Country Cousin Mysteries Collection Two

So, another great two book outing for Joey, Hal and Arno. Without giving away any spoilers, they have to find the killer of somebody who was so, universally, disliked the whole town could be suspects, while proving that the obvious suspect is innocent. Then, in the second book, the victim is so completely liked that finding a viable suspect is nigh on impossible. Needless to say, they succeed and give us a great read into the bargain. I was fortunate enough to get hold of an advanced review copy and thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it. Get it, read it, you won't regret it.

I absolutely love this series. It includes dogs pigs cats and murder. And Joey and Hal are wonderful characters too! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

Good, clean romantic mysteries. I was able to read Country Cousin Mysteries Collections One a couple of weeks ago and it was a real treat to be able to read this collection so soon after finishing collection one. Even though these are all stand-alone stories, I enjoyed reading them in chronological order with the Box Collections. It was like binge watching a favorite season of a favorite tv show. Previously, I read Book 5, then Book 6, then Book 4, then Collection One (Books 1&2) and now Collection Two (books 3-5). They are such good reads that I enjoyed reading books 4 & 5 again. I have added them to my 2022 To Be Read List because I really love this series. Some of the stunts that Joey’s animals pull have me laughing out loud while some of the storylines have me shedding a few tears as they pull at my heartstrings. It is rare for me to find such a well-written series that elicits so many emotions while reading. I really enjoy a good, clean, well-told, romantic mystery. There are more than a few red herrings in each of these entertaining whodunits. And the red-herrings all seem to be likely of being the murderer, so I was stumped to name the murderer until the reveal at the end, with more than one of the stories, and that is always fun for me. The romance that is interlaced into the stories is a plus for sure. Hal and Joey are such a cute couple that have each other’s back. There are also other recurring characters in the story that I foresee as becoming romantic duos in the near future. I recommend this box collection to anyone who loves to delve into a good murder mystery with a bit of romance woven into the story. I received a free copy of this box collection from the author via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. This gift did not affect my review of the book. This review is my voluntary and honest opinion.
