The Boy Who Cried Bear by Kelley Armstrong is the second novel in the Haven’s Rock mystery series. Set in a remote, secret village in the Yukon, Detective Casey Duncan and her husband, Sheriff Eric Dalton, have their hands full when a young boy goes missing and reports of an irregular bear led them to suspect foul play. A gripping tale perfect for a cold winter’s day.
Lies are Forever by C. Jean Downer is the first in the Sloane West Mystery series. Ex-New York City cop turned private investigator Sloane West appreciates a fine glass of whiskey. What she doesn’t appreciate is learning her mother has left her a house, but before she can ask questions, the solicitor ends up dead. The story that unfolds opens her to a world she didn’t know existed. But the real question is, who wants her dead?
The Bright Spot by Jill Shalvis is another standalone romance in the Sunrise Cove series. Come to Apple Ridge Farm, where Luna Wright’s world is turned upside down when the owner dies and wills the farm to her and Jameson Hayes. Goats, friendships and unexpected romance await you in this delightful tale.
Christmas at the Shelter Inn by RaeAnne Thayne offered a sweet holiday story with a dash of romance, family and sweet holiday moments nestled in the small-town of Shelter Springs. The old Shelter Inn hotel has been turned into a retirement community. You’ll want to grab a cup of hot cocoa and curl up with this delightful tale.
Despite being the fifth novel in the Mystic Inn series, Stephanie Damore’s Midnight at the Mystic Inn didn’t prevent me from enjoying the holiday festivities and the mystery in Silverlake.
