Grounds for Remorse by Misty Simon is the second book in the Tallie Graver Mystery series. Tallie hopes she is done with murder and can get back to her part-time job at her family's funeral home and her cleaning business. All is not well with her best friend Gina. Gina discovers that her perfect boyfriend is actually married. Her parting words threatening come back to haunt her when he is found dead inside her locked home. Tallie sets out to find the killer and clear Gina's name. The setting and characters are fun. The story features the slightest touch of romance but not so much that it crosses over into a love story rather than a cozy mystery. The mystery was strong. I thought I had it figured out, but I got a surprise at the end. This is a great second book in the series.
Meg Macy's second book in the Teddy Bear Mystery series is Bear Witness to Murder. It is autumn in Silver Hollow and time for Oktobear Festival. Sasha is the manager of the Silver Bear Shop and Factory and is busy with all of the bear related activities. Her sister is one of the artists creating a bear for the Bears on Parade. Unfortunately Sasha's high school rival Holly is back in town and causing problems for everyone. The mystery portion of this book was good. My first problem with this book was the weak actions of Maggie regarding her boyfriend. The second was Sasha's mother's behavior with Sasha's ex-husband. I found both of these characters annoying. I hope they turn into more normal characters for book three.disclosure: I received these books through NetGalley but was not otherwise compensated for these reviews. All opinions are my own!
