I found this a little slow going; took a while to get into it. It's a historical mystery, although the main characters are living in the present. Lots of geneology; lots of names to keep track of, which isn't easy. Not the best book in the series.

Fun series that I just found. It was a great beach read!

This cozy gives a lot of very interesting background history of Washington state that I found fascinating. The mystery itself is fun but a bit confusing because of so many characters.

An excellent addition to this series and the only victim has been dead for many years.

Here's another treasure in the delightful series in which a new female newspaper owner in a small town in the state of Washington struggles to fit in.
The characters are delightfully nutty & there's always something going on.....mostly leading to a discovery of a murder by the owner of the newspaper, which doesn't please the local sheriff. This delightful series continues with most of the leading characters
in the successive books. You'll learn to love the characters & won't want to miss their growth over the series.Great reading!!

This series of a small Washington state newspaper evidently will go from A to Z before it ends. The editor and owner, Emma Lord, is a single mom with a grown son who changes colleges and majors as often as changing socks. Emma's staff is a mix of some great characters and the small mountain town setting is wonderful as are the townspeople. Emma has a long time love, but the sheriff would like to be closer to her. The mysteries are very original. One of my very favorite series and authors.
