Genre – Cozy MysterySeries: A Kelly Jackson Mystery Publisher: Lyrical Underground Fortunes, fineries, and foul play . . . Murder at the Mansion by JANET FINSILVER is the second book in the Kelly Jackson Mystery series. It’s whale-watching season in Redwood Cove, and B&B manager Kelly Jackson’s battening down the hatches for the tourist rush at Redwood Heights—a Victorian-style estate owned by her boss. And due to recent jewelry thefts, her duties include keeping track of the many dust-covered artifacts spread throughout the property.  I enjoyed the first book and was pretty pumped to read the second installment.

Ireland makes for a great book setting, doesn't it? From the rolling hills and haunted gothic castles that radiate romance and evoke magical visions of fair maidens and frightful dungeons to the bustling metropolis of Dublin alive with entertaining cultural pursuits, beautiful architecture and lively pubs. Not surprisingly, one of the most anticipated and beloved parties revolves around Ireland’s national holiday, St. Patrick’s Day. Parades, expressive costumes, street theatre and a lively carnival atmosphere will leave you spellbound.  But if you're like me then perhaps you'd prefer to do your celebrating via the pages of a nice cozy mystery.

Think Paris flea markets, Granny’s teacups, the film Grey Gardens then you'll like this post. Can you help me redecorate?   My answer is always, of course. Can you wait a few years?      Between writing books, blogs, marketing, fitness competition training and being a full-time mom, I can fit it in. No, but really, I love to hear it. It's sweet, and I love that people enjoy my quirky taste. Unfortunately, I can't re-decorate all of my friend's homes, so I will share where I do my shopping. Dun Dun Dun Duhhh... Antique Shops, Second hand stores and believe it or not Pawn Shops and Ontario has plenty. And just in case your wondering what I mean by eclectic vintage flare . It's basically a rich, layered look c...
