Maya Corrigan maintained a constant sense of tension throughout 'Crypt Suzette'. There was tragedy in the death of Val and Granddad's housemate, with plenty of suspects and darkness until the surprising conclusion. I appreciated that Val treated her grandfather with a little more kindness, as there had been more conflict between them in the past. The possibility of romance was a delightful aspect of this latest in A Five-Ingredients Mystery series. I couldn't put it down, and look forward to more.

The main reason I pick up these 𝕙𝕠𝕝𝕚𝕕𝕒𝕪 cozy mysteries is for the 𝖋𝖊𝖘𝖙𝖎𝖛𝖊 holiday theme. 🎃 This one started out 𝓹𝓻𝓸𝓶𝓲𝓼𝓲𝓷𝓰 in that regard, but the 🅗🅐🅛🅛🅞🅦🅔🅔🅝 theme was quickly pushed aside by the muᏒᎠᎬᏒ mᎽsᏆᎬᏒᎽ. 🚗 Which I found super dísαppσíntíng. 😪 However, the 🅼🆈🆂🆃🅴🆁🆈 kept me guessing until the end, and the 𝓬𝓱𝓪𝓻𝓪𝓬𝓽𝓮𝓻𝓼 were likable. 👍 Plus, as a ฿Ø₦Ʉ₴ there are five ψummψ š⊕uηdïηg recipes. 🍴 So a bit of a 🅜🅘🅧🅔🅓 🅑🅐🅖 with this one... 🆗

Val and her grandfather are back at the job of cooking and sleuthing. They have taken in a renter, to help her out in a tough financial situation. Suzette keeps to herself mostly and works at a local hotel. When she is found dead after her morning jog, Val and Grandpa begin to figure out what went on. A break-in at their home and a series of break-ins in the area, cause Grandpa to use his new cameras to catch what is going on. Lots of action in this story and lots of fun as well. This is well written and a fun read. A good addition to this series.

I am a such a sucker for a fun yet slightly chilling cozy mystery. I have honestly never read any of the other books in this series and I don't think it made a difference. Meaning I was able to pick up on the story line and the characters within fairly easily. I enjoyed immersing myself in the world created by Maya and I look forward to reading the previous books in this series.

You're going to want to slip into your cozy sweater and devour this while drinking your pumpkin spiced tea. This is the sixth book in the Five Ingredient Mystery series.
This Halloween themed cozy mystery was fun to read and not gory at all.
I devoured it quickly . Well plotted I was unable to solve the mystery until the very end!
Expected publication: August 27th 2019 by Kensington Publishing Corporation.
I was given a complimentary copy of this book. Thank you.

This is the sixth book in the Five Ingredient Mystery series by Maya Corrigan. Although I hadn't read any of the other books in this series, I had no problem hopping right in and I really enjoyed this book!

Val, a local café owner and local caterer lives with her grandfather. They also have a tenant, Suzette, who lives upstairs. Suzette is quiet and keeps to herself, but seemed to be a little paranoid, following a different route home each day from work. Suzette wins the Halloween costume contest at a new bookstore in town and the next morning is found dead on the side of the road.

Because Val liked Suzette, and police are quick to label this as an unfortunate accident, Val decides to do some investigating of her own. Val interviews Suzette's creative writing group and her co-workers at the local hotel.

I was kept guessing till the end about who the culprit was, I had a few suspects! It was a fun cozy mystery and I look forward to reading the whole series!

Cozy Mystery on the Chesapeake Shore
This book is the sixth in the series and the first that I have read. It stands alone exceptionally well. This is a very good story, but some parts moved a bit slowly. There were several issues in the book that I found to be irritating or offensive. Other than that, it is a good story with a good plot and a wonderful setting. I received this ARC book for free from Net Galley and this is my honest review.

Crypt Suzette 6th book of the series.
I enjoyed this clever Halloween mystery.
Fun read ,loved the characters especially the relationship between Grandpa and Val.
Highly entertaining.
Never guessed who the killer was until the end of the book . That’s what you call a good mystery.
Roll on for the next book.
Thanks to Kensington and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review my thoughts are my own.

Suzette is run over and killed- shocking Val and her grandfather Don who rented her a room. Suzette was a college student who was respectful and quiet, perhaps for a reason. She didn't talk about her past. This happens just as Val is getting ready to cater the opening of a new bookstore in Bayport, an important job for her. Don's been busy with his own interests (he's a ghostbuster among other things) but the two of them launch into their own investigation. AS always in a cozy, there is more to the victim than meets the eye. There's my usual quibble about how this series purports to be set on the Eastern Shore of Maryland but is not at all reflective of the area, but I'll note I keep reading it because I like the characters. Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC. A Halloween themed (sort of) cozy with some nice 5 ingredient recipes!

This was a really fun Halloween-themed cosy mystery which kept me guessing until the end. I loved the setting, especially the bookstore with the black cat and the relationship between Val and her grandfather.

A good mystery. I wasn't sure of the killer until the very last. Val and her grandfather have to investigate the hit and run murder of their renter. Suzette always kept to herself and when she was gone, Val started to find out many things about her. She wasn't the shy and quiet person they thought. When Val comes close to being run down, she knows they need to find the killer soon.

Val Deniston is catering the debut of Bayport's newest bookstore--but the death of a customer is about to draw her into a real-life murder mystery ...

Suzette Cripps has been occupying a spare bedroom at Val's granddad's house while she takes classes in this Maryland Eastern Shore town--but she's always seemed a little secretive and fearful, and any talk about her past is a closed book.

After winning the costume contest at the Halloween-themed bookstore party, Suzette is mowed down by a hit-and-run driver--and Val and her grandfather start to wonder whether it was really an accident or if someone was after Suzette. Granddad is a little distracted by his new enterprise as a ghost-buster, but as Val talks to Suzette's coworkers and fellow creative writing students, she grows more convinced that the dead woman's demons weren't imaginary--and that she needs to rip the mask off a killer ...

This was a good mystery best read around Halloween.

This Halloween-themed cozy is the 6th book in the Five-Ingredient Mystery series but it was the first on of the series that I read. Despite it being my first, I caught on to the characters quickly (which I love) and thoroughly enjoyed it. In fact, so much so, that I've already picked up some of the earlier books.

Very entertaining with a nice plot and characters I'll enjoy reading more about. Highly recommended to cozy fans!!

Val and her Granddad have invited Suzette Cripps to stay in their home while she attends a nearby college. Suzette doesn’t share much about her life before arriving in Bayport, but before Val can befriend Suzette and learn more about her, she is killed. Val and Granddad are convinced that Suzette’s murder has to do with her past. There are a number of viable suspects and it takes Val to discover the secret between Suzette and the killer. Good chaacter relationship, especially between Val and her Granddad and an enjoyable book. I voluntarily read and Advanced Reader Copy of this book.Thank you Netgalley and Kensington Publishers for the opportunity.

What I enjoyed most about this book is the fact that I've only read one other in this series and I didn't feel lost. The story itself is well crafted and I love the characters, especially the relationship between Van and her grandfather. There are a plenty of twists and turns to keep the reader guessing. I'll definitely be reading more in this series. Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read the book and leave an honest review.

I received a copy of this book ifrom Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

I really liked this mystery. The characters were fun and the mystery itself had enough hints to get you going in the right direction.

I'm really glad i read this one and will definitely be checking out the rest in the series.

Every once in a while you need a good, cozy mystery, preferably one with a holiday theme. This fits that description perfectly. Interesting characters, great locale and food too! What more could you ask for? Or yes, there is a murder to solve.

Enjoy!

This book that takes place around the holiday of Halloween was a great riveting read. The plot was well written and kept me on my toes. The characters were ones I would love to visit again and again. I didn't know who the killer was for most of the book.

I received a free advance review copy of this book and am voluntarily providing my honest review. I loved this book and totally recommend it.

Crypt Suzette by Maya Corrigan is a great Halloween/Autumn themed cozy mystery that is the 6th installment of A Five-Ingredient Mystery series.

This is my first entry of this series, but I enjoyed the characters as if I had been part of the family all along. I love the character duo of Val and her Grandfather. Both are likable characters, realistic, and have a great complimentary relationship.
I love anything Halloween themed, and this did not disappoint.
I enjoyed the murder/mystery plot as well. I now plan to read the previous installments and look forward to further additional reads as well.

5/5 stars

Thank you NetGalley and Kensington for this ARC and in return I am submitting my unbiased and voluntary review and opinion.
