Missing Pieces: 4 Puzzling Cozy Mysteries by Cynthia Hickey, Linda Baten Johnson, Teresa Ives Lilly, and Janice Thompson is a wonderful collection of short stories based on the lives of jigsaw puzzle fans. This book is a fun collection. I really enjoyed the short length of the stories and found them really interesting despite the shortness of the stories. This is the perfect book for a quick weekend getaway. I received a digital copy of this book from the publisher with no obligations. These opinions are entirely my own.

Four great cozy mysteries that are puzzle themed. I enjoyed them very much and it was a great light read.
Many thanks to Barbour Publishing and to NetGalley for providing me with a galley in exchange for my honest opinion.

I don't know about you, but I love doing puzzles. There's something about finding all the pieces and working to solve how it goes together. It's the exact same reason that I enjoy a good cozy mystery as well. When I saw this collection--- 4 cozy mysteries with the common theme of puzzles--- I knew I had to check it out. It id not disappoint.

Each story within the collection is a standalone. You can read them back to back in order, or here and there as you get to them. Either way, it will make no difference at all. They are novellas, written by 4 Christian fiction authors, most of whos work I was already familiar with and enjoyed. Novellas can often time leave me feeling like the story wasn't complete, and that can be particularly true with mysteries. However, I felt like these felt complete despite their shorter length. These are great for reading when you don't have a ton of time to do so, and were just the type of cozy mysteries that I truly enjoy.

If you love puzzles--- be the physical kind or just a good mystery--- this is certainly a collection to check out for yourself.

**I received a complimentary copy for consideration. All thoughts are my own.

2.5/5

I love jigsaw puzzles. So, when I saw the cover of Missing Pieces, I knew I had to read it!! With the exception of Janice Thompson, all the authors are new to me.

Elvis Has Left the Building by Cynthia Hickey

This story was okay. It needed more work, especially at the beginning. One of my biggest pet peeves was one of the characters asked a question, and the person who she asked didn't acknowledge it, the story moved on. It was an incomplete scene. The overall premise was good, but the execution was lacking. There was no time for great character development and the romance between the two characters was off.

★★/5

The Puzzle King by Linda Baten Johnson

I liked that the setting was a puzzle competition and it made me curious if such a thing actually exists. The murderer is obvious, the sheriff is constantly making it known she is up for reelection, and Jane doesn't use the brain God gave her, constantly putting herself alone with murder suspects.

★★/5

A Puzzling Weekend by Teresa Ives Lilly

The premise was a little different from the first two stories, and I appreciated that. This one started with 5 (Kindle) pages of descriptions leading to the location of the mystery, making me bored from the start. I didn't understand why the officers didn't immediately get all the guest's statements, saying they would come back later to do it. I don't think that is the normal order in a real murder.

★★/5

Mystery at the Jigsaw Swap by Janice Thompson

I enjoyed this one. It was well-written. I like Moriah, I appreciated how she was trying to prove herself to her parents since her mother did not approve of her career choice. I think most of us might be able to relate. Moriah was smart when trying to solve the mystery, she didn't put herself in harm's way. I also enjoyed the ending.

★★★/5

Thank you to Net Galley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this book. I was not required to provide a positive review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

★★⋆/5

This book was sent to me by Netgalley electronically for review. Thanks to the publisher also…stories that are fun to read…quick read…likable characters…stories move quickly…enjpy

Overall, this is a fun cozy mystery set. The four novellas are only connected by a common theme: jigsaw puzzles. One could easily read the books in between other longer titles for a fun reading break. Here are my thoughts on all four books.

Elvis Has Left the Building by Cynthia Hickey
I would say this book has the most fun back story with vintage flair that includes an Elvis impersonator. Being able to complete the puzzle that is described sounds fun to me. This one had a few twists and turns. Since Cee Cee happens to know the law enforcement officer, one can possibly predict one part of the story. :-) Rating: 4.7 stars


The Puzzle King by Linda Baten Johnson
Rarely does one read books set in Fargo, North Dakota. I liked that part. I did not see all of the connections coming together in this one. I liked how it involved others who were competing at a puzzle competition as a team. There was a bit of romance, but more of it is implied. Rating: 4.2 stars


A Puzzling Weekend by Teresa Ives Lilly
This book involves a bed and breakfast in Pumpkin City, Pennsylvania. The pumpkin theme was fun. Considering all of the women who attend this jigsaw puzzle convention are connected in the past, determining who might hold a grudge was interesting. This one had a potential romance, but it was not really critical to the plot. Rating: 4.1 stars

Mystery at the Jigsaw Swap by Janice Thompson
This book felt like it had the most developed plot. A giant jigsaw puzzle swap sounds like a fun event - that is until someone was killed. This one was also hard to predict. The faith element was stronger in this one as well as the life lessons. I enjoyed that part of the story. Rating: 4.8 stars

If readers enjoy jigsaw puzzles, they will find something to like in this collection. I would classify it as a mystery with a bit of suspense and only some romance. The puzzles drive the plot.
Final overall rating: 4 stars
I did read a copy of this book through NetGalley. I wanted to review it. All opinions are my own.

This fun collection of short novels is for puzzle lovers! Each short novel involves a puzzle in some fun way. These were light Christian mysteries with clean and lovable characters. And there's a few guest appearances from furry friends and even Elvis!

Elvis Has Left the Building – The Elvis stuff was completely lost on me, but it was a decent mystery. Definitely not the most realistic or accurate, but that’s pretty common with suspense/mystery books. The little bit of romance was okay, rushed, but okay.

The Puzzle King – Hmm. This one was interesting because of the puzzle competitions, but I wasn’t a fan of the mystery. The brand-new sheriff instant pegged that Jane was the murderer just because she gave him a cup of coffee. Then, Jane was constantly alone with the murder suspects. I didn’t care for her personality, really. The whole novella had depressing undertones.

A Puzzling Weekend – This one was pretty good. The ending/result was a little lackluster, but I actually liked the main girl this time and thought the mystery was interesting. Very light romance with the officer, but the Tabi never put herself in danger like the other novellas.

Mystery at the Jigsaw Swap – My favorite of the collection—no shock, I know. ;) I liked how Mariah didn’t put herself in dangerous situations, but still was involved in trying to figure things out. There was good faith content (the most from the four novellas) and I enjoyed it.

Overall, I didn’t enjoy this collection as much as I hoped I would, but the last two were pretty good and I thought it was neat how there could be four different murder mysteries surrounding puzzles.


Link to review:


*BFCG may (Read the review to see) recommend this book by this author. It does not mean I recommend all the books by this author.
*I received this book for free from the Publisher (Barbour Publishing) for this honest review.

I have enjoyed the previous mystery novellas that Barbour has published, but Missing Pieces didn't draw me in as quickly. The four stories are based around the theme of jigsaw puzzles. Mysteries are cozy in nature with each protagonist is a woman who finds herself in a middle of a murder investigation.
The novella collection is a great way to read authors new to you and see if you find a favorite new author. Cynthia Hickey and Janice Thompson have many other full length mysteries and there contributions to this book are enjoyable.
I received a complimentary copy of Missing Pieces through NetGalley, but all opinions are my own.

I liked these cozy mysteries. They're nice novella and share the Jigsaw them. I found them entertaining and compelling.
I had fun and they kept me guessing.
Recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine

Missing Pieces brings together 4 mystery novellas fashioned around the theme of jigsaw puzzles. While writing styles for each was different, the novellas were fast paced and kept the reader guessing. Not only were we tasked at figuring out who done it, we were also invited to learn some things about jigsaw puzzles. I for one love both mysteries and putting together jigsaw puzzles on a quiet night. With all of the different writing styles, I am not sure that I could choose my favorite. I received an advanced copy through Netgalley. A review was not required.

This is a nice, quick read collection of cozy mysteries that all have a jigsaw puzzle theme. I particularly found it interesting to learn about the puzzle world itself. I never thought about the groups, activities, even competitions and sales of jigsaw puzzles as a community in itself.
Each of the stories has a mystery involved which were fun for me to try to solve. I enjoyed the book for a nice evening read. This would be great for a weekend or vacation trip, simply enjoyable.
I received this advanced reader's copy from the publisher and NetGalley. This is my own unsolicited opinion. I would definitely read more by these authors.

This is a good collection of novellas centered around jigsaw puzzles. As is often the case with a collection, I found the quality of the writing and plot structure varied. I felt the first one was kind of silly. Going from place to place to keep from the bad guy seemed kind of dumb. Perhaps, as others have suggested, it was a parody of cozy mysteries. The second story offered a little information in that I did not know about puzzles where the cover picture does not accurately depict the puzzle inside. The cat shown on the cover may be orange when the cat in the puzzle may actually be gray. The third novella was most like the mysteries I enjoy. There is a murder and a person is framed for it. There are a limited number of suspects and there are even a couple of dogs who help solve the mystery. The last story had a weak heroine. She forgets to tell the police information in a timely manner and when she identifies the culprits, I'm not sure I understood at all how she solved the case.

This collection of novellas would be of interest to readers who also enjoy jigsaw puzzles. You'll find out a bit about them, be introduced to four authors, and enjoy solving mysteries at some level.

I received a complimentary egalley of this book from the publisher. My comments are an independent and honest review.

I want to thank all the Authors of this book and I also want to thank the publishers for sending me an ARC copy of this beautiful book. I really do enjoy books like this one.

A collection of four mysteries revolving around puzzle events. This was a light read- great for the summer. I enjoyed reading something different from what I normally would read. Thanks NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.

A fun collection of puzzle themed cozies! I liked the 4 stories in this collection. All held my attention and had some surprises in store as the stories reached their conclusions. This was an enjoyable set of stories and a quick and easy read. Each story is a stand-alone and not connected to the other stories in this collection. Recommended.

I most enjoyed the first (Cynthia Hickey) and last (Janice Thompson) stories in this cozy-mystery collection! Thompson is one of my favorite inspy-fic authors, and if you enjoyed her here/want to read more, I definitely recommend her "Weddings by Bella" series, book 1 being "Fools Rush In."

Both authors' stories were amusing and enjoyable. Frankly, they all were--so let me rephrase. Hickey's and Thompson's stories were the most well written. I found Johnson's and Lilly's to be overly wordy and telling the reader way too many minute details (i.e. step-by-step how the MC opened a door) rather than advancing the story.

The mysteries were all intriguing, and I enjoyed them all being jigsaw-puzzle based. (I was amused to note I'm one of the "scattered" puzzle solvers, starting with edges but totally moving around to different sections, lol.) And the timing was perfect, as I'll be going on vacation soon and will defo be working on some puzzles (maybe even an Alphabet Mystery puzzle) with my dad!

Would I pick up the collection again? Probably not. But it was a fun way to while away a few hours.

I received an eARC of the book from the publisher. All opinions are my own.

This is a wonderful collection of cozy mysteries. All four stories are well written and hold your attention from the first page until the last. This is the perfect book to curl up with after a hard day and forget your troubles for a little while. If you enjoy a good clean cozy mystery that will keep you guessing until the end, you will love this book.
I received a complimentary copy from Barbour Publishing via NetGalley and was not required to write a review. All opinions expressed are my own.

A fast-paced collection of fun mysteries! These all feature some kind of jigsaw puzzle event with an incidental murder, putting the heroines in the center of danger. A small town feel and low on violence, gives them a cozy mystery feel.

The first one by Cynthia Hickey was my favorite, featuring a librarian. It reminded me a little of the Aurora Teagarden character except with humor. All of the tales seem to lean on the quirky side with colorful characters. Some of the stories had spiritual tidbits tucked in, with characters struggling to let go of past mistakes, dealing with loneliness, self-doubt and gossip, and trusting God for the future. Not much romance except a reacquaintance in the first tale, but not an emphasis.
Recommend for readers looking for a fun, quick read.

A fantastic collection of well written cozy mysteries. I thoroughly enjoyed each selection. If you enjoy a good mystery I would recommend Missing Pieces. I received an advance ebook from the publisher and Netgalley and this is my unbiased review.
