Book Description:

When Maud McIntyre and her lady’s maid Daisy travel into the Scottish Highlands, the last thing they expect to find is a body on the train… Will these keen amateur sleuths stop a murderer in his tracks?

Edinburgh, 1911: When Maud McIntyre receives a letter from a maid called Rose, sharing her suspicions that something strange is happening in the house where she works, she and her assistant Daisy immediately travel to the Highlands to investigate.

But as they are changing trains, the body of a man falls from the carriage right in front of them, a bullet in his head. Maud and Daisy can’t believe it – they’ve waited ages for a new case, and now one has literally landed in front of them! And when the local police rule the death as a tragic accident, the pair have no choice but to investigate what they believe is a murder…

Arriving in the Scottish village, Maud and Daisy go undercover to begin their hunt for the murderer, while also investigating the strange behaviour of Rose’s employer, a local art dealer. As they begin to piece together the chain of events, Maud and Daisy wonder whether the cases might be linked. Is it possible the man on the train was killed to cover up something in the village? And, if so, who would do such a thing?

When a local artist is found murdered, Maud and Daisy become convinced the two cases are connected. Searching for the link between the deaths, will Maud and Daisy solve the case before another mysterious murder takes place?

A page-turning historical whodunnit, perfect for fans of the mysteries of Helena Dixon, Verity Bright, T.E. Kinsey and Catherine Coles.

My review:

I am positively enchanted by this series!

In this installment, Maud and Daisy are contacted by a maid who works for an art dealer. She fears the gallery is dealing in forged art and engages the agency’s services. They travel to the village of Braemar to investigate, and on the way, Maud literally has a man’s dead body drop into her lap.

They don’t intend to get involved in the murder investigation. But as they dig into the possible forgeries, there’s another murder, this time of the artist who may have been creating the fake works of art. Maud and Daisy realize that all three crimes may be interconnected.

I just love the relationship between Maud and Daisy! They aren’t superior and servant, they’re friends. And I like Maud, but Daisy seems like someone I would really enjoy hanging out with. I also appreciate the way Travers incorporates Daisy’s accent into the story. It isn’t written in such a way that it’s distracting to read, but it does help me “hear” it in my head. I had to look up a couple of the words she used, and “sweetiewife” may have just added itself to my vocabulary.

The mystery wasn’t extremely convoluted, and as I read through the story, the big reveal of the murderer’s identity wasn’t a tremendous surprise. The village of Braemar is small, and the cast of suspects was limited. But the reveal itself was clever, and it’s fun to see our lady detectives learn and work to improve their skills. I certainly don’t think I’d have the pluck to set myself out as a private investigator!

The hints of potential romance between Maud and Lord Hamish Urquhart are a treat, too. Maud really twists herself in knots trying to avoid admitting even an inkling of feelings for him, while he’s much clearer about his feelings for her. I hope we see more developments between them in future books.

And I loved the detail about Maud learning to work out with Indian clubs! My husband uses them to strengthen his arms and shoulders. I’m glad to know Maud won’t be a shrinking violet if she finds herself in a sticky situation. Maybe Daisy should quit poking fun at Maud over them and try them herself.

Kudos to Lydia Travers for an engaging series. Hopefully one day I’ll get to see Scotland for myself. Until then, I’ll live vicariously through our lady detectives.

Thanks to Bookouture and NetGalley for a review copy. All opinions here are mine, and I don’t say nice things about books I don’t actually like.

Book Review: Hard Dough Homicide by Olivia Matthews

  • Title: Hard Dough Homicide
  • Series: Spice Isle Bakery Mysteries #2
  • Author: Olivia Matthews
  • Where to buy: Amazon (affiliate link)
  • Genre: Cozy Mystery
  • Publication date: May 23, 2023
  • Would I recommend: Definitely! The characters, the setting, the mystery all combine to make this a tasty treat of a book!

Synopsis:

Someone in Brooklyn’s Little Caribbean neighborhood has an appetite for murder in Olivia Matthews’ Hard Dough Homicide .

Spice Isle Bakery owner Lyndsay Murray is always looking for new ways to grow her family’s business. But she already regrets agreeing to host the retirement dinner for local high school principal Emily Smith. The tyrant used to be her mother’s boss and they did not get along. Six guests arrive for the celebration, but only five survive. Emily starts convulsing―right after eating the curry chicken―and dies soon after. It’s not long before the police are knocking on Spice Isle’s door, bringing the Murray family back into the heart of another murder investigation―driving away customers in the process. Lyndsay can’t help but wonder if this is the end of the bakery, even though it’s just begun. She must put aside her reservations about investigating another crime, because the Murrays refuse to go down without a fight.

My review:

Happy book birthday to Olivia Matthews!

Lyndsay Murray is fresh off solving a murder, at no small risk to herself. She’s ready to get back into the groove with her business, Spice Isle Bakery. She and other family members – her parents, her granny – are working hard to build their customer base. But when her mother’s former boss, principal Emily Smith, wants the bakery to host her retirement dinner, Lyndsay is prepared to tell her not no, but HAIL, no. To her surprise, her mother – whose relationship with Emily was tense, to put it mildly – is in favor of the bakery hosting the dinner.

There were only five other guests at the dinner. When Emily has convulsions shortly after the dinner began, they all appear to be shocked. Given their acrimonious past, the detectives on the case quickly zero in on Cendella (“Mommy” to Lyndsay) as a person of interest – and apparently their only suspect. And since Emily collapsed shortly after starting her meal, the presumption is that the food was somehow tainted and perhaps the bakery is to blame. Lyndsay realizes she’s going to have to get involved and do some investigating of her own, to save both her mother and the bakery.

This is my first venture into the world of Spice Isle Bakery, but it won’t be the last. I absolutely loved this book! Olivia Matthews creates a space that’s warm and inviting, like you would expect a bakery to be. I’ll own to having pretty much zero knowledge of Grenadian culture – Caribbean culture at all, I should say – but now I want to learn more.

The characters are fantastic. I loved the lovable ones and disliked the detestable ones. Turns out Emily Smith was a real piece of work, and she was mean to everybody, not just Cendella. Like, REALLY mean. But who had she upset so much that they wanted to kill her just when she was about to retire and be out of their hair?

I loved how the family pitched in with the bakery, with investigating, with everything. They pulled together to support each other and work through challenging times. I also liked that their faith was a visible part of the story without being the least bit preachy. And I was delighted by the fact that, after an initial shock, their faithful customers not only came back, but stood up for them when a local festival tried to remove the bakery as a vendor. That made me cheer!

The mystery was intricate enough to keep me guessing, and I really liked the method the killer used. It was one I’ve never seen in a book before. (Tiny spoiler: the food wasn’t poisoned! But y’all probably figured that out already.) There are little sparks of romance between Lyndsay and one of the detectives (he was her high school crush), but she’s determined not to give him the time of day as long as he seems determined to cast her mother in the role of a murder suspect. I’m curious to see where things go with them in future books!

And just for that final kiss of perfection, the book has recipes. Y’all know I love a book with recipes. I see hard dough bread and coconut drops in my future.

Hard Dough Homicide is a warm hug of a book that almost perfectly captures what I look for in a cozy mystery. (A bookstore or library is my preferred setting, but a bakery is a close second!) I’m eagerly anticipating more adventures with Lyndsay and her family!

Thanks to St. Martin’s Press and NetGalley for an advance review copy. All opinions here are mine, and I don’t say nice things about books I don’t actually like.

Word of the Week: May 22, 2023

Word of the Week: a bookish meme hosted here on Mondays in which we share a word that we find entertaining, enlightening, edifying, or just plain fun to say! Share your own word on your blog, then help me grow the meme and come share it here on mine!

This week’s word was one that popped out at me from Tara Lazar’s list of 500+ fun, cool, and interesting words. So I thought I’d share!

Of course this immediately made me think of Aladdin.

Such a fun movie!

Historically, a nawāb was a provincial governor in the Mogul Empire of India. Nabob is the English version of the word, and it was used (sometimes sarcastically) to describe someone of great wealth and prominence in the 18th century.

In the United States today, we have more than our share of the nattering nabobs of negativism.

Spiro Agnew, speech in San Diego, California, Sep. 11, 1970

What’s your Word of the Week? Add it to the linky, then share the meme!

Book Beginnings on Friday and Book Blogger Hop: May 19, 2023

Book Beginnings on Fridays is hosted each week by Rose City Reader. It’s a chance to share the first sentence or so of the book you are reading this week. You can check out others’ book beginnings here. I’ll share a quote from the 56 percent mark for the Friday 56 hosted by Freda’s Voice! I’m also going to link up with Carrie at Reading Is My Superpower for First Line Friday.

This week’s book beginning:

Synopsis:

The fiery festivities of the Symphony’s annual Fourth of July extravaganza feature cannons, liberty bells, and fireworks. But the noise covers gunshots that leave a shifty Board member dead and Emily Wilson’s friend, KC, the prime suspect. Can Emily face down blackmail, danger, and a threat to her loyal companion to find the killer?

Thursday, July 4, 2013, 9:00 P.M.
City Park, Monroe, Colorado

I couldn’t hear the sound of my flute over the massive, suspended carillon bells ringing madly, and the eight cannon from the nearby military base firing continuous volleys.

“You notice Paul has not arrested anybody. He has no fingerprints and hasn’t proved that you and Steve had more opportunity than 99,998 other people. All he has are some photos and a cockamamie theory. He has to have more probable cause than that.”

What do you think? Is Fireworks on the Fourth going to make your TBR list? If you like cozy mysteries, I recommend the series. My review of this one will be up soonish.

Top Ten Tuesday: Things that Keep Me from Reading

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish and is now hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl. Check out upcoming Top Ten themes on Jana’s blog and go here to see what others have on their Top Ten Tuesday lists!

This week’s theme is things that keep me from reading. These are the other things that occupy my day – some fun, some maybe not so much!

  • Work. Top of the list is my day job. How many times have I said that work just interferes with my reading time? LOL Of course, the family is fond of food and of having a roof over our heads, so hi ho, hi ho, it’s off to work I go. (And since I’ve changed jobs, I like my work a lot better these days!)
  • Proofreading and editing. Okay, it’s reading, too, but it isn’t just reading for fun. This is my side hustle, and once again, I do enjoy it. That’s like candy to me, not work!
  • Feeding the family. Cooking, baking, menu planning, all that good stuff. I enjoy cooking. It’s fun to feed my people. But it’s tough to read a book when you’re preparing a meal. (Don’t start with audiobooks. I’ve tried. I can’t. I don’t like having headphones cutting me off from what’s going on around me.)
  • Exercise. I don’t do it often enough, and I’m working on doing it more often.
  • Learning to play the Celtic harp. This is a new addition to the list. I’ve had a 12-string Celtic harp for YEARS. My husband has threatened more than once to sell it. This is the year I learn to play. First I’ve got to get it tuned, though.
  • Church. I love our church community, and we’ve always got something going! Whether it’s Sunday service, Wednesday Bible study, a community outreach event, a ladies’ fellowship, or just time spent with friends, this is always a good reason to miss out on reading time.
  • Cleaning. Sometimes the mess just has to get tidied up, y’all. I’m working from home now, so I see the mess much more often. This is the summer of decluttering.
  • Hanging out with my family. Sometimes we watch random YouTube videos. Sometimes we go see a movie. Sometimes we run errands. Whatever we do and wherever we go, we bring the fun! They’re my favorite people.
  • Blogging. Yep, this right here! When I’m writing, I’m not reading.
  • Sleep. As much as I’d love to stay up and read “just one more chapter,” every now and then I’ve got to get a little shut-eye.

What about you? What things keep you from your appointed reading time? Share in a comment!

Book Review: The Long March Home by Marcus Brotherton and Tosca Lee

  • Title: The Long March Home
  • Author: Marcus Brotherton and Tosca Lee
  • Where to buy: Amazon (affiliate link)
  • Genre: Christian Fiction, Historical Fiction
  • Would I recommend: Yes. This is a compelling work of historical fiction about a part of World War II I wasn’t terribly well versed on.

Synopsis:

Jimmy Propfield joined the army for two reasons: to get out of Mobile, Alabama, with his best friends Hank and Billy and to forget his high school sweetheart, Claire.

Life in the Philippines seems like paradise–until the morning of December 8, 1941, when news comes from Manila: the Japanese have bombed Pearl Harbor. Within hours, the teenage friends are plunged into war as Japanese warplanes attack Luzon, beginning a battle for control of the Pacific Theater that will culminate with a last stand on the Bataan Peninsula and end with the largest surrender of American troops in history.

What follows will become known as one of the worst atrocities in modern warfare: the Bataan Death March. With no hope of rescue, the three friends vow to make it back home together. But the ordeal is only the beginning of their nearly four-year fight to survive.

Inspired by true stories, The Long March Home is a gripping coming-of-age tale of friendship, sacrifice, and the power of unrelenting hope.

My review:

I’ve read a fair bit of World War II fiction. It’s usually set somewhere like Germany, France, maybe England, occasionally someplace unfamiliar like the Channel Islands (unfamiliar to me, anyway). Before The Long March Home, I’d never read World War II fiction set in the Philippines.

Jimmy Propfield grew up loving Claire Crockett, before he even knew what love was. She was his best friend, and his circle expanded to include her younger brother Billy, and later Hank Wright. As Jimmy grew older, he realized that maybe he really could envision a future with her. But life intervened – the weight of parental expectations, the thought of living in his hometown of Mobile for always – and he broke things off with Claire. Then, when unspeakable tragedy occurs, Jimmy, his best friend Hank, and Claire’s younger brother Billy all enlist in the army, without even saying goodbye.

At first, their tour of duty in the Philippines seems almost like paradise. The island where they’re stationed is lush and beautiful, and a good time is easy to come by. But when the Japanese attack following the bombing of Pearl Harbor, paradise rapidly becomes a nightmare. Japan’s occupation of the country is unrelenting, and prisoners of war are treated brutally. Jimmy, Hank, and Billy find themselves compelled, along with thousands of other American and Filipino soldiers, to march from one camp to another. The march, later known as the Bataan Death March, was about 65 miles of hard going in tropical conditions. The solders had little to no food and inadequate medical care. Those who couldn’t keep up were killed where they stood.

Brotherton and Lee have clearly done their research. The Philippines were pretty much left hung out to dry, with no military support and no supplies, but they held on as long as they could and then some. There are times Jimmy isn’t sure he can keep his promise that all three of them will make it home alive, and the descriptions of the struggles he and his friends endure can sometimes make for difficult reading. The book never strays into painting a more lurid picture for shock value, though. The events portrayed are integral to the story.

When Jimmy is describing what they went through, a superior officer basically tells him he’s making stuff up and if he keeps at it, he’ll be court-martialed. The superior officer simply could not believe that anyone could survive the things he’s hearing about because they were so very awful. I understand that this book is based on real events. After this fictional account, I’m interested to read some of the sources the authors recommend.

I’ve seen some comments out there questioning why this was published by Revell, a Christian publisher, when it describes clearly un-Christian behavior during war. Drinking, swearing, chasing women. I’ll agree, it is not typical Christian fiction (if there is such a thing). It isn’t sweet and pure and gentle. But it is good, and faith is a clear part of the story. Jimmy wrestles with his pastor father’s assumption that Jimmy will follow him into the pastorate – how many Christians have wrestled with God about a call to ministry? And in the throes of war, he sometimes seems to lose faith in God entirely. Would I lose my faith, even momentarily, in such dire straits? I hope I’m never in such a situation to find out. I would also argue that even the most Christlike of us might show our worst when war is raging around us. We as Christians aren’t perfect on our best days, and in our humanness, we can lose it when times get tough.

Even in unimaginably difficult circumstances, hope is not lost. There is still kindness and concern for a fellow man. Hank puts himself at great risk to help others. Billy is willing to sacrifice himself to allow his friends to take an unexpected chance to escape. “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it” (John 1:5 NIV).

If you’re a fan of historical fiction, or simply a fan of a very well told story, with characters written with great depth that you can cheer for, hurt for, and cry for, pick up The Long March Home. It’s one of those powerful, deeply moving stories that will stay with you long after you’ve turned the final page.

July 8, 1941
Dear Jimmy,
You left without a single word. How could you, James Pierce Propfield?

“Claire wants to stay. And I – I ain’t sure I wanna go to seminary. Or even live in Mobile.” It was the closest I could come to saying I didn’t want either of those things without fear that she’d tell Daddy or that I might hurt her feelings.

My thoughts:

The Long March Home is an amazing work of historical fiction. It’s a coming of age story, a World War II story, and it is phenomenal. These two snippets may not seem to do it justice, but believe me when I say this is one I’ll recommend to everyone.

Full review coming soon for Revell Reads.
