Sleep in Heavenly Pizza by Mindy Quigley - 5 stars!

Pizza chef Delilah O’Leary and her kitty companion, Butterball, get into the holiday spirit as Geneva Bay, Wisconsin hosts the nation’s premier snow sculpting championship. The annual event transforms the resort town into a wonderland of snow castles, ice rinks, and cozy cups of cocoa. On the eve of the festival though, a Chrismukkah catering gig brings some frosty tidings and heralds a visit from Delilah’s older sister. When a missing party guest’s frozen corpse turns up inside one of the town's snowy sculptures, murder threatens to put the celebrations, and Delilah’s crew, on ice for good.

This was a great addition to a wonderful cozy mystery series. I love how Delilah has grown as an amateur sleuth, And Biz is hysterical, and lightens the heavy scenes gratefully. The side characters are enjoyable to read about. Honestly the culprit was one of my suspects, and I was surprised when I was right because usually, I'm not. The plot was engaging, and the setting put me in the holiday spirit. Thanks to NetGalley and St Martin's Press for this advanced reader's copy. This review is my honest opinion.

 

Murder at a Cape Bookstore by Maddie Day - 5 stars!

Bicycle shop owner Mackenzie "Mac" Almeida has a few concerns about the Spring equinox event organized by the new Chamber of Commerce director, Wagner Lavoie. After all, March weather is unpredictable. Still, there's plenty to enjoy, until Wagner is found dead in the Book Nook, pinned beneath a toppled bookshelf. It's an irresistible case for Mac's book group. She and the rest of the Cozy Capers will have to use all their sleuthing skills to bring the killer's story to an end.
This was a very good cozy mystery that challenged me in figuring out whodunit. But I was surprised by the big reveal in the end. Mac is a very likable amateur sleuth, and I loved reading about her adventures. The plot was very entertaining with just enough red herrings to keep me guessing. I will definitely read another book from this series. Thanks to Netgalley and Kensington Publishing for this advanced reader's copy. This review is my unbiased opinion.
