The Rose and Crown (The Cozy Cat Bookstore Mysteries Book 2)
Description:
Bookstore owner Lucy Patterson is living her best life. She has a job she loves, the man of her dreams, and a beautiful old Victorian house that holds some fascinating family secrets. Ready to enjoy a peaceful weekend being pampered at a glamping campground in the Redwoods, she snuggles in under a canopy of twinkling lights for a comfortable night’s sleep. Before the sun can pierce the early morning fog, a scream rips Lucy from her pleasant dreams.
The charming coastal town of Seaview is home to a centuries-old mystery. Along with her Coast Guard captain boyfriend Mark Fellows, and seasoned (not old!) café owner Miss Hattie, Lucy must shine a light on the past to save the future.
Reader's Review:
A second installment in the cozy mystery novel about a young woman who temporarily inherits her grandparents’ bookstore in a small town on the Northern California coast. The young woman, along with her friends and her grandparents help to flush out the mystery of the bookstore and its very full past. Along with that, they have to solve a few murders. The ‘regulars’ are included in this story to help keep the coziness that’s sought after in these types of stories. The best description I could give this story is the tried and true, cozy mystery novel. They’ve even got a bookstore cat. It’s definitely a bookstore I’d like to find.I think most readers will enjoy the book. Caveat: Certainly, one needs to read the first book before this one.
