Mystic Mayhem---NOLA, psychics, resort-hotel, amateur-sleuth, women-sleuths, paranormal, murder-investigation, humor *****
What a fun mystery! And it's set in my favorite city to visit, NOLA! Well, technically most of it is in the imaginary Mystic Isle Resort, but it's still on the bayou. The characters are just too much fun, and the humor is excellent. The mystery plot is well executed with many interesting twists, and the locale descriptions are clear. The publisher's blurb is adequate and is no spoiler. Looking forward to the next book with great anticipation!

Mystic Mistletoe Murder--- women-sleuths, amateur-sleuth, cozy-mystery, theft, murder, bayou, psychics, resort-hotel, paranormal, humor *****
Why is the wife such a bitter pill? Was he really fooling around with the resort chef? It's nasty enough that someone seriously murdered Papa Noel the evening of the Christmas party for the children, but the perp also stole the presents and all of the money collected to fund a bone marrow transplant for one of the girls!
Let the sleuthing begin! Along with all of the other madness of the Christmas season there in the bayou where nothing is what it seems, there's a whole lot of crazy going on!
Great characters and storyline make this a really enjoyable cozy.

Mystic Mischief---misunderstanding, bayou, psychics, resort-hotel, amateur-sleuth, women-sleuths, paranormal, murder-investigation, humor *****
The tatoo artist/sleuth and the detective are having some interpersonal problems, the twin descendants of Jean Lafitte have a document worth a fortune until one is killed and the document is stolen. Add in a TV film crew and some even crazier characters than normal, and you have a really excellent read full of surprises!
Enjoy!… (mais)
