When a local bluegrass musician disappears and a jug of her shop’s corn liquor is implicated, moonshiner Hattie Hayes must stop further trouble from brewing in this delightful cozy mystery series.

It’s August in Chattanooga, Tennessee and moonshiner Hattie Hayes has collaborated with a nearby vineyard to serve her moonshine at a Wine and ‘Shine event. Not only is this an opportunity for Hattie to gain more moonshine fans, but she’s also excited to hear the Bootlegging Brothers, a popular bluegrass band. But not every attendee is looking for harmony. When one of the brothers disappears and is presumed dead, Hattie realizes her grace note gathering has suddenly turned more sour than her mash.

Unearthing what happened to the missing musician is more difficult than Hattie first expected. Hattie’s moonshine is tied to the crime and there’s no time to fiddle around—she has to step up to solve the case. Luckily, Hattie’s cool head and quick mind help her understand that when investigating a musical crime, always stay sharp.

Dollycas’s Thoughts

Moonshiner Hattie Hayes and her granddaddy are taking their new mobile moonshine trailer and heading to the Hamilton County Bluegrass Festival ready to hear some great music and “to sell lots of ‘shine”. The Bootlegging Brothers are the highlighted band. Brothers Brody, Josh, and Garth Sheridan play fiddles, the jug, stovepipe, washboard, spoons, jaw harp, and harmonica. A little scuffle leads to Garth’s jug shattering. Hattie quickly comes to the rescue with a now empty Granddaddy’s Ole-Timey Corn Liquor jug. After the concert Hattie has a proposition for the brothers – she wants them to come up with a jingle that will play on the local radio station. That worked out so well that the brothers invited her out to hear them play at the River Pearl Winery, but Hattie had an even better idea. She contacted the owners of the winery and suggested a Wine and ‘Shine event and they agreed to give it a try. Hattie was excited to share her shine and hopefully gain a bunch of new customers.

The  Wine and ‘Shine was a big success but one of the Bootlegging Brothers has gone missing. His Jeep is missing too. Maybe he took off over a disagreement with the others. No, his body is finally found and Granddaddy’s moonshine is part of the crime scene. Fiddlesticks there is no time to waste. Hattie needs to fiddle out who killed the fiddler and why or losing her Moonshine Shack is again a possibility.

In this third and final book in the Southern Homebrew Mystery Series, Hattie Hayes again has her hands full. With the previous murders behind her business is starting to thrive and she is trying different things to bring her family’s moonshine to the masses of Tennessee. With ads on the radio and her mobile moonshine trailer, she is excited about the future. I love how her granddaddy is an important part of her life and that they spend time together every day. He even brought his friends from the Singing River Retirement Home to the Wine and ‘Shine event. I enjoy that Hattie’s boyfriend Officer Marlon Landers helped her investigate. Homicide Detective Candance Ace was unhappy that they were investigating but she trusted Hattie’s insights and instincts. Friends Kiki and Kate are around to help Hattie in any way they can. New employee Nora seems to be working out well. Charlotte, Marlon’s horse, and Hattie’s cat Smokey always touch my heart.

I appreciate the time Ms. Kelly takes to craft new and interesting characters for this series. In Fiddling with Fate she introduces a new character in Shirley Byrd, an elderly woman who lives in the family home near the winery. The house looks like it could collapse any minute. Hattie notices her sitting on her porch with an old dog near her feet and a long-barrelled shotgun standing ready beside her every time she visits the winery. This character was a wonderful addition to the cast.

While Hattie and her friends followed clues and sought out answers this murder case felt more personal to Hattie and she pushed and took some surprising risks. She did overhear things and had some keen observations that helped find the body and moved the case along but pinning down the guilty party was tough for everyone including this reader. When all the clues snapped into place Hattie had to think fast and oh my What A Chase!

As I have said Hattie and her granddaddy are very close. She does something so fantastic and endearing for him in this book. I felt his wonderful reaction jump out of the pages.

Fiddling with Fate is a well-written and plotted cozy mystery with unique characters and a very twisty mystery. I adore the moonshine theme and learning more and more about it.  Sadly we won’t witness where “the currents of life” will take Hattie, her granddaddy, and their friends but I was happy to be along for the ride for the three books in this series.

Lydia Barnes has to thread the needle in order to discover the killer locked in with her amidst a sewing retreat in this second installment of the series, perfect for fans of Amanda Flower and Molly MacRae.

Lydia Barnes has made the picturesque town of Peridot, Georgia her home. But as the new owner of the Measure Twice fabric store, all financial burdens fall on her. In an effort to unspool herself from this tangle of thread and boost the store’s income, she invites her regular customers to a sewing retreat at her friend Fran’s Cherry Log mountain home. In between sewing lessons and quick lunches, a severe winter storm approaches. When Fran’s body is discovered murder is the only explanation, and the remaining six attendants are all suspects.

Trapped with the power and phone lines out, Lydia is restless to unmask Fran’s murderer. With the help of Auden, the cabin’s caretaker, Lydia must unravel the hidden lives of people she considered close neighbors and even friends–especially when another body is found along with a suicide note and a suspicious confession.

In a daring plan to uncover the killer, Lydia must risk it all, including her life, before she is cut asunder and the bobbin runs out.

Dollycas’s Thoughts

The new owner of Measure Twice Fabric Store, Lydia Barnes is searching for a way to keep the store in the black. She decides a sewing retreat may be the answer. She runs her idea by the former owner and friend Fran who loves the idea. She offers her Cherry Log mountain home as the destination for the retreat and her assistance in any way Lydia needs. Soon a group of the store’s regular customers embark on a journey into the mountains for sewing lessons, projects, quick meals, fellowship, and fun. But then an extreme winter ice storm moves in. Fran’s friend and the cabin’s caretaker Auden arrives just in time to unclog a drain but stays too long getting them ready for the storm and is stranded with the sewists.

Then Fran is found dead . . . murdered . . . and her guests realize they are stuck in the mountains with no power, no phone lines, and a killer. Before Lydia, assisted by Auden can rip apart the seams to identify the killer another body is found, and while the death looks like suicide complete with a confession Lydia isn’t buying it. She comes up with a plan but it could backfire. Can Lydia solve the mystery? or has she sewn her last stitch?

As a former sewing enthusiast, an accident in 2001 took this joy away from me, I live a little vicariously through characters in books like this.

I wasn’t a fan of Lydia in the first book in this series, Seams Deadly, but I liked her better in this story. I loved Fran in the first book and it hurt that she was the first victim in this one. She had been like a fairy godmother to Lydia. But she had been facing battles and keeping secrets this time. She also made a costly decision. Characters we met in Seams Deadly return as participants in the retreat, Heather who works at the store, Clark a prickly man who owns Pampered Pantry, an organic food store, The M’s, Martha and Mary, they aren’t sisters but sure act like they are, and Cynde, a court stenographer, who lives above the fabric store brought her friend Amy as a plus one. They are an eclectic group. Lydia’s dog Charlie also attended the retreat. Her cat, Baby Lobster stayed with her neighbor.

Auden Williams was a great addition to the cast. He is smart, prepared, and easy on the eyes. He had a soft spot for Fran and became her confidant as she spent a lot of time on her own at her Cherry Log Mountain home.

The project for the retreat was a quilt coat that could be made from a secondhand quilt, a worn in places quilt you love, purchased quilted fabric, or fabric you quilt yourself. The edges were completed with a bias binding. The retreat guests also worked on English Paper Piecing projects.

This closed-room cozy mystery was well-plotted with a little repetition as Lydia tried to figure out who was killing people on her very first and probably very last sewing retreat. Fran did leave some clues that finally made other things that were happening make sense. She wasn’t 100% sure and I appreciated that she shared her thinking with Auden and was happy that he got on board with her plan.  The guilty party was at the top of my suspect list before everything fell into place for Lydia. It felt good to know I made the right choice for the right reason when all was explained.

We have ice storms in Wisconsin just like the mountains in Georgia that the author described so well. They are beautiful to look at while staying warm inside but they can be treacherous if you venture out. Charlie was the only one to do that and his trips were quick.

Quilty as Charged was an enjoyable read. It gave the characters we met in the first installment more depth. The location was perfect for a retreat and each scene was detailed well. I am looking forward to the next book in the series, especially with the little cliffhanger Ms. Bailey had left us.

Humbug! leads to Homicide! in the new Grilled Cheese Mystery by Linda Reilly . . .

Christmas in the close-knit community of Balsam Dell promises to be especially festive for Carly Hale this year when a prominent theater company comes to town to stage A Christmas Carol. But it turns out that Scrooge is not the most ill-tempered character in the production, as blowhard actor Prescott Lennon proves when he begins berating everyone else in the cast for their poor theatrics. When his arrogant behavior threatens the production, someone decides to resolve matters with a fatal solution—and frames Carly’s friend Gina for the murder.

With such an unlikable victim, Carly finds herself faced with a long list of suspects, including a grieving widow who hasn’t shed a tear, an ambitious understudy looking for his big break, and all the cast members Lennon mistreated. But there’s a ghost of a clue in the air as rumors begin to surface that the dead man had a shady past that may have come back to haunt him. With her friend still on the hook, Carly will have to sort out past misdeeds from those of the present, even as her pursuit of the killer scares the dickens out of her . . .

Dollycas’s Thoughts

A theater company will be performing A Christmas Carol at the Flinthead Opera House in Balsam Dell this holiday season. Prescott Lennon appears to have been cast for the wrong part, instead of Marley, he should be playing Scooge although the man is even worse than Scrooge. He rebukes nearly every member of the cast and crew and basically everyone he meets. He must have pushed somebody too far because the man was found dead in his dressing room. Sadly the evidence points to Carly’s friend Gina as the killer but Carly knows she is being set up. With a theater full of suspects Carly has plenty of people to grill. Then she learns that it may be someone from the victim’s past that did him in. Carly is going to hold everyone’s feet to the fire to prove Gina’s innocence but she may die trying.

I really enjoy the characters Ms. Reilly has created for this series, they feel like old friends. Carly has a huge heart and loves serving up grilled cheese to the masses.  Ari and Carly are getting their new home all decked out for the holiday but aren’t getting too much wedding planning done. Hopefully, after the holidays, they will start to firm things up. Carly is surrounded by a great staff who are also friends. Her former assistant manager and new grill cook, Valerie recently married the chief of police, Fred Holloway. Her new assistant manager Nina is getting comfortable in her new job.  Server Suzanne, the proud mom of nine-year-old Josh, rounds out the crew and isn’t afraid to throw her two cents in on any topic.  Carly’s BFF Gina was in hot water after being cast as a caroler in the A Christmas Carol production but her stationary store has a huge order of invitations for a “fancy-schmancy” New Year’s Eve party to keep her busy and her boyfriend Zach to lean on. Carly’s sister Norah even lent a hand in Carly’s investigation. A big treat in this story was that former grill cook and friend Grant was home for the holidays and asked to work and he was definitely needed. All the characters feel true to life and grow in realistic ways.

The “magnificent” Flinthead Opera House had been a dilapidated farmhouse when Nate Carpenter’s family undertook its huge renovation. It is an interesting location for a murder with its massive and confusing layout of rooms, hallways, the stage, and many exits. How did the killer do what they did and get away unseen? Did they blend in? or did they sneak out in the chaos? Carly did her best to follow each clue and get answers to her questions. Her observation skills are excellent but putting what she has seen into context took a bit. Eatery regular and publisher of the town’s free paper, Don Frasco is always a good source for information. A piece of evidence by Norah moved the case along but it didn’t reveal the murderer. That came later and both Carly and I were surprised. Nicely plotted Ms. Reilly.

As always the offerings at the Grilled Cheese Eatery make my mouth water. This time there was an unusual sandwich that was very fitting for the Christmas season. In Scrooge’s Redemption Nina has found the perfect way to use a typically scorned Christmas classic and transformed it into something so yummy. Grant shows off what he is learning in culinary school too with some festive appetizers. Recipes for both are included at the end of the book.

You Feta Watch Out, which I think should be followed by You Cheddar Not Cry, was a wonderfully entertaining Christmas cozy that I just had to squeeze in before moving on to non-holiday reads. Everything about it is cozy, from the small town of Balsam Dell to the close-knit cast of characters and the mystery that will make you think. It is all entangled with enough Christmas spirit to get you into the holiday mood whether you read it in December or July. I am very excited for this series to continue.
