Review: The Wayward Wind: The Journey Continues: The Cozy Cruise Mysteries Book Fourteen
The Wayward Wind: The Journey Continues: The Cozy Cruise Mysteries Book Fourteen by Lizzie JosephsonMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Another installment in the series. This one joins the WayWard wind on her journey towards Australia. This book definitely benefits from having read the others in the series to be familiar with the characters. This does a good job of combining corporate malfeasance and travel to exotic locales. It is a good quick read that is a nice length to read about a mystery.

German house swap goes awry
Etta and Dora go on a visit to Germany and find themselves mixed up in another murder . With only a few suspects and all of them uncomfortable to imagine as a killer their inquiries dig into family matters.

Review: Deck the Halls with Fudge
Deck the Halls with Fudge by Nancy CoCoMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I enjoyed this novella and the change of narrators. It was fun to get a different perspective of the main characters. The mystery was a bit predictable but the motive was well concealed. The Christmas setting on Mackinac was a charming one and makes me want to visit at the holidays.

Review: Death of an Irish Druid
Death of an Irish Druid by Catie MurphyMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
A fun variation on the series. This time we have new sidekicks for Megan as her friends from CA come to visit. The other refreshing change was Megan playing a mentor role to Aislin. She was quite a contrast to the other crazy characters in Aislins life. This book also gave a glimpse of the Irish countryside vs the typical Dublin setting in the series. I appreciate how ms Murphy kept to series fresh and entertaining as it has progressed
