I received a free copy of this book from the publisher through netgalley and voluntarily reviewed it.

I've been in a cozy mystery reading mood lately, so when deciding what to read next I came across this one and decided to finally continue this series. I've fallen behind a bit, but after finishing this one I am determined to catch up again as I had fun reading this one. There's a solid mystery and I love the core group of characters that are back in each book.

Murder at the Fortune Teller's Table involves as the title suggest a murder involving a fortune teller. Two dead bodies are found in this book and the police thinks it's an accident. The Silver Sentinels, a group of crime solving people, think it was murder. Main character Kelly and the Silver Sentinels set out to get to the bottom of the mystery. Add in one of the Sentinels who gets attacked and a promise to help Summer and contact some people for her, family secrets that come to light and this mystery is an exciting one with enough going on.

This is another solid mystery. I like how Kelly and the Silver Sentinels are on the case. They distribute tasks and come together regularly to discuss their findings. I like how the set-up is slightly different than most cozies with the main character being part of a group and not going after all the leads herself. After a while they manage to limit the pool of suspects a bit, but there are still plenty suspects left. It also made sense why the police didn't get involved as to them it was clear it was an accident. I had my guess as to who was the murderer, but wasn't fully sure yet, but my guess turned out to be correct. After the first few suspects got eliminated it was hard to pinpoint things further until things come to light at the end, but this made for a suspenseful mystery as till the end I wasn't fully sure who had done it.

Besides the mystery this series has enough other plot lines going on. From how Kelly is settling in with her role as manager for the B&B and finding her place in the community. To a slowly blossoming friendship between Kelly and Scott, which might lead to more. Then there are the side characters like Tommy, Allie, Daniel and Helen who make an appearance in every book. The silver Sentinels who are a big part of each story. A fun cast of dog side characters as well, which varies a bit every book. This book introduces us to the dogs Princes and Sergeant and later Jake as well. There also is a Flower and Wine festival coming up, as well as the usual comings and goings of the B&B. There is a bit about a new project Scott is managing close by and some llama's. I think we'll see more of that in future books.

I like how the story alternates between the mystery and other plot lines. We see enough of Kelly's job as a B&B manager, her place in the community and her relationships with other characters. And also have plenty of focus on the mystery and other happenings. There are a few times when a side plot line feels tad rushed, but these are only minor instances where a scene seems to go a bit too fast. Everything gets wrapped up well by the end. The author manages a good balance between the different elements and I like the cast of both human and canine characters. Kelly is a likable main character and I like reading about the silver sentinels and the other recurring side characters.

Now that I finished this book and am reminded of how much I enjoy this series, I am determined to go and catch up on the rest of the series. I just bought book 4 and 5, so I hope to get to those soon.

To summarize: This was a fun read. Murder at the Fortune teller's Table involves two deaths which are ruled an accident by the police, but the Silver Sentinels believe it's murder. It has a solid mystery with plenty of suspects and some other suspicious elements and twists and turns as well. I managed to guess the murderer right, but I wasn't 100% sure as there were a few other possible suspects that weren't ruled out too. I like the combination of a solid mystery as well as some side plot lines about the characters and the daily life of main character Kelly while managing the B&B. It has a lovely group of characters both human and canine. I really enjoyed this one and am determined to try and get caught up on this series again.

Murder at the Fortune Teller's Table was a great book. It is part of a book series that I have really been enjoying. Unlike so many mysteries I was not able to figure out who the murderer was before the answer was revealed.

I received this book free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

I'm not quite sure how I would describe this book. The plot was interesting, and kept me guessing. The characters seemed realistic. But I just felt sort of blah about it. It may have just been my mood while I was reading it. It wasn't so bad that I wouldn't order it for the library. I just don't think I'll ever read it again.

Author Janet Finsilver sets the scene for a pleasant cozy mystery that is heartwarming in a wonderful setting with fantastic characters. I enjoyed the first two books in the Kelly Jackson series, and this one was just as good. The main cast of characters are intelligent, fun, and easy to imagine as real-life friends.

Kelly Jackson is the new manager of Redwood Bed & Breakfast. She is still learning about the various festivals in the area. At the latest festival she meets Despina (better known as Auntie) who reads patterns in coffee grounds. When Summer, a close friend of Auntie, gets news from her, she approaches the Silver Sentinels for assistance finding a man and woman who are the biological parents of her son. She says that it's a life or death matter. The Sentinels start investigating, and it quickly becomes clear someone doesn't like their queries. When the murders start, Auntie and Summer found poisoned, Kelly is threatened and Mary is attacked, they know they are on the right track.

I love the small town setting in this series, and we got an even better look into the bed-and-breakfast that Kelly manages in this installment. Her friends, the Silver Sentinels, as they call themselves, are a great group and their distinct personalities work well together. There is a bit of a side story going on involving homeless people and service dogs that add another realistic aspect to the story. I was surprised at the ending, yet when you look back, there were clues there and it all fit. Remember, most murders are for love or money. A great cozy mystery that I recommend to any mystery lover.

Kelly Jackson returns in another story set in Redwood Cove. The Bed and Breakfast is set in what truly seems like a magical place, with beautiful views and the new themed rooms to entice newcomers. I like the older secondary characters as well, they are an intelligent bunch. I like the idea of the past mystery colliding with the present.

Kelly Jackson and the Silver Sentinels are back in the third installment of the Kelly Jackson Mystery series (Murder at the Fortune Teller's Table by author Janet Finsilver)! With each consecutive book in this series, the reader becomes more involved with the small town (and very likable residents) of Redwood Cove....especially those living at Redwood Cove B&B (Helen, Tommy and Fred the basset hound) and the surrounding town including Daniel, Allie and the Silver Sentinels (Ivan, Rudy, the Professor, Mary and Gertie). We start off with 2 murders, most likely stemming from a decades old secret, and it's up to Kelly and the gang to find the culprit before someone else is harmed. The town is busy with the Wine and Flowers Festival, and Scott has moved in to take over Michael Corrigan's company retreat. The murderer really surprised me this time, which I always consider a bonus when reading a mystery. I highly recommend this book and I really hope that there's a fourth installment in this series! A+

Murder at the Fortune Teller's Table by Janet Finsilver is the third book in the Kelly Jackson Mystery series. This is one of the best cozy mysteries I have read in a long time. The book easily stands on its own (although I am now planning to read the previous two). Kelly is the manager of a bed and breakfast. She and the crime solving group, the Silver Sentinels, are soon caught up in a mystery when two accidental deaths seem anything but accidental. I loved the setting and especially the characters. The book is very well written, and the mystery kept me interested until the end. I am happy to have discovered this wonderful cozy mystery series!

Murder at the Fortune Teller's Table is the 3rd book in a series. Its a stand alone novel like most cozy series. Its very easy to pick up on everyone in the book.

I really got pulled into this book pretty quickly. The favor that the Silver Sentinels were asked to do, really explodes into something big, and by big, I mean a death that ends up being a murder, ok 2 deaths

Early on, I had ideas on who would have caused the two deaths but it was fun to watch as the mystery unfolds to find out if I was right in my suspicions or not. It was nowhere near right, so that was really awesome.

Kelly was a smart character but it really was the Silver Sentinels that pulled the story together, though Kelly did had all the bad things happen to her as a result of their looking for answers.

The mystery involved the death of a woman who had adopted a child years ago and an herbalist/fortune teller, that has ties to the couple involved. This is the first cozy mystery where the victims really were people you liked. Summer and Auntie are characters you will be sad to see gone and as you learn more about their lives as the story goes on, you like them even more.

I also loved the Lunch time thief, which adds another layer of mystery to the story and the way it ties in at the end...whooo weee.

This is a book you won't easily put down!

The writing style for this series is absolutely beautiful. When I picked up this book, I was immediately drawn right into the story and felt like I was right there with the characters. The mystery was well-written, and I was shocked at the ending. I also absolutely loved the addition of Greek culture in the story - I love learning about different cultures.

A great read!!!
I volunteered to read this eBook. Thanks to Lyrical Underground
via Net Gallery for the opportunity. My opinion is my own.

A really busy mystery with plenty going on. Excellent characterisation, great setting (which reminded me of Jessica Fletcher's Cabot Cove) and no shortage of suspects equals more than enough to keep the brain ticking over in between reading time!
Redwood Cove sounds like the kind of small town we would all like to be a part of, and this is a very enjoyable read with a satisfying ending. I'll definitely be looking out for the next novel and highly recommend this one to all mystery fans.

I received an arc via Net Galley in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.

This book made me realize that I was missing out on a talented author and series. I am drawn to Kelly for a main sleuth and was charmed by her brilliance. This was a great mystery and the depth of compassion and mourning made me feel as though I was there missing Auntie as well.

Kelly and the Silver Sentinels are back for a third time in this new cozy. They’ve been asked by a local resident to help her locate a couple she hasn’t seen in years. When she is found dead next to the body of a local fortune teller, and then one of their own is attacked, they are determined to find the killer before anyone else is hurt. I love the small town setting in this series, and i felt like we got an even better look into the bed-and-breakfast that Kelly manages in this installment. Her friends, the Silver Sentinels, as they call themselves, are a great group and their distinct personalities work well together.

I couldn’t wait to venture back to The Redwood Cove Bed and Breakfast with Miss Kelly Jackson and the lovable Silver Sentinels. As always, the descriptions in this book were beautiful and I loved being back. And the Silver Sentinels? They just get better and better. Can I have a group of my own Silver Sentinels, please? They are simply adorable and lovable! The plot itself is well written and well developed, and the ending did in fact catch me by surprise! I really enjoyed this plot and as always, the storytelling sucked me in. If you have not read any of the books in this series, seriously, what are you waiting for?

This is a great book; this is the third book in the Kelly Jackson Mystery series written by Janet Finsilver. This is a great book with a wonderful story and well developed characters. This book will keep you reading long into the night. If you are looking for a great book, then you need to read this book. I am looking forward to reading the next book by this great author. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader’s copy of this book. The free book held no determination on my personal review.

Princess Fuzzypants here:
Kelly Jackson and the Silver Sentinels are back and it's a good thing. They have been asked to help facilitate a meeting between the woman who adopted a son long ago and the two birth parents now that the son has medical issues and may need help from a blood relative.. This is going to be a thorny assignment because the son is unaware that he is adopted, There has been no contact since the day of the birth and it is going to throw a major monkey wrench into a lot of people's lives.
It gets even more tangled when the adopted mother and another of the only three other people who knew of the event are found dead. Neither Kelly nor the Sentinals believe it was an accident and when their lives are endangered, it becomes clear they are only too right. But who did it? Is it the obnoxious birth father or a member of his family? Does it have to do with other predictions the fortune teller may have made that upset someone? And why is there still danger now that the secret is out?
This is a good series. The characters are people with whom a reader can enjoy spending time. One could pick this book up and read it without hesitation or go back to the beginning and read the series. Whichever way you do it, I can recommend checking into this resort. I give it four purrs and two paws up.

You can read this as a stand alone novel but you will want to read the previous two books in this bed and breakfast cozy series. The characters are endearing. Very well written, you will flow along with the storyline as danger ebbs in from many different angles.

A secret from the past being revealed is foretold by an unusual Greek fortuneteller.
Sadly, it comes to pass sooner than expected, both for the fortune teller and her assistant.
While the police think it is just a tragic accident, a group of senior citizens who have vowed to protect the community, won't rest until they are sure of the truth.

With a hint of potential romance and a lot of friendly relationship building, this mystery unfolds at an enjoyable pace. We all learn more about the Redwood Cove area and the amazing people who live there. I am looking forward to this series continuing to unfold

Murder at the Fortune Teller’s Table by Janet Finsilver is third book in A Kelly Jackson Mystery series. Kelly Jackson is the manager of the Redwood Cove Bed-and-Breakfast in Redwood Cove, California. Kelly is attending the local school’s annual fundraiser (and get to know your school event). She notices a woman come away from the fortune teller’s booth very upset and leaning on the arm of her son. The woman Amy “Summer” Winter later approaches Kelly and asks for a meeting with the Silver Sentinels. At the meeting, Summer explains that she needs two people found that she has not seen since 1967. Summer is able provides the group with the names, Diane Morgan and Ken Nelsen, but no further usable information (not even why she is looking for them). With a little computer sleuthing, the group is able to give Summer current addresses of Diane and Ken. It turns out that Mark, Summer’s son, is not her biological child. Mark is ill and needs a donor. After Auntie, the Greek fortune teller, saw the evil eye and stated that someone will die, Summer felt the need to urgently contact Mark’s biological parents for assistance. Kelly arranges for Ken Nelsen, his family and Diane to get a free weekend at the B and B courtesy of an anonymous benefactor. Summer does not want them to know it is her until after they arrive. They just have to agree to a meeting with the benefactor. The next day Mary is attacked in her home, and it is blamed on the Lunch Thief that has been plaguing the area. But then Summer and Auntie (the fortune teller) are found dead in Auntie’s home. The Silver Sentinels do not agree with the police ruling on the cause of death and start seeking answers. The killer does not appreciate Kelly’s pursuit of answers and sets out to stop her.

Murder at the Fortune Teller’s Table is an easy to read book that is nicely written. I like the characters, though, I wish there were not so many of them. I do admit that it is hard to keep track of all the various characters. There is Kelly, the Silver Sentinels, the staff of the Redwood Cove Bed and Breakfast, Helen’s son, the dog, plus others (from a sister B&B and townspeople). It was nice to see some growth in Kelly’s character at the end of the novel. I give Murder at the Fortune Teller’s Table 3.5 out of 5 stars. I thought the mystery was interesting, and I do not believe that all readers will be able to identify the perpetrator. I picked out the person I thought was the culprit and then read to see if I was right. The mystery has several suspects and any one of them could easily be the killer. Then there is the mystery of the Lunch Time thief. He only attacks homes during the week at lunch time. I did appreciate how everything was wrapped up in the end. There was one more storyline included in this book that I found captivating. It is how dogs are being trained to help veterans with PTSD. Michael Corrigan, owner of Resorts International, is setting up a facility to help veterans. It is amazing what dogs are capable of with a little training. There is also a dog (a Chihuahua) trained to help a hearing-impaired woman. While Murder at the Fortune Teller’s Table is the third book in the series, it can be read alone. All the necessary background information is provided. Each book in the series is better than the last (I liked this one better than the previous two). I will be reading the next book in A Kelly Jackson Mystery series.

Dollycas’s Thoughts

I have been looking forward to this book since finishing up the last one. This time Kelly and the Silver Sentinels start out tracking down a couple people that were in the area back in the 60’s but when their “client” is found dead along with a local fortune teller they are quickly involved to prove the two woman have been murdered. It puts their sleuthing skills to the test and a couple of them in danger too.

This ensemble cast led but Kelly Jackson, manager of the Redwood Cove B&B, is just fabulous. Their canine companions are icing the cake. Diverse and genuine they all mesh together using their strengths to their advantage to not only solve mysteries but to keep each other safe. I like that they stay in touch and work together with the local police. Their past experience shows they can trust each other and it is a little twist to the normal cozy where the protags investigate without the consent of the authorities. The new characters are very interesting too.

This plot is complicated because there are a lot of suspects and everyone seems to be hiding something. A multitude of twists and a surprising ending had me positively glued to the pages.

Ms. Finsilver adds a touch of romance to this story, is Kelly headed for a new relationship?

I have enjoyed all three stories in this series and I am excited for number four. All can be read on their own but I suggest starting at the beginning.

This was such a funny and cute mystery! Even though I have not read this author previously, I thoroughly enjoyed this story. Quirky characters and a beautiful northern California setting, this was a story that I didn't want to end. I can't wait until the next story.
