Wed, Read & Dead review

Title:  Wed, Read & Dead

Author:  V.M. Burns

Series: Mystery Bookshop #4

Chapters: 16

Pages: 263

Genre: Cozy Mystery

Rating: 4 Stars

Wed, Read, & Dead is the fourth book in the Mystery Bookshop series by V.M Burns.  Samantha Washington's bookshop is doing great and she's still writing.  But now she not only has to plan a wedding but solve a murder and find the real killer otherwise the groom's going to have to say I DO behind bars.   I love all the characters in this series especially the sassy grandma who packs a pistol. She reminds me so much of my own grandmother who's gone now.  I love the two dogs in the story they tend to remind of my friends dogs.

This cozy mystery set around a bookstore owner, writer and amateur detective is something that nerdy little me used to dream about as a child.  The book is only 16 chapters long you can pretty much finish it in one day if you've got a couple of hours to read. It's a fast read for a cozy.  I would recommend this one for anyone who loves cozy mysteries, books, and bookstores. And as always 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.

Review of the Novel Art of Murder

Title: The Novel Art of Murder

Pg: 256

Series: Mystery Bookshop book 3 

Genre: Cozy Mystery

Rating:  3.5 Stars

     The Novel Art of Murder is the 3 book in the Mystery Bookshop series by V.M. Burns. Samantha Washington’s book shop is doing good. She’s still writing her books and waiting to hear back from an agent. When a new murder mystery lands in her lap. In which her grandmother is the prime suspect. She must work quickly to find the real killer and clear her grandmother’s name.

     Like with the first two in the series this is a quick read, that despite the fact that it is a murder mystery there is quite a few bits of humor found in the story. Especially from Samantha’s grandmother.  I look forward to the next book in this series.
