Rating: 4 stars

Publisher: Crooked Lane Books

 

Reading Between the Crimes is the second book in the Jane Doe Book Club mystery series by Kate Young and I enjoyed this one more than I did the first one in the series.  I found myself starting to actually like Lyla more in this one than I did the first one. And I think it's because she was starting to grow into her own and find out who she is outside of her family.  I also found the mystery in this one more interesting than that of the previous book. And I also didn't see the twisting coming either. All in all, I glad I picked up the second book in this series even though I didn't really like the first one, and I look forward to the next book in the series. 

I received a copy of this book from the publisher through netgalley. I was not required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are mine alone. 

 

 

Southern Sass and Killer Cravings review

Author:  Kate Young

Series: Marygene Brown Book 1

Chapters: 40

Pages: 361

Genre: cozy mystery

Rating: 3 stars

While this wasn't my favorite cozy mystery ,  think I'm getting burnt out on cozies set in the south  as well as those involving food and restaurants  it was till a pretty enjoyable read.  It was also a pretty fast read as well. I found myself quickly turning the pages because I just had to find out how the book ended and who donit.   I didn't even figure out who did it so when the book revealed who did it,  I was shocked.   

I guess the reason I didn't like it was I couldn't believe how not close the two sisters were.  I couldn't image not being close to my sister I'm mean weren't aren't best friends but we are pretty close.  But for someone else it may be their next favorite book. I would recommend this book to fans of cozy mysteries, especially those that like  mystery with food and restaurants.
