Lately I've been collecting several cozy mystery e-books which I've got free from Google Playbook. They are usually the first book in a series, given free for tester, no doubt. I was skeptical at first – if the book is good, why offers it for free? But in the meantime, I have read two books with the same case: The Bookshop Murder and ChefMaurice and a Spot of Truffle, and they were both very nice. So, there’s no harm in reading more, is there? From several interesting titles on my shelf, this is my pick:
The New Teacher (The Sheridan
County Mysteries #1) by Erin Lark Maples
Summary from Goodreads:
"Elizabeth Blau upended her life in the city to move to the Middle of Nowhere and start over. She reconnects with her estranged brother and begins her new life. First, Elizabeth lands a great job, then a date, and her luck seems to change for the better. But when the man’s body is found mangled in a ravine, the murder rocks the small town as fault descends upon the Blau Family.
Frustrated with the pace of local law enforcement, Elizabeth investigates loose threads among the ranchers. But when she starts to dig into the past, she gets a warning: folks don’t like outsiders poking around, and someone is on a mission to scare her out of town."
It sounds like ordinary cozy mystery, but from several reviews on Google Playbook, I gathered that it is a fully entertaining book with a lot of actions. Quite promising, eh?
Have you read this book? Is it worth it?
Looks like fun. Like you I was sceptical about free books too, but enjoyed the Chef Maurice books very much. The Flora Steele ones, I read via NetGalley so those were technically not 'free' even if they were :D
ReplyDeleteLet's see if this one would turn out as fun as we think.. ;)
