Death by the Sea by Kathleen Bridge is the first book in the By the Sea Mystery series. Liz returns home to the Indialantic by the Sea hotel in Florida after a mysterious event in New York. When a super rich and annoying guest of the hotel is found murdered. Liz sets out to solve the mystery since she is on the suspect list. This book is full of quirky characters which makes it all the more fun. A fair amount of time was spent introducing the characters and the setting as well as alluding to what happened to Liz in New York. The mystery still held its own, and I am expecting future books to be even stronger.
Logan Corelli authored The Haunted Heart of America which looks at famous and not so famous hauntings across America. One thing I love about ghost stories is that they are part history and part haunting. The book moved along quickly with some of the stories being more interesting than others. The stories were spooky but not scary. I enjoyed the book and would read more from the author.
disclosure: I received these e-books through NetGalley but was not otherwise compensated for these reviews. All opinions are my own!
