About the Book:

A quaint riverside town holds many secrets … and the only ones who’ve seen it all are the critters.

This book club dives (literally!) into the pages of a cozy mystery. The quirky group must solve the mystery to get out of the book. It’s so much fun – you’ll wish you had a book club like this!

In this journey, they choose a book set in a lovely riverside town. They land in a charming neighborhood and find they are part of a local book club. They are having a great time – and then a dead body shows up. (Of course it does!)

The clues to what happened come to them in a unique way – via the critters in the house.

As usual, the club finds plenty of time to enjoy the unique setting of their journey, as they solve the mystery – one critter at a time.

My Review:

Are you a reader who enjoys books about books AND needs a delightful escape from the real world? This is the perfect series to grab. Each entry can be read as a standalone so join at any time.

The series features a magical cozy mystery book club and when the group chooses a book, they are transported into the book and the mystery comes to life! (This reminds me so much of the Pages & Co. middle grade series by Anna James – which everyone should also check out!)

I think this is such a creative premise for a series, and the descriptions of the characters and settings in this latest one are just as magical and fun as previous entries. The writing pulled me in right away and I soon forgot I was sitting in my midwestern living room, wishing for the rain to stop.

This one did feel just a bit long in the middle, but honestly I never put it down because I enjoy the setting and characters so much.

I so wish I could join a bookclub like this!

About the Author:

Elizabeth writes well-loved cozy mysteries in two series: The Destiny Falls Mystery & Magic book series and the Magical Mystery Book Club series.

Elizabeth lives in the Pacific Northwest and Arizona, two very different places. Both are rich, gorgeous, natural places, and inspire the settings in many of her books.
