The Painted Lobster Murders by Millie Ravensworth

Not You Monty!

The Painted Lobster Murders by Millie Ravensworth is the second book in the delightful contemporary A Cosy Craft Mystery series. It can be read as a stand-alone but I recommend reading book one first for maximum enjoyment.

We rejoin Izzy and Penny as they continue to run their grandmother’s craft shop. They are a delightful pairing who work well together. They are wonderful sparring partners as well as amateur sleuths. They come up with innovative ways to make money in the craft shop, as well as getting into a few scrapes along the way.

Throughout there are repetitive ideas and catch phrases which adds to the reader’s enjoyment. Who can forget the masks they gave away at a ten year olds party and the repercussions! Also Monty the dog – a catch phrase developed around him, as he adopted the pair.

Once more there are murders to solve and a vintage car show to attend.

I absolutely loved this cosy crime offering from Millie Ravensworth which would make a wonderful afternoon television series.

I received a free copy from Rachel’s Random Resources for a blog tour. A favourable review was not required. All opinions are my own.
