In the first of a new series, A DARK AND STORMY MURDER is
absolutely a brilliant
beginning! I love the lively characters that Julia
Buckley created in this Writer's
Apprentice Series down to the furry pets. With the setting
being in a small town
of Blue Lake, Indiana, Buckley sets the scene of many
mysterious individuals that
the main character Lena London meets on her first day and
gets wrapped up in
some of their secrets.
Lena London has a love for the novels written by her
favorite author,
Camilla Graham. So when she is given the chance to ghost
write with her and
move to Indiana to share Camilla's Victorian home rent-
free she of course moves
there with her cat. Wouldn't we all love to have the
opportunity to meet and
work with our favorite author? As she helps Camilla work
on her latest mystery
novel, there is a murder that happens outside Camilla's
home on Lena's very first
day there. What promise to be a quiet town, turns up to
have many mysteries of
it's own. Lena meets many interesting people that first
day and is closer to a
killer than she realizes. But as she helps Camilla with
her next novel, she cracks
more than one case!
This first mystery left you with an ending that will have
you drooling for the next
edition! Ending with another mystery, Buckley really
knows how to get you
hooked. After reading A DARK AND STORMY MURDER I found
myself wondering
where this next mystery will take us. This cozy mystery
has everything from the
loveable characters to the mysterious happenings and I am
betting more secrets
to come. I am really excited about this new series with
the fresh twist of having
the main characters being mystery writers solving real
mysteries in their town. A
DARK AND STORMY MURDER by Julia Buckley is one novel that
any cozy mystery lover
would want o read!
