A Five Star Review

Five reasons I'm giving Five Stars to:

The Little Library Mystery series

by Elizabeth Kane Buzzelli:

1. The Plot: Jenny's husband turned out

to be a major disappointment. She returns 

to the small town in Michigan where she

grew up and her mother, Dora, still lives.

There is an interesting neighbor with a

potential to be a new best friend, and an

interesting man with a potential to be

a new romance. And there are bodies.

2. The Protagonist: Jenny is not your typical

plucky heroine. And these books 

are not a one-woman effort. There is a whole

cast of characters working to solve the murders.

3. The Coziness: The books have a

small town setting with all the

expected charm and quirky characters.

It is not, however, all fluffiness and light.

The protagonists are more fleshed out

and murder is a bad, sad thing.

4. The Literary References: The first 

book is a tribute to Lewis Carroll,

the second has Emily Dickinson

references, and the third... Jane Austen.

5. The Little Libraries: The town has no 

proper library and Dora has a nice idea.
