What a relief it is to be able to laugh these days and bestselling, award-winning author Jess Lourey gives it to us in spades – pardon the gardening pun – in August Moon, part of her Murder by Month series. It has just the right amount of rom, plenty of com, and lots of mystery throughout the novel.
Librarian/reporter Mira James and her colorful cast of friends and foes make for a fun romp of a mystery in Battle Lake, Minnesota where the summers are hot, the residents we meet lean toward the eccentric and where dead bodies have been turning up every month since Mira arrived.
I highly recommend August Moon for cozy mystery and humorous mystery fans. In fact, I loved it so much I’ve already purchased the latest installment of the series, April Fools. I received my copy of August Moon, courtesy of the author.
