Staged 4 Murder by JC Eaton is the third book in the Sophie Kimball Mystery series. Phee is hoping to focus on her work at the private investigation company even though her crush has arrived from Minnesota. Her mom insists on daily updates from the local theater company's production of Agatha Christie's The Mousetrap. Phee's mom and the members of her mother's book club are all taking part. When Miranda, the lead actress, is found murdered, the suspect list is long. Miranda was no one's favorite person. Other members of the cast start receiving threatening notes, Phee and her co-workers are in the middle of another mystery. I enjoy this series. Phee's mom is quite a character. The mystery was strong and kept me guessing until the end. This is another hit from the husband and wife writing team that are among my favorite authors!
Book two in the Sister Lou Mystery series by Olivia Matthews is Peril & Prayer. The advent season is nearing, and Sister Lou's congregation is having a retreat at a local resort. She is tasked with planning the retreat and with keeping Sister Marianna in line. Things are not going well when Sister Marianna has a confrontation with the owner over the menu. When the owner is found murdered, Sister Marianna is at the top of the suspect list. Sister Lou, her nephew Chris, and journalist Sheri are determined to solve the latest mystery. Sister Lou is a wonderful cozy heroine. The mystery kept me guessing up until the end. I also like the side stories involving Sheri's job and Chris and Sheri. I look forward to more in this wonderful series!
