley's determined not to be taken in by his charms, and suspects he's in financial trouble -- again.

Still, the haunted holiday is about to get a whole lot scarier after Danny's moonshine-making uncle is found lying dead next to a tombstone in a cemetery -- and Danny quickly becomes the prime suspect.  To prove her ex is innocent, Hayley will have to dig deep into her own bag of tricks to unmask the real culprit...before anyone else -- including her -- ends up in the graveyard...

✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽

Hayley Powell is the office manager and a columnist at a newspaper in Bar Harbor, Maine.  She's created a decent life for herself and her two kids, Gemma and Dustin, after her divorce from her husband, Danny.  But when she shows up home one night, she sees two carved pumpkins on her doorstep and knows that they couldn't have been done by anyone else except Danny.  Knowing he must be with his drunkard of an uncle, Otis, she heads out to the cabin in the woods and finds them both.  

Danny insists he's changed and is just there for a visit, and wants to spend time with them.  Knowing her ex, she's naturally suspicious and doesn't believe a word of it, but she allows Danny to temporarily disrupt her life anyway -- while waiting for the ball to drop.  When Otis is found dead in a graveyard, it's soon apparent he's been murdered.  It's also apparent that Danny's the main suspect when Otis's money is found missing, and even though she doesn't believe he's guilty, she needs to figure out who is before he winds up in prison.

But more things are going on behind the scene:  Hayley and her co-worker Bruce Linney have gone to see a reclusive horror author, but are told by his assistant Shane that he's ill and can't see anyone.  Disappointed, they tell him they'll try again but Hayley becomes suspicious (again) when he puts them off.  Then she finds out that Dustin's friend has written a horror novel and submitted it to the reclusive Norman Cross; her ex-boyfriend and Gemma's employer, veterinarian Aaron, has a new girlfriend who's an attorney named Crystal who also apparently hates Hayley on sight and Gemma's having problems at work with her co-worker; and to top things off, Danny's crazy ex-girlfriend Becky shows up in Bar Harbor insisting she wants him back.  Couple that with two shady men following her and Danny around town, and you have what is a very interesting Halloween...if Hayley can live to see it...

This is the eighth book in the series, and while I wasn't enamored of the previous ones, I have to say that I really enjoyed this book.  There's plenty of action that didn't take place with Hayley and her friends sitting around getting plastered (which was my main problem, since all they did was drink).

This time out we have a real mystery to dig through, with plenty of threads that are twisted throughout, and watching them come together is quite intriguing.  We also have a bit of a teaser here that gives us an indication of what will happen in future books, but I'm not going to give it away.

Danny is indeed a charmer, captivating all that he comes in contact with, men and women alike (aside from Mona), and watching Hayley try to figure out why he's really there is worth the read, because with Danny comes most of the rest of the problems they endure -- including a crazy ex-girlfriend and what she does makes me glad I don't know anyone like her.

But when we come to the ending it was quite a surprise, and putting the pieces together wasn't easy (although I did have part of it early on, I had to wait to see where the rest of it was going).  The climax was decent, and the ending was quite satisfactory.  Recommended.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Most housecleaners don't do windows, but Tallie Graver loves leaving a pane of glass streak-free and sparkling.  After a dirty divorce from a filthy-rich jerk, she's started her own cleaning business to make ends meet.  On her latest job, prepping a renovated bed and breakfast for a grand re-opening, she's standing outside on a ladder, wiping off a grimy pane, when she spies a man on a bed through the glass.  But the B&B isn't open for business yet - and the man's not sleeping.  Her family owns the Graver Funeral Home, so Tallie knows a corpse when she sees one.

The victim is a shady building inspector with a reputation for handing out passing grades for a greased palm.  With the local police resistant, Tallie launches her own investigation, before she gets a rep as the town crank.  But it's going to take more than a squirt bottle and a squeegee to clean up this mess.  With the help of her gal pal Gina, Tallie searches for a killer's motive.  But she'd better be careful, or it'll be curtains for this window cleaner...

✽✽✽✽✽✽✽✽

Tallie Graver divorced her wealthy husband and left her old life behind to move back home.  She lives above her parents' mortuary, where she also works part-time, but the job she loves doing is cleaning homes - sometimes for the people she used to socialize with.  While cleaning windows for a local inn, she looks in one of them and sees a dead man.  She knows he must have been murdered, because his head was cocked at an unnatural angle.  But since her sometimes-friend Police Chief Burton has been out of commission due to an accident, she now has to deal with Detective Hammond, an unlikable man from another precinct who is taking over for awhile.  

Detective Hammond dislikes Tallie on sight, and seems to know an awful lot about her even though they've never met.  He tells her it was a heart attack, and she doesn't believe him, nor does anyone else -- except her best friend Gina.  When Tallie decides to look into the murder - as she's convinced it was one - she finds out that the man was an unscrupulous home inspector who was into more than inspecting homes.  And with support from an unlikely and surprising source, Tallie and Gina are on the tail of a killer.  Now if Tallie can just stay alive long enough to find out who it is...

This is the third book in the series, and I must say that I really enjoyed it.  Tallie is coming more into her own in this book, and not whining about what could have been.  She's happy in her job, has a new boyfriend that she's falling in love with, and even though she's not rich, she's doing what she wants, and that counts for a lot.  Unfortunately, her father wants her to quit cleaning houses and come to work at the mortuary full time, which is causing a tad bit stress as she tries to put off coming to a decision in that quarter.

When she starts digging, she comes in contact with the dead man's secretary, who seems to be hiding things of her own, and may know more than she's telling.  Tallie and Gina - who's also having problems on her own end - refuse to stop looking, and therefore come into close contact again with Hammond, who unreasonably (as Tallie believes) hates her.  But then Tallie begins to wonder why that's so, and how he knows everything about her.

What ensues is a very nice mystery that soon turns into more than that, and while Tallie doesn't walk into dangerous situations, sometimes things just seem to find her to cause more problems.  But there are a few turns, and more than a few surprises, to bring us to the motive for murder and how we may have been off the mark just a little in that area.  At any rate, when the ending comes, it was worth the read and I plan to continue with this series.  Recommended.
