Journal Entry 1 by cheesygiraffe from Florence, Alabama USA on Thursday, April 10, 2008
No Foolin' Sweepstakes from terrafreaky From Publishers Weekly The serenity of Tinker's Cove, Maine, is shattered when an arsonist creates havoc and sends amateur sleuth Lucy Stone, introduced in [Mistletoe Murder], on her [third] adventure. After several historic buildings are damaged or destroyed by fire, the stakes escalate when the body of socialite Monica Mayes is found inside the charred wreckage of her summer home. Lucy, mother of four, including new baby Zoe, casts a suspicious eye on Roland Mayes, Monica's unfaithful husband, and decides to do a little investigating of her own. Lucy's husband, Bill, a restoration carpenter, has reluctantly joined the local historic commission, which has recently denied the plans submitted by unsavory Randy Lenk to remodel his gas station. Another suspicious fire coincides with Halloween trickery and leads to a red hot finale. Although the plot is thin, the charming setting and likable cast, including crotchety old Miss Tilley, former librarian and head of the historic council, and Lucy herself, juggling motherhood and murder, make for enjoyable reading.

Cute cozy mystery. One that doesn't have to be read in order. I like this series because the characters are nice but they aren't awesome though. I'll say I didn't see who the arsonist was till it was revealed. Lots of red herrings in this one.

Thanks for the book, Cheesy girl! I just picked up the first Lucy mystery the other day, and I'm reading it now. I know these don't HAVE to be read in order, but I'm weird that way and will have to. So this will be read soon. :) Happy Holidays!
