Reviews
Praise for The Mystery Bookshop Series by V.M. Burns “A mystery writer probes the death of a cozy-mystery hater…Her real-life investigation and her fictional puzzle cross-pollinate, offering a novel insight into some of the processes that go into creating cozy mysteries. A contemporary cozy, a historical cozy, and a tutorial on cozies all rolled into one.” —Kirkus Reviews on The Next Deadly Chapter “Fans of this long-running cozy series will find two delightful mysteries in one, contemporary and historical, in the sequel to Murder on Tour.” —Library Journal on The Next Deadly Chapter “This novel, like Burns’s others, wipes the mind clean of anything but pure enjoyment.” —The New York Times on Murder on Tour “Colorful characters and just enough mystery trivia boost the fast-moving plot. Cozy fans are sure to have fun.” —Publishers Weekly on A Tourist’s Guide to Murder “In the ninth in the Mystery Bookshop series by this prolific Black author, the two stories complement each other, and the returning characters are unforgettable.” —Booklist on Murder on Tour “Cozy fans get two mysteries for the price of one: The intuitive heroine finishes her novel and solves a murder.” —Kirkus Reviews on A Tourist’s Guide to Murder “Wed, Read & Dead deliciously delves back into the life of Samantha Washington…This charming page-turner is a must-read for any animal lover who loves a good mystery.” —Modern Dog Magazine “This two-in-one mystery satisfies on so many levels, with this fifth in the series being as fresh and unique as the first.” —Kings River Life Magazine on Bookmarked for Murder “As good as any Jessica Fletcher story could be, Burns has a way with words and her characters are absolutely riveting. There is no doubt this is one series that will continue for a good, long time to come.” —Suspense Magazine on Read Herring Hunt “Readers of Carolyn Hart and Vicki Delany will appreciate the lively seniors, the humor, and the bookstore environment.” —Library Journal, STARRED REVIEW on The Plot is Murder “Adventure and chaos ensue in this fun whodunit.” —Woman’s World Book Club Pick for The Plot is Murder “With plenty of fun and a mystery within a mystery, readers will eat this one up.” —Parkersburg News & Sentinel on The Plot is Murder
