Three Really Good Mysteries & Great Fully Developed Characters
As someone who cut her eye teeth on Agatha Christies' mystery books, this new series, The Carlyle & Silver Cozy Mysteries are a wonder. It's rare that I get so wrapped up in a story & in this case, 3, as was able to get the boxset. It contains the first 3 books of the series so that's 3 books for one KU pick. KU books & authors can be hit or miss; this was definitely a hit. Book 1 introduces the main characters & their personalities & back stories unfold through the 3 books. Book 1 was more of a spy mystery, not normally my cup of tea (all set in Great Britain, so tea fits), but it kept me guessing & reading which clearly shows it as well written. The next 2 books were more traditional murder mysteries, fascinating though. There are hints of more to come about Mr Silver's past & Laura's husband's death so I'm on to book 4!
