Festive Fonts and Fowl Murder
Just in time for Christmas, the next installment of the Lettering Detective Cozy Mystery Series is here!
When Mila and Critter Girl find a dead man handcuffed to a stump, deep in Chapitoulas Swamp, they’ll need to act wisely to determine who their real friends are. Even though it is Christmas on the bayou, not everyone is in the festive mood this year. From a young idealist who wants to save the swamp; to a corrupt hunting club full of survivalists; to an oil company who is hoping to drain the wetlands of precious oil and gas; and even to Mila’s own boyfriend, Xavier Ordoyn—the two girls are not sure who they can trust.
With the help of a cat named Serif and the bayou’s only floating stationery store, can they solve the mystery in time to be home for Christmas? Find out in this tightly-woven mystery, perfect with a cup of eggnog!This is book three of The Lettering Detective Cozy Mystery Series by renowned lettering artist Lisa Pevey (@nolalettering). It can be read as a standalone novel, and is great for those who love southern charm, quirky best friends, cute cats and stationery crafts!

Enjoyable Series
The first three books of this series are very enjoyable. The characters are likeable, but have some conflicts among themselves. The plots are well thought out and are clever. I would recommend these books to anyone looking for a cozy read.

A humorous cozy mystery series that is set in the Louisiana bayous. This one is book three and it is the best one yet, though all of them are very good. The action in this installment is fast and plentiful with twists you won't believe. The characters and animals will draw you in and keep you there.

This was a fun cozy mystery that left me guessing once again whodunit. With new friendships, new growth in relationships, fun lettering art, and tasty southern treats, I found this book to be another page turner.

I have read the first three books of this cozy mystery series and enjoyed them very much. The characters are likeable, and the stories are well plotted. The stories really give you the flavor of Louisiana. I look forward to continuing the series.

Another fun installment of this series. I'm really enjoying reading them all. In this one, the stakes are higher because Buck's in trouble, which makes it fun. And like all good cozies, it all works out in the end. Yay.

Exciting Reading
Love this series of books. I have never been to Louisiana but I can picture the sight and sounds from Lisa’s expressive writing. And love the food references.

fun
This is a good political era read. When I got too worked up in real life, all I had to do was read a chapter or two to get into another time and place.

I loved this cosy book! I needed a palette cleanser and this was PERFECT for that! I love the characters and their relationships, the banter and the sarcasm
