The Highland Heist

Title: The Highland Heist

Series: Freddie & Grace Mystery #4

Author: Pepper Basham

Narrator: Pamala Klein

Publisher: Barbour Fiction

Genre: Historical Fiction, Mystery, Christian Fiction,

Source: Hoopla

My Review:

My husband and I listened to The Highland Heist by Pepper Basham on our trip this week. I have read the first three books, but he has not. I think the books are best read in chronological order so that you understand everything mentioned. However, I only had to stop the recording once to explain something to my husband; he got the gist of everything else. I thought the narration was okay.

AuthorMelissa Tagg

Publisher: Lakespur Press

Genre: Christian Fiction,

Genre: Contemporary Romance, Mystery, Christian Fiction,

Source: Library

My Review:

Wedding at Sea by Melissa Tagg is a dramatic conclusion to the series. Happy sigh. I reiterate what I said in my review of A Seaside Wonder: read the books in order! Do not read this book without reading the first two or you will get major spoilers, and you do not want this series spoiled. It is so enchanting.

A Seaside Wonder

Title: A Seaside Wonder

SeriesMuir Harbor #2

AuthorMelissa Tagg

Publisher: Lakespur Press

Genre: Christian Fiction, mystery, Contemporary Romance

Source: Own

My Review:

A Seaside Wonder overlaps just a little bit with Autumn by the Sea, but now it is Indi's perspective. Details the reader didn't even know they needed are revealed, immediately engaging the reader. I highly recommend reading this series in order. You will get huge spoilers by reading it out of order.

Autumn by the Sea is the first book in the Muir Harbor series. The series needs to be read in order as each book builds upon the previous one.

70 North is the final book in the Alaskan Cyber Hunters series by Kimberley Woodhouse. While it could stand alone, reading this series in order is best, as the final mastermind is revealed, and you will miss some of the connections.

As one who does not enjoy cozy mysteries, take my review of A Penny for Your Thoughts with a grain of salt. I keep trying cozy mysteries and hoping for a better result. I did finish this one, so there is that.
