Southern Discomfort by Caroline Fardig is the first book in the Southern B&B Mystery series. Quinn and her sister, Delilah, run their grandfather's bed and breakfast in Savannah, Georgia. She is happy with her life even if it lacks excitement. That all changes when she stops by her friend Drew's restaurant and finds his brother murdered. Drew is the main suspect, and the investigating officers hint that Quinn may be as well. Quinn and soon Delilah begin investigating. I love that Quinn is a good southern woman always trying to be polite. This book also offers a hint of a ghost which is a southern touch. This is a good start to a series. Some of the parts drag just a bit, but the characters have room to grow as this series progresses.
The third book in the Perfectly Proper Paranormal Museum Mystery series by Kirsten Weiss is Deja Moo. Maddie runs a paranormal museum in the town of San Benedetto, California. It is the holiday season which means the town breaks out the Christmas cow, a giant cow fashioned out of straw. The second holiday tradition is that the cow is almost always burnt each year. Unfortunately the cow burning this year comes with murder when one of the cow guards is shot with an arrow. Maddie helps her mom investigate the murder while dealing with panic over her holiday museum exhibit, haunted cow bells. I enjoyed the writing style and the characters. It was nice to have a heroine who has some common sense.
