Welcome back to Hope Street Church, where friendships are formed, fresh starts are encouraged, and mysteries are solved . . .

It's June in Virginia, and the scent of flowers and the sound of wedding bells are in the air, an unwelcome reminder to Cooper Lee of the long-distance relationship she recently ended. When Cooper and her Bible study group are invited to spend a weekend at a newly renovated historic inn, it's the perfect chance to get away with friends and put her bittersweet memories behind herâ??until the inn's pompous co-owner is murdered and one of the suspects is Cooper's own mother.

Certain that someone on the inn's staff must have done the cruel deed, the Bible study group begins piecing together the clues, only to learn that everyone there has a motive for murder. When they discover that a valuable painting has also been stolen from the inn, they know they're up against an especially cunning evildoer. Determined to bring the culprit to justice and save her mother, Cooper and her friends devise a risky scheme to trap the killer, because even the Bible study group must sometimes work in mysterious ways . . .

Includes heavenly recipes from Magnolia Lee's kitchen!

Cooper Lee was supposed to be getting married but because the long distance relationship failed she is a bit down in the dumps when she is asked by a friend to help plan her wedding. Reluctantly agreeing, Cooper enlists her sister Ashley to help. Ashley wants a trade of services - she'll work on planning the wedding for Cooper's friend if Cooper will get her Sunrise Bible Study group to help Ashley's friend evaluate her historic Inn as for readiness to open. The Bible group will have to suffer through elegant food, massages, just general pampering all for a good cause. But all doesn't go well because Ashley's friend's stepmother (co-owner of the Inn) dies under mysterious circumstances and Cooper's mother is a suspect!

The story was so much fun and I love the characters in this series! The generosity and love that exudes from the characters is tremendous. Certainly hope there are more coming for this series! ( )

The Deeds of the Deceitful by Ellery Adams and Tina Radcliffe is the sixth A Hope Street Church Mystery. It can be read as a standalone if you are new to the series or have missed a tale or two. I have enjoyed following the series and getting to know Cooper Lee, the Lee family, and the members of the Sunrise Bible Study. I thought the story was well-written with steady pacing and developed characters. I like that there is a diverse cast of characters in a wide range of ages. Cooper Lee is our protagonist whose engagement recently dissolved. The story begins in June in Virginia close to the day Cooper was to have wed. She is thirty-five years old and is beginning to wonder if the right man is out there for her. It is especially hard with Angela Farmer and her boss, Mr. Farmer deciding to renew their vows on their anniversary. Angela makes Cooper part of the bridal party and Cooper’s sister Ashley becomes the wedding planner. The wedding planning and the event itself add humor to the story. Cooper Lee is a kind soul who will go the extra mile for family and friends. Ashley’s friend, Mindy Atwood has spent her inheritance restoring the historical Atwood Inn. Cooper Lee and her friends of the Sunrise Bible Study get to spend the weekend at the inn for the soft launch. It is the getaway Cooper needs. Unfortunately, Loretta ends dead under suspicious circumstances and Cooper’s mother is at the top of the suspect list along with Mindy Atwood. Cooper is not about to let her mother linger as a person of interest and her friends are quick to offer their assistance. The mystery was a fun one to solve. I had an inkling as to the identity of the guilty party early in the case, but I had no idea as to why. I could not wait to see if I was right. There are several good suspects along with a red herring and helpful clues. This was my favorite mystery of the series. Cooper Lee meets a new fellow at the inn and there is definitely chemistry between them. I hope we get to see more of the charming Chef Eason in future books because he seems to be a good match for Cooper Lee. The ending was a delight. There are recipes for some of Maggie Lee’s baked goods at the end. The Deeds of the Deceitful is an entertaining cozy mystery with a handsome historic inn, a snobbish stepmother, a crafty killer, a purloined painting, wedding renewal woes, and delectable delights.

If you like a good Bible centered Southern mystery full of friendship and romance in a historic setting, you'll love this one. This is the first I've read in the series, but that really didn't matter to my enjoyment of the read. Good plot and even better characters!
I requested and received a free ebook copy from Beyond the Page Publishing via NetGalley. Thank you! ( )
