This is the first book I have read by Wendy Tyson. It is also the start of a new Greenhouse Mystery series.

In the book, Megan has returned home to the family farm after a stint as a high powered lawyer. She is there to get back to her roots and to take care of her grandmother, Bibi.

This is the first book this author has written under this name (JP Delaney). I would certainly like to know the author’s other names as I so enjoyed this book, I would certainly seek out and read his/her other works.

The story is an alternating point of view between two youngish women. What they have in common is the unusual modern house that they rent (at different times.) The story is told in tandem of events rather than in time. Each woman’s personality unfolds as the story moves along.

This is the second book in this series. I have read both and found that Marked Masters as an excellent second in series. I liked that the pace picked up, which makes sense as we now have the background on these characters so more writing to given over to action.

The story picks up where the last one left off. I do suggest reading these books in order as there is a cross over of plot lines that makes more sense if you have the background of the first book.

This is the first book I have read by Noreen Wald and it is also the first book in her Jake O’Hara murder mystery series.

In the book, Jake O’Hara is a ghostwriter who is just finishing up her last gig. When she is invited to ghostwrite the next book by the renowned cozy murder mystery writer, she is shocked to find out the author has not written her own books while at the same time happy to be picking up such a lucrative deal.

This is the second book in the A Lady and Lady’s Maid Mystery by Alyssa Maxwell. I have read both books and suggest reading them in order. While there is nothing in this book which works as a spoiler for the first one, there is a growth of the characters that will be enhanced by reading the books in order starting with “Murder Most Malicious”.
