Summary: Lucy Stone stories are very entertaining
Review: I just recently discovered Leslie Meier's books, and I am tickled-pink with my discovery. The entire series is fun. Just the right mixture of suspense, drama, and comedy. If you are a mom, this series is a must read. I can't tell you how many times I have seem myself in her books. Just recently I have been rushing around trying to get my daughter's asthma release form signed so she can have her asthma inhaler at school(without this form, they probably would kick her out or arrest her if she carries her inhaler with her). In one of her books, Lucy is dealing with the same issue(my daughter shared her inhaler at a roller-rink and saved the day...Lucy's daughter had the same thing happen in school!). If you are a new reader to the series, I would suggest starting from the beginning(although it certainly isn't necessary). I loved following the antics of her children as they have aged(my husband is convinced her stories are based on our family!), along with the locals and how her relationship with them developed. My hope is that Lucy will live a long and happy life, so I can enjoy her books for a long, long time. Leslie Meier has me hooked!

Summary: A Tinker Cove Christmas
Review: It's only ten days before Christmas, and Tinker Cove resident Lucy Stone has more than enough to do before the holiday. But during her evening break from work at County Cousins, the mail-order store headquartered in town, she discovers a snow-covered car running in the company parking lot, which turns out to contain the body of the company president Sam Miller. Being somewhat of an amateur sleuth herself, Lucy tries to find out who murdered Mr. Miller.
I was a little disappointed in the mystery aspect of this story, because the reader is not really privy to many clues to the murder. It seems that the solution just pops out of thin air! I love the character of Lucy Stone, though, and her cozy town of Tinker Cove. The holiday traditions in the story, including a community cookie exchange, are just right to get the reader in the Christmas spirit! Author Meier has created a believable town and likable protagonist. I would recommend this book more as a cozy seasonal story, with just a touch of mystery in it.

Summary: The "mystery" is, where is the mystery?
Review: Lucy Stone is completely busy with the holidays. From baking cookies to knitting sweaters. If you name it, she's doing it. But her holiday preparations come to a halt when she finds Sam Miller, the founder of the mail-order company Country Cousins dead in his car. The police are calling it a suicide, but Lucy knows that that's not the case. Now she's got to find the killer before she's the next one dead. This was my first and favorite Lucy Stone Mystery. This book will get you hooked on the series before you can say Merry Christmas.

Summary: Mistletoe Murder
Review: This is a quick read, but I doubt that I will ever pick up this author again. The cover is much more interesting than the story inside, which is as flat as a soda without its fizz. Don't waste your time with this one.

Summary: A Great Holiday Mystery!
Review: This is the first Lucy Stone mystery and in my opinion, one of the best. Who cares if the title was changed? As a mystery reader, when I find a series I like, I want to read ALL the books in that series, especially the first one. Obviously the previous publisher didn't know what they were doing, otherwise the book still would have been in print. This is a really good mystery, with a great cover and title. If you like good mysteries, happen to be a fan of Leslie Meier and Lucy Stone, AND you HAVE TO start a myster series from the first book, do yourself a favor and buy this book today!

Summary: The "mystery" is, where is the mystery?
Review: This isn't a mystery...this is a compendium of shopping notes, cookies, children's problems, antiques, etc....and, oh yes, someone gets murdered at the beginning of the book...and the killer is discovered at the end...with very little pertinent detecting in between. One good thing about misteltoe....I can kiss this "author" goodbye!
