I have enjoyed the Leigh Koslow series. As I was checking my ebook library the cover caught my eye and I decided to read it. It is listed as a romantic suspense but I feel it is a mystery and the romance is minor to the mystery. The protagonist has return to her home after being gone for eighteen years. Her best friend Jenny was kill in an auto accident shortly after their senior prom.

I didThe first book in a new series, the haunted craft Fair, is a paranormal mystery. The cover drags into the book and much of the plot is creative. I did not connect with the characters and felt the book could use a good editor as the story jumped around that it was hard to follow. The way the good travel tips were given were laid out made it hard to locate your place in the book and hides the story. I gave it 3 1/2 stars. Celeste is an artist and travels to various craft fairs in a Shasta trailer. She travels with a chihuahua, Van Gogh. One of painting is return for a refund and and woman tells Celeste that the painting is haunted. Celeste does see and talks with the lady in the picture. She attracts two men at the fair. Celeste is slowly beginning to settle into her new life file when unpleasant campground manager is found murder and she is determined to find an answer to his death.The ending has a surprise that will amuse you. Does Celeste discover the guilty party? Is the painting haunted? Who is the mysterious lady? I recommend this book. Travel tips included.

The second book in the Merry and Bright hand crafting series, Merry is busy staging Season Greetings Christmas Parade. The Santa float is missing and The second book in the Merry and Bright hand crafting series, Merry is busy staging Season Greetings Christmas Parade. The Santa float is missing and when Merry located it she found Jenna Wilcox's DEAD body in Santa sleigh. Jenna had made a Naughty list of the residents and planned to display the list with the reasons on her float. This means there are enough residents to want her gone. The matter if Merry is a widow or a divorce along with owner of the winning lottery ticket is in the court waiting for a judge to adjudicate it. From a rumor circulating around town Merry heard that her ex-husband embezzled a large sum of money from the town and plan to payback the sun with the lottery ticket. Merry vegans to investigate to find who was responsible for the low of town's funds. I found the book with the Christmas scene overdone and began to feel Kerry's character came off negative as she hurry to inform the sheriff of minor details. I recommend this book especially for Christmas lovers.
