Okay - so definitely cozy mysteries that can be read in one sitting - but that doesn't detract from any reading pleasure. The setting is picturesque, the characters quirky and at times fallible, the mysteries engaging, the heroine likeable, and some scenes humourous.

What I enjoyed was the story telling, the authenticity of characters, the wonderful settings, the community of characters, and how each story seamlessly followed on from the one previous.

Jerusha herself says of her characters: " It’s my goal that you will never think the main characters make bad decisions—that you would’ve made the same decisions in the circumstances." And of her view of law enforcement officers portrayed in cosy mysteriues: " Incompetent law enforcement officers is the trope common in the cozy mystery genre that I dislike the most." - and I agree with her there!

This is a great series - and I intend to revisit the earlier books again before tracking down number seven.

Very enjoyable mystery series. I have enjoyed each and every book so far. I really enjoy the museum “theme”.

This was another great addition to an enjoyable series.

Meredith and Pete get married, but that isn't why Platts Landing is on fire. Instead there are the seasonal forest fires burning and someone intentionally setting fires. And, honestly, I was surprised they jumped so quickly to a wedding after the engagement at the end of the previous book. From not even having regular dates, they are now married. But, similar to their crazy inconsistent dating, their honeymoon has to wait: the Imogene is getting fixed up and a big shipment of expensive artifacts are on their way. The museum gets more than it was expecting when the shipment includes some illegal items and brings about more attention than the quiet little museum could ever want. A whole lot of things happen in this book and makes me wonder where the series is going from here!
