Lots of book stuff this week! I mean books are always fun right? So here's my review for Kristen Painter's latest book that released today! Also available in Audio - Will be available in Print when Amazon stops messing around!
Blurb About The Book
Jayne Frost and husband Sinclair Crowe are off on another adventure, this time to Nashville, aka Music City, to pay a royal visit to one of the Santa’s Workshops toy stores. Once that’s done, they’ll have a little time to sightsee and play tourist. Which they do. Until something rather peculiar happens in the Country Music Hall of Fame that leaves Sinclair feeling all shook up. Suddenly, they have a new mystery to solve. And time is ticking for Sinclair. Even a necromancer can only take so much. Can Jayne and Sinclair get to the bottom of things before it’s too late? REVIEW Standalone or series? Book 3 in the spin off Frost And Crowe Mystery series (which spins off from the Miss Frost Mysteries) How did I get this book? It was Because I read EVERYTHING Kristen writes! Why did I choose to read this book: Because Kristen wrote it! Genre Paranormal Cozy Mystery And Now To The Review! First Impressions: At this point we are 10 1/2 books into Jayne's story (7 Main Jayne Frost Books, 1 Novella, and 2 previous Frost and Crowe) and we are joining the main characters a couple of months after the last story. General Review This is exactly the sort of story I have come to expect with Jayne. There is LOTS of food mentioned (which always sounds amazing and makes me hungry), and there is an unusual take on a story idea that has been done before - but this makes it all feel new. The fact that Jayne and Sin are on the road still touring various stores allows easily for a new adventure without it seeming weird that yet again they are solving a murder, well in this case a cold case .... which is PERFECT for Jayne and a nice throw back to the first Jayne Frost book. Final Thoughts In theory, I suppose you could read this as a standalone. Objectively all the information is there to make it work, but I would recommend at least reading the first 2 Frost and Crowe books to get the most enjoyment out of it. Oh and have snacks handy! Rating: 5 Stars! And a full Melanie's Muses approval!
