This was a strong sequel in the Miranda Abbott Mystery series, it had everything that I enjoyed from the first book and thought it continued this story perfectly. The characters had that feel that I was looking for and enjoyed how they worked with this universe. It had that writing style that I enjoyed from Ian Ferguson and Will Ferguson.

Thanks NetGalley and Harlequin Trade for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. I really enjoyed the first book in this series, and I was excited to read the second. It did not disappoint. While there are lots of characters in here, there are also lots of twists. I didn’t know where things were going at the end, and I did not figure out the solution despite some great clues. Plus, I enjoyed the humour and the relationships in this book. A perfect cozy mystery when you’re in the mood for one. Check this book out when it’s released tomorrow.

This was book two which I didn’t know so I read book one then got to this. I liked the mystery part of these books I liked seeing where it was all going to go. I’m new to this genre and I’m so happy I found it. I will definitely be buying this book when it comes out.

Miranda Abbott is back! Of course, she doesn’t think she ever went away. Now the star of the once semi popular series Pastor Fran (hallowed be her fists…) has been asked to be in an MOW (movie of the week if you wondered) starring Harry Tomlin, the “Nicest Man in America.” However, filming is paused after the Nicest Man in the America falls from a window and crashes dead onto a table meant for a press conference. Miranda wants this case solved quickly so the movie can be recast and filming can continue. She gives Police Chief Ned Buckley some unwanted (but perhaps needed) help while deciding to finalize her divorce from bookstore owner Edgar.

Mystery in the Title is the second in this quirky, funny series but can be read as a standalone. Miranda and the great characters from I Only Read Murder are back. Chief Ned and the salmon, Bea of Bea’s B&B, Edgar who can’t make up his mind and agent Marty Sharpe. They are joined by others, the aptly named Tony “The Nose” Olio, reporter Jane Bannister, producer Alan Zabic, Poe Regal ( pronounced ReeGall) and the entire MOW production team.
Authors Ian Ferguson and Will Ferguson have delivered a hard to solve mystery that is full of laughs. I can’t wait to see what Miranda does next!

Thank you to NetGalley, Harlequin Trade Publishing, Ian Ferguson and Will Ferguson for this ARC.

📖📖 Book Review 📖📖 I will start with the honest admission that I did not read the first novel in this series, I Only Read Murder, but will happily go back and enjoy it now! I had no trouble jumping right in because Miranda Abbott, an actress looking to make her big comeback, absolutely steals this show! She is hilariously endearing and her witty repertoire is delightful. Accompanying her on her wild adventures is Andrew, with a solid head on his shoulders and a perfect balance to Miranda’s quirky nature. Miranda’s big return to the screen quickly turns into what can only be deemed a comedy of errors amidst the murder of her co-star. Seriously, the absurd humor in this book is absolute perfection! After finishing this book, I was actually grateful to have the first one to go back and read and enjoy more time with Miranda!
