You’ll
love this collection of intriguing and light-hearted stories from award-winning
and best-selling authors from across the globe.
My review:
For the purposes of my review, I only read one of the stories that is in this anthology. That story is "Thanksgiving and Theft." I will, however, read the rest of them at my leisure because frankly, cozy reads are usually fun and easy reads. Each story will take an hour to hour and a half to read.
"Thanksgiving and Theft" takes place...around Thanksgiving...in a quaint neighborhood in Toronto, Canada. The main character, Lois, is transported back into memories and nostalgia when her and a friend are thrust into a mugging in the near-by park.
The two ladies incorporate a third into amateurish sleuthing using visual techniques they have picked up along the way.
It is rather obvious who the culprit is but this reader could not help but wait for the older ladies as they come to conclusions.
It was a fun story, a bit repetitive, but overall just enough of a cozy to not get overwhelmed with the whole anthology. I kept rooting for those gals the whole way. That will teach those rotten muggers to mess with some old ladies!
I recommend this book if you just want a quick read at a time.
4 stars.
Disclosure: I purchased a Kindle copy of this book for my own collections. The views here are 100% my own and may differ from yours. ~Michelle
About the authors:
Two
US Today bestselling authors are among these nine authors who hail from
Germany, Italy, Northern Ireland and the United States.
Their
current and past occupations are diverse and include lawyer, perfumery shop
owner, biology lecturer, marketing consultant, global house and pet sitter,
interior designer, university campus minister, journalist, tea lady, arborist,
bookseller and lottery archivist.
Their
interests and hobbies are broad too. Here’s just a few: anthropology, walking
and hiking, quilting, sailing, lindy hop dancing, suburban homesteading, sci-fi
and urban fantasy, playing bagpipes and poetry. While many have traveled and
lived in places around the world that were new and exciting to them, one even
lives in a tiny campervan that’s traversed several American states this year!
Yet
as diverse as they are, they all share a love of cozy mysteries and telling a
good tale. And that’s what they have done in this collection of stories and
novellas that introduces readers to characters in each author’s cozy mystery
series.
