Til Death Do Us Party by Vicki Fee is the fourth book in the Liv and Di in Dixie Mystery series. Liv is on vacation in Las Vegas along with her husband, in-laws, and friend Di and her boyfriend for her mama's wedding. The trip is going well for the most part until the actual wedding when the Elvis minister dies in the middle of the ceremony. Liv's cousin is the prime suspect, and her mama expects Liv and Di to solve the mystery. With problems back in Dixie and drama in Vegas, this book is full of action. The characters are wonderful as always, and the mystery was strong. This is one of my favorite cozy mystery series.
Cynthia Baxter's first book in the Lickety Splits Mystery series is Murder with a Cherry on Top. Kate has returned home to help her aunt and also open an ice cream shop. Unfortunately her new shop is across the street from her childhood enemy, Ashley. Ashley owns a bakery and is now selling ice cream. Soon after Kate and Ashley have a very public argument, Ashley is found dead. To save her reputation and her business, Kate must find the real killer. I enjoyed the characters and the ice cream theme including the recipes at the end. I do wish that Kate would spend a bit of time in the ice cream shop to make her role as a business owner more believable. Otherwise this was a compelling start to a new series!disclosure: I received these e-books through NetGalley but was not otherwise compensated for these reviews. All opinions are my own!
