It was fun being back on Mooseamuck Island with Claire and Dom. I'm disappointed that Ms. Dobbs has not written any more in this series as these cozy mysteries are entertaining with likable characters, a beautiful setting and enough twists in the plot to keep me reading.

This was a quick, easy read and a fun story that started with an old body being discovered. I always enjoy mixing old and new crimes. I was definitely along for the ride on this and feel like I should have had a better idea of who done it. The characters are okay and I do like the Maine island setting.

I liked the Mooseamuck Island setting for this cozy and the bits about the treasure hunting. The main characters, Dom and Claire are great. They are quite the dynamic duo. The mystery kept me guessing, though I did pick up on a clue towards the end, that pointed me to the killer. This is a fun read!

Kindle Unlimited, Leighann Dobbs writes under Leighann Dobbs, Annie Dobbs and (soon) L.A. Dobbs but her real name {not sure if she writes under that one} is Lee Dobbins, Hazel Martin Mysteries only one I found for this type with her, she has not made sure that terms used match the British terms as well as in other areas for that period of architecture and assorted styles.
The Notch Cozy Mystery Series {5 out as of this writing} and the Blackbore Sisters Cozy Mysteries are not on Kindle Unlimited which as said before about 1 & 7 {the only ones given free, sure would not have bought them} and ditto for Ghostly Paws which is 1 of 5 at this time but did get others free over time.
While some of her other books are Kindle Unlimited none of the Blackmoore Sisters Cozy Mysteries are which doesn't matter to me as read #1 and #7 and was way underwhelmed. Leighann Dobbs writes under Leighann Dobbs, Annie Dobbs and (soon) L.A. Dobbs but her real name {not sure if she writes under that one} is Lee Dobbins, Hazel Martin Mysteries only one I found for this type with her, she has not made sure that terms used match the British terms as well as in other areas for that period of architecture and assorted styles. By the way, bakeries and other food service places don't run like that. Badly needs to proof things, it's messing up the flow of the book, which my computer reads to me, so that's bad. As for these, it's not that the situations couldn't happen, it's in the telling of the story, with unlikable unbelievable characters and situations, again.
Yet another goodreads won't hide it don't want to see the badly proofed badly plotted poor excuse for bad soft core porn crap. The 'historical' ones are like that and so are the some of the non cozy mysteries and some of the sorta but not really mysteries because can't write, etc ad nauseum. The most any of them got was 2 changed to 1 for crap cozy, some get a 1 which means basically crappy soft porn 'romance' etc.
3 in Silver Hollow Paranormal Cozy Mystery Series so far which are on kindle unlimited, 3 in the Moosamuck Island Mysteries , 5 in the Mystic Notch Cozy Mysteries so far {not ku}, Blackmore Sisters has 7 {not ku}, Hazel Martin Mysteries only has 1 so far, Lexy Baker Cozy Mystery series 12 so far is on ku. Others.including Scandals and Spies Book series so far 4 which are basically romance soft core porn dreck but hey you can get them on ku. Witches of Hawthorne Grove 1 so far,Cevonne Bride of Oklahoma, Unexpected Series 4 so far ku.
The Lexy Baker Cozy Mystery Series By the way, bakeries and other food service places don't run like that. Badly needs to proof things, it's messing up the flow of the book, which my computer reads to me, so that's bad. As for these, it's not that the situations couldn't happen, it's in the telling of the story, with unlikable unbelievable characters and situations, again.
Copy/paste fill in the blank seems to be pretty much what she is doing in her books, which wouldn't be half as bad if the plots and ploys and actions were believable at all.Just change the name for a book and maybe change the series list under, and you are right back to copy paste same old same old.
NOTE: I specifically mentioned certain of the 'books'/series were achieving soft core crap status, and specifically said which ones those were, reference AGAIN the above quoted review, and did not specifically mention the blackmore ones as that, BUT and had not mentioned that had went back and rated all no talent no plot cardboard charactered 'stories' listed above as 1 as well. I will change the original review to reflect that, but it is still a 1, and MY review of the crap stands.

This book was a little slow to start but then it started moving much faster and kept my interest to the end. The characters interact so well together and the descriptions of the scenery adds a great umph to the book. The story line was a great one. My one problem is that both the Chief of Police and the detective both come begging for help from now two civillians. Seems a stretch.

I read all three of the Moosamuck Island stories that are out to date, and as usual, Leighann Dobbs delivered a good set of stories with characters I like and that develop over the course of the series, but not to the degree that you can't just pick one up and dig in without having read the others. You wouldn't be lost without having read the other two if you picked up the third. It is nice to see the ongoing character development, but she also skillfully allows a reader to come in in the middle of the series and become a fan as well. This set of stories give retired ladies like me hope that something besides rocking chairs and knitting needles awaits me after this pandemic is over!!!

A treasure hunting club, a murder among friends, and a skeleton buried in a treasuse chest. 60 years later the chest is dug up and the skeleton proves to be murder. It's up to Clair and Dom to put differences aside to determine if the murderer is still alive, and willing to murder once again to keep his secrets. Or if a new murder is unrelated.
A good story with a few laughs, some twist, and a very old non-cold case.

What can I say? I love love love this series the only downside is where is book number 4? Claire and Dom are fantastic together love the way they think, they complement each other perfectly, working together hoping that in the next book they are working officially for the police. Just going to leave this here and wait not so patiently for the next murder investigation🙂

This is the 3rd in the series and it was so good. Claire and Dom unite to once again find the murderer that roams on Mooseamuck Island. They kept me going right up to the end. I was so sure I knew who did it and I was wrong and didn't know it until the end. I can't wait to rad more of their adventures.

Dead lost treasure.
The small village quaintness of Mooseamuck Island is being taken over by the decision to build a big store pharmacy, that is until a treasure chest is unearthed that contains something more sinister than 1000 year old jewelry. Claire and Dom once again take on the challenge of finding out the truth and knocking heads with the local law.

In this book we learn more history of Mooseamuck Island and meet more characters. I like the treasure hunting and guessing who the owner of the treasure might be. Another quick read. Sad it was the last in the series.

Love this series
Love Leighann Dobbs. Always a 5🌟 read. Mooseamuck Island, a peaceful island to retire to except when murder raises its ugly head. Even a 60 year old murder is no match for Dom and Claire.

Really? Soooo good!!
Another good one! You can figure out who done it but not before Claire and Dom . Each book in this series keeps you reading till you get to the end!! The wrap-ups are thorough; the story entertaining and engaging. Enjoy!!!

Who was the murderer?
I chose a 5 rating for many reasons - interesting characters, island village, story line that kept my interest, and the murder suspect evolved over time. A fun read.

Very cute cozy mystery. Quick read with very likable characters. I was convinced I knew who the killer was, but I was completely wrong.

This was a good fast read with no gore or strong language. I think the main characters and will probably read more if their mysteries.
