Smashing!

This appears to be the end of the Pennyfoot Hotel series, and it is a pretty good one. I realize that there are several books after that appear to be Christmas cozies and I will read them too. Ceciy and Baxter finally settle their personal lives, but it is touch and go when one by one maids at the Pennyfoot are found strangled by their own stocking. And why does the killer keep taking one shoe? You'll have to read to find out. This has been a pretty good cozy series, and I havwe enjoyed it.

Cozy with an Edge.

In the final book of this mystery series, Cecily and Baxter have to solve the most sinister, frightening crime the Pennyfoot has ever had. Maids are being murdered in the hotel and the clues are puzzling.As always, there are enough twist and turns to keep you guessing and enough activities and characters to keep you entertained. Trust me, you will not be disappointed.I have read every book in the Pennyfoot series and not one has ever fell short of my expectations. Ms. Kingsbury has created a memorable series with delightful characters that can be enjoyed over and over again.

I cried at the ending!

Kate Kingsbury does it again with a smashing book of murder and intrigue at the Pennyfoot Hotel. The way she describes the hotel and surrounding environs makes me wish I had a Tardis and could go back in time to such a seemingly simple time and place.The ending is truly creepy and I felt apprehension and fear. Wow! What a story from a terrific story teller!Although there is great joy for the characters in the book, it is always sad in real life to see the apparent end of one of your favorite series. Kate, if you're reading this, I hope you have future plans for the Pennyfoot and its inhabitants. I welcome comments from others regarding this book. Email me!
