Molly Grey Cozy Mystery Collection: 6 Book Box Set
**BIG BOXSET OF CHRISTIAN COZIES** Who in Calmhaven does not know Molly Gertrude Grey, the gentle ageing owner of the Cozy Bridal Agency? But Molly and her enthusiastic assistant, Dora Brightside, have more talents than just matchmaking. They are amateur sleuths with a nose for a great mystery!If you like light, clean, Cozy Mysteries with a cat-loving sleuth, quirky characters, and unexpected surprises you will love this bumper bargain collection of Christian cozy mysteries. This super sleuthing collection includes six full stories from the Molly Grey archives...Wedding Cake Wipe OutWhen poor Abe Mortimer, the town Mayor, keels over during the wedding reception of his dear daughter, Miss Molly is certain it’s no accident. Seedy characters on the scene, old ghosts from a shady past, and a grasping son-in-law with ulterior motives, lead Molly into the crosshairs of Calmhaven’s most frightening conspiracy. The clues pile up, but the culprit remains at large! Will Molly and her assistant Dora be able to solve the case before Abe Mortimer ends up in the mortuary?The Bridal Dress DisasterMichelle and Brian seem to be the perfect match until an unexpected break-in leaves them reeling and thrown headlong into a mystery. Who would target a couple’s happiness only days before they tie the knot? Obstructive friends, competitive dressmakers, broken windows and broken promises. Can Molly and her assistant, Dora, uncover the culprit and save the big day?A Fishy Murder Most FoulWhen wealthy tycoon, Albert Gravel, lifeless and blue-faced on the floor after eating The Crystal Grill Restaurant’s fish special, Molly sniffs something fishy at play. Followed by an eager reporter looking for a scoop, the Gravel case quickly uncovers Calmhaven’s dark underbelly! Sheriff JJ Barnes sees it as a cut-and-dry case – the owner of the Grill had plenty reason to want Gravel out of his way. Molly thinks otherwise, and together with her enthusiastic assistant Dora, is determined to get to the bottom of this decidedly smelly case. Can she do so before an innocent man goes to jail?The Mystery of the Missing BrideBernard Bloomsteyn, the wealthy owner of Greenacre Manor, the most prestigious mansion of Calmhaven, is about to say his vows to Deborah Smythe, a lonely widow of means. But not all that glitters is gold, and not all who decide to tie the knot are as sincere as they claim to be. Several days before the wedding Deborah Smythe, the lovely bride goes missing, and nobody knows what happened to her. Did Deborah get a dose cold feet or run because of some unknown fear? Is there a more sinister reason for her disappearance?Missing Cash and the Corpse in a CabinMolly has earned a reputation for her work as an amateur sleuth, but are you familiar how Miss Molly Gertrude's adventures began?On the fateful day that Molly Gertrude arrived in Calmhaven, it appeared that the benevolent philanthropist Samuel Given slipped and hit his head. I convinced sheriff JJ Barnes it is merely an accident and wants to close the case, but Molly Gertrude isn’t so sure and begins her own investigation. Molly Gertrude herself tells how she solved the mystery and became one of Calmhaven's most celebrated figures…The Dead Man’s Stolen BookPastor Julian, the faithful shepherd of the flock, fears that a terrible storm is brewing, as traveling evangelist Sharlan Tan makes Calmhaven his next target for his message of peace and prosperity. What happened to that valuable, antique, first edition of John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress handed to Julian by his dying friend? The book is gone, just as Sharlan Tan arrives in town.

Fun set of cleverly written stories!
My favorite of this collection is the last book. The plots are sometimes outrageous & hardly believable but that's one of the fun things about them. In the last book, there were a few characters whose names made me laugh out loud! There's the false prophet Sharlan Tan (charlatan), the museum curator, Hierro Glyphen (hieroglyph), & Burt Jungle (Bo Jangles) who danced after being pretend " healed" by the false prophet/healer. There may be more even in the other books, but these were hilarious!

I gave this series only 4 stars because it was very wordy and hard to read. The story line was a good one, I just think it could have been said in a lot shorter terms. If you can wade thru the verbiage, it has a definite message. I don't usually read religious books, but I made an exception in this case and I am very glad I did.

Great set, Not all mysteries include murder
This set of six books is well worth reading. They are all enjoyable and interesting mysteries that are not always easy to figure out. They are not all murder mysteries either, but you don't need a death to have an intriguing mystery to solve. I enjoyed all six of these great books.

The storylines show promise, but there are so many issues.
Lots of homophone confusion, the usual "to/too" and "there/ their" issues with a sprinkling of "break/brake" and "led/lead" just for fun.
The author really needs to check a dictionary. Murder is most certainly not a misdemeanor. That's just weird. A ruse is a trick, a con, a deceit. It is not an argument. A "price-fighter" I'm guessing would be an avid coupon shopper, not someone with muscles. Why does a person without a speech impediment suddenly start lisping? Maybe she meant to whisper?
A personal pet peeve: There is NO WAITING PERIOD to report a person missing, especially not 48 hours!
Maybe the stories are just in a poor order, but the longevity of the business bounces all over. 25 years, but it was handed down through several generations? No, 11 years because that's when Dora started working for her? Oh no wait, it's 10 years, but it was still inherited and she ran it in Pittsburgh first, but didn't employ Dora there. And she's always in her 80's, so the bounce from 25 to 10 makes no sense whatsoever.
The further I read the more preachy the books became. I don't mind a little, but the last story was over the top.

Delightful series of clean mysteries
As soon as the reader is introduces to the main characters in this series, we learn how an 80 year old woman can solve the most puzzling mystery. There isn't a crime her intuition and attention to detail can't solve, even when the police in her town is stumped. I thoroughly enjoyed reading every story in this series.

Faith
Faith can be found all sorts of ways. A child has faith in their parents, our most hardest of faiths is in our religion. If we truly believe and have faith miracles happen every day. When a charlatan comes to town and tries to dwindle people of their money and faith someone has to stop him. That is just one story in the Molly Grey series. A must read!!

All 6 are a great!
The development of the characters in the first one leaves you wanting another. Luckily there were 6! Molly,Dora,Digby Papa Julian and let's not for the Sheriff,JJ-- all were great in their roles in the plot. I can't wait to see more!

easy to read mysteries
The stories in each one keeps your interest. I love Miss Molly and Dora. It could use a little more proofreading. An average reader may not notice, but I proofread a lot of books and can’t help it.

So much fun.
I can't remember when I have had so much fun reading a mystery story. From the fun names to the twisting plot. Great reading. Thank you for the fun.

Excellent read
I've been griping for awhile about crude unnecessary language and sex exploits that add nothing to a book except words. The Molly Grey novels will leaving you feeling good and your jaws hurting from laughing and smiling so much. The novels were a pleasure to read. Thank for your wit and wisdom.

Hilarious, fun and inspiring
Absolutely loved this box set but book #6 was my favorite. All of the books shared God which is what I loved, mixed in with the humor. Book #6 showed the forgiving and reconciliation Spirit of God. I could feel His presence so strongly. I cried when they cried and rejoiced at the end when God moved by His mighty power.

These books keep you looking forward to the next adventure of Ms. Grey. She is an likable, believable character. The series not only entertain but the character's faith helps to strengthen your own by her example.
