Review: Fun Quick Read
Rating: 5 out of 5

This is the 8th book in the series.  The author has chosen to make this series novellas.  All are about 80-90 pages long.  She does a good job with the format giving you the background and character information succinctly and devoting the majority to the story to the story.Darcy is small town bookstore owner who has paranormal powers. Along with her policeman boyfriend she has solved a number of murders in the recent past.  The current installment is no different but we see some rough time ahead for her relationship.  While the author is Australian there is very little to give that away in these books other than the occasional odd turn of phrase.  Like all good cozies you see the action through Darcy's eyes.  These are PG at best for a few situations related to the murders to be solved, but I would have no problem letting a teen read.  Cleanly written both in style and language.You will want to read these in order for maximum enjoyment.  Due to their length the author does not spend a lot of time bringing the reader up to speed. She has a boxed set of the first six for 3.99, though at 99 cents each for the singles you really cant go wrong.  Enjoyable series for the cozy enthusiast.
