Mysteries， Midsummer Sun and Murders is a collection of 21 summer-themed cozy mysteries。Planning for Murder - 4 starsI enjoyed this story。 I used to live in North Dakota so Uff Da and Canadian Quarters brought back fond memories。 This is a good start to new series。 I can’t wait to see how Thea adjusts to her new life。 As I read other stories， I will update my review。I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving an honest review。

I thoroughly enjoyed reading the first story in Ellen Jacobson’s new series。 Thea Olson is a great character and I really love the buffalo。 He deserves to be featured in all the stories。 When Thea visits her hometown of Why， North Dakota， she doesn’t realize she’s gonna end up sleuthing out a murderer to clear her cousin Freya’s name。 I really enjoyed this prequel and I’m looking forward to the first full length story。 This review is for Ellen Jacobson's novella， Planning for Murder。 I thoroughly enjoyed reading the first story in Ellen Jacobson’s new series。 Thea Olson is a great character and I really love the buffalo。 He deserves to be featured in all the stories。 When Thea visits her hometown of Why， North Dakota， she doesn’t realize she’s gonna end up sleuthing out a murderer to clear her cousin Freya’s name。 I really enjoyed this prequel and I’m looking forward to the first full length story。 This review is for Ellen Jacobson's novella， Planning for Murder。 。。。more

I love Wendy Meadows so first off if you haven't read her then go get all her books。 This book is about Vera who was tired of city life and moved to a farm that she bought in the country。 I love animals and when I found out Vera had a mini pig I was so excited。 When Vera decides to take some fresh food to her neighbors Sam and Becca then Vera gets more than she bargained for when she finds one of them dead。 I love Wendy Meadows so first off if you haven't read her then go get all her books。 This book is about Vera who was tired of city life and moved to a farm that she bought in the country。 I love animals and when I found out Vera had a mini pig I was so excited。 When Vera decides to take some fresh food to her neighbors Sam and Becca then Vera gets more than she bargained for when she finds one of them dead。 。。。more
