Author Spotlight

Author Spotlight – Sarah Fox

Sarah Fox is one of my favorite cozy mystery authors. I’ve read four of her five series in their entirety and loved them even though they are all very different. Her writing style and vivid descriptions really work for me. I highly recommend trying her books out.

True Confections Mysteries

I love this series. It has a very unique setting and the author is great at vividly describing it. I love all of the side characters and the bits of romance in the stories. The mysteries keep you on the edge of your seat and have action packed reveals.

Pancake House Mysteries

I love this series. I was intrigued by the first page of the first book. The mysteries keep you wanting to turn the pages. The side characters are delightful and really add to the stories. Definitely have pancakes and syrup on hand while reading this series.

Literary Pub Mysteries

This is a really enjoyable series although I wouldn’t call it either literary or pub themed. The mysteries and characters definitely kept me invested in the series and I wanted to continue to see what would happen next.

Magical Menageries Mysteries

This is a very unique cozy mystery series as it takes place on an animal sanctuary. I was a little apprehensive about picking up this cozy mystery as I don’t like paranormal cozy mysteries. I was pleasantly surprised by the magical dogs in the series. If you like Sofie Kelly’s Magical Cats series, give this one a try. They are similar but totally different at the same time but just as enjoyable.

Music Lovers Mysteries

I haven’t read this series yet. Violinist turned amateur sleuth Midori Bishop investigating fellow musicians death. She’s starting a new relationship with the maestro and he’s is the number one suspect. Midori needs to get involved to clear his name.

Hallmark Mystery Movie Review

Jane Mysteries: Murder at Moseby – Hallmark + Mystery Movie Review

This mystery series features Jane DiSilva a nightclub singer in Paris turned PI due to an inheritance from her Uncle Harold – the Foundation for Righting Wrongs. Jane was reluctant to take the inheritance since she doesn’t know how to investigate or solve a case but with practice she finds that she better at it than she thought and she can provide closure and help others get justice. Jane works with a detective John Cameron on the cases. They are a great team and both believe in the cause. Jane’s Aunt Sadie gets involved in the cases in very interesting ways. This movie series is based on a Book Series. This is one of the four Jane Mystery movies on Hallmark+.

In this mystery, an old friend at their old college Moseby asks Jane and the foundation for help. He finds an old photo in his camera of what he thinks may be someone loading a dead body in a car. There are some flashback to 15 years before in this mystery which makes it a little different from other mysteries in the series. Jane goes undercover as a substitute theater professor to get her closer to the action to solve the crime. There is a really fun side character that’s in this mystery. I really love the mystery and conclusion to this one. I highly recommend the movies especially this one!!

Hallmark Mystery Movie Review

Aurora Teagarden: A Lesson In Murder Hallmark + Mystery Movie Review

I loved the original Hallmark Aurora Teagarden series. It had exactly what I was looking for in a mystery movie series including a sleuth around my own age. I love it so much I didn’t want to give the new Aurora Teagarden series a try. I’m glad I did give it a try. It has Aurora, Sally, and Arthur in college and starting there careers. This new series adds a lot to the old series and all of the characters. To see where the characters came from. We rarely are given this chance. You also see the beginnings of Aida’s real estate business. This is a movie series based on the characters in the Aurora Teagarden book series but don’t have any books in the series for these movies.

In this movie, Aurora is at college studying true crime literature much to the chagrin of her mother Aida (still played by Marilu Henner). The mystery has many twists, turns, and suspects. The ending is surprised me and I’m sure it will surprise you too.

There are currently three of the new Aurora Teagarden movies out on Hallmark+ and hopefully there will be more to come.

Mystery Island: Winner Takes All Hallmark + Mystery Movie Review

Mystery enthusiasts are invited to an island to solve a mystery. There is a detective, investment banker, podcaster, real estate agent, and a mystery writer along with all of the staff putting on the mystery. No service on the island for cell phones or Internet. Someone will die but is it for real or not?

This was an enjoyable mystery full of twists, turns, and secrets. I highly recommend!
