A Vintage Death by Mary Ellen Hughes
published by Midnight Ink
This book seems to have everything I would enjoy. An October
Festival full of hanging skeletons and ghosts and a book signing and reading by
an author who writes paranormal stories. A quaint collector’s village with
every type of collectible shop you can imagine…vintage music boxes, a vintage
sewing shop, vintage cookware, a store called “Shake it Up”
filled with vintage
salt and pepper shakers, a bookstore; even a vintage Bed & Breakfast. The
shop names were all so clever it made me want to take a trip there myself.
Except I might not want to come upon dead bodies as people seem to be doing in Keepsake
Cove. Callie, the owner of House of
Melody music boxes (see what I mean? Makes you want to go look doesn’t it?),
needs to help her friend Dorothy who owns Stitches Thru Time. The dead body was
stabbed with a pair of vintage scissors, no less.
The reason I mentioned I wanted to visit Keepsake Cove has
to do with the way Mary Ellen Hughes laid out the scene description. I even
wanted to live in Callie’s cottage. Hughes did just as well with the leading or
main characters. This is just a fun read you want to curl up and sit down for
the day with. It didn’t take me much longer than that to read because I didn’t
want to put it down. It’s sweet and entertaining.
This is Book 2 in a series titled “A Keepsake Cove Mystery”.
There is no question this book couldn’t stand alone as a good read. However, Mary
Ellen Hughes has two or three series and there isn’t a one of them without good
reviews. Better check them out everything out.
