My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This was an interesting story of Emma who grow up in the late 1800s and after surviving the great Chicago Fire. Emma is observes everything and notices things that no one else does. This leads her to start solving mysteries and solve a crime no one knew was a crime. I did feel like there could have been a bit more character development as some things I felt like were skimmed over. Overall, this was a fun listen with a twist at the end. Don’t forget to check out the recipes for the desserts that are discussed throughout the book. I can’t wait to try them.

I truly loved this book, as being an avid Sherlock Holmes lover and being born and raised in Chicago, I was very much drawn to this novel and all it gave. I loved the author’s writing and descriptive skills!

Emma was a wonderful lea heroine. Really loved her attributes and do or do do not, there is no try attitude. She was resilient and strong. A great role model in fact. I loved her quest for the truth no matter what it took! The book was a good read as the author really played on time frames and descriptive words. I felt I was transported to the time of this book and where it took place in Chicago. It was a trip I certainly enjoyed. The action fell short of nothing but the best. I was gripped and held and turning pages, felt I was aside Emma in her mystery beforehand trying to figure things out before it was too late! Wonderful, fun and light heart feeling read! I really enjoyed it! Look forward to reading more in the series and partaking in Emma’s adventures and mysteries! Loved it!

Great first book in a brand new series. I know Emma will lead many more mysteries that are at her feet, and strive to be the best intelligent sleuth that she can and is! Very much high recommendation for this must read book!

A delightful, easy read! I really enjoyed this historical, cozy mystery following amateur, teen sleuth, Emma. Set in the late 1800s in Chicago, this story gives the reader a rich history and insight to the time and provides great setting and cases for Emma to discover.

The character and story development were excellent. Emma is an independent, compassionate, and lovable character. Though the story begins with great loss, her resilience shines through. This action packed and often unpredictable cozy mystery is highly recommended. I will be picking up the rest of the series!

This is a series that I have read out of order but found thoroughly enjoyable anyway. Adding the first book of the series on to what I have read was always something I was going to do, and I am really glad I did. I had a great feel for the characters anyway but it was nice to finally get that full, overall development. There were definitely a few details in this book that I had missed out on.
As with the others this book is well written with a great, steady pace to it. I became invested in both the characters and the story and enjoyed that tale the author had created. This is a great series overall that is definitely worth a read.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is an enjoyable and engaging YA cozy mystery, and a great first book in a new series. In this story we are introduced to the heroine of the series, Emma, who is working at her family’s bakery but dreaming of adventure. Set in Chicago 1881, and the city is recovering from the Great Fire of 71, and the author does a wonderful job of bringing both the setting and the era vividly to life, through her descriptive narrative. Emma takes the opportunity of working with the boys on the delivery wagons, in her quest for a more exciting life.
Emma has always been very observant and dreams of being a detective. Her observations lead her to investigate cases ranging from robbery to murder. However, her first case becomes more complicated when her family seem to be involved, and family secrets are revealed. Emma has to use all her skills, including her self defence and knife skills, in order to protect both herself and her family. This is a very entertaining, page turner of a novel, which I thoroughly recommend. Emma is a great main character, who is likeable and relatable, and I look forward to going on many more cases with her during this series.

They are also trying to continue to run her mom’s bakery keeping them all super busy but the desires of Emma’s heart is far greater than her mom’s bakery.

Notebook Mysteries: Emma
By: Kimberly Mullins
5*

This story takes place in 1881. Emma’s mother has died in the Great Chicago Fire and her family is picking up the pieces the best she can. They are also carrying on the legacy of her mother’s bakery. Her cousin is running the bakery, but she has a desire for more. Truthfully, she has always had a desire for more. She is fashion conscious and very observant. She goes nowhere without the red hat on her head and her skirts, while still following the dress code, have a long slit in them. Emma also is incredibly observant. She goes nowhere without her trusty notebook, which is where she records all her observations. With her desires for a larger, more adventurous life, she asks her father for permission to ride along with the delivery boys. He agrees with the caveat that she stay safe and careful. To agree with her father’s wishes, she decides the best way to do this is to dress like a delivery boy, with her hair braided on top of her head, underneath her hat. While on her delivery routes, she finds that her keep observance will come in handy. She is able to solve many crimes and mysteries throughout the city. Including a possible robbery. She is definitely trying to stay safe, however, she hopes that the lessons her father has given her will help her if needed.
This book is full of twists and turns. I truly enjoyed it and it kept me guessing. I cannot recommend this book enough!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This series has always been very entertaining. This is book 1. You can read them stand alone but I recommend reading them in order. Emma is a very courageous and independent young woman. She may have some fear but she doesn’t show it. She’ll get to the bottom of mysteries. In this one, she’s working to figure out what happened to her momma. I love the characters. They are so well-written. Dora, Jeremy, Tony, etc. are relatable and feel like they could be your family. Some delicious recipes are also included with this book. The plot can get you right in the heart because it will get all your emotions. This is Emma’s family mystery that we are solving. A wonderful book that will be a classic. Meant for the younger crowd but the older people will love it too.

The fourth book of the Notebook Mysteries, unexpected outcomes, continues to follow Emma – a young, observant sleuth. This book is a good end to a fun series!

Emma has grown and matured through the books to get to this place. The mysteries are as tangled as ever, the costs even greater. It’s fun to see the events from Emma’s perspective and I love how familiar the characters have become.

The story does build on itself so I suggest you start with book 1. You won’t regret it.

I am enjoying the Notebook Mysteries but just realised I missed the first book and have gone back and finally read it. This book is titled Notebook Mysteries ~ Emma and is where it all began.

This is a YA, historical cozy mystery tale where a 16-year-old spirited Emma wants more in life. She fancies herself a bit of an amateur sleuth and the adventure begins. She finds herself caught up in danger, crime, dark secrets, corrupt officials and mobsters.

Emma is a delightful and a fun read. It is not just a cozy mystery it is also a bit of a recipe book included throughout to delight the senses.

Notebook Mysteries is a for those who loves super sleuthing and who love a good mystery.

I have really enjoyed reading this Cozy Mystery. It’s such a cute series. Just when I thought Addison Moore and Bellamy Bloom couldn’t top the previous books, they bring their A game and knock the ball out of the park with this one….. This is my favourite book yet, and what makes it even better is that Lottie and the rest of the gang are back, and the crossover is fantastic. While there isn’t as much drama surrounding Jasper’s ex Camila, there is a lot more drama when wives are revealed….. I honestly don’t know how to put into words how amazing this book is. Plus, now that Bizzy and Leo aren’t the only ones with special abilities (like reading minds), it makes it all the more special when they do.
Thanks to Mack (the mayor/ex-bestfriend), Bizzy is hosting a seniors bake off at the Inn, and it appears to be going well, judging by the turnout.

I loved the first book in this series! So of course I had to get my own paws on this beloved gem. I love animals, and cats are very special to me, so of course reading this and hearing about the cats in the story and around the protagonist warms my heart completely! This second installment does not disappoint at all.

We have our fan favorite Ellie back with another mystery in her cat cafe at hand. I loved how her personality and ability to be as curious and inquisitive as she was in the first, was just as strong in this book! This book I found was a quicker pace than the first, as we knew the main characters and some of the felines, and I found the story took different turns than I expected, I was very much immersed in the story and wondering what would happen next! Could not put it down! I was hooked! Love this book and this wonderful author!

The series appeals to me as I do love cats, and I love a good cozy mystery. I love when an author takes all your personal favorite things and makes a book off them! Highly recommend this must read book and author!

Felines and Fatalities is the second book in the Kitty Beret Café Mystery series by Ruth J. Hartman. It’s a fun cozy mystery- a whodunnit with murder, crime & investigation, quirky characters, a colourful cat café, plenty of felines, a cat show, humour, banter, drama, adventure, and suspense.
As we discovered in Book One, Ellie Warren owns the Kitty Beret Café where lattes and felines abound. In this instalment Ellie gets persuaded to host a cat show for rescue cats. Seems pretty straightforward, doesn’t it? Well, not so much. Things take an unexpected and sinister turn when one of the judges is murdered. With a nose for mystery, Ellie gets swept up in the investigation and is soon on the hunt for the killer. What happens makes for an intriguing read.
Templeton stole the show again! Love him!
Looking forward to seeing what Ellie and Templeton get up to next.
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Ruth J. Hartman!

Oh my, my favorite cat series is back. The Kitty Beret Café Mystery series is fantastic. Both humorous, funny, mysterious and full of cat antics that make the books so darn entertaining. This book was just as entertaining as the previous. There are cat antics at the cafe; grandma; a rescue cat cat pageant with a little murder on the side and some sexy detective flirting. The characters are just as quirky as can be. They make me of the town I grew up in. They are so relatable and remind me of some people I know. The plot line runs smooth even with some plot twists in it. I love the humor and cat antics. The whole idea of a cat café is so cool and unique. The tone is fun, engaging and just right for a cozy mystery. This is a series that you should try out.

The author does not disappoint once again in book 4 of the Notebook Mysteries series! These stories are incredible as you continue to discover more about Emma, the main character. Emma goes through so many suspenseful and challenging issues that very quickly you are in shock with each turn of events. The historical nature of this story, in addition to the imagery in the author’s writing makes you feel as if you are right there in the 1880’s experiencing the cultural and even climate changes. Emma develops her love interest all the more in this book in the series, so it is not only packed with lots of twists and turns, but it gives the romantic side as well! I could easily see this in a movie. I am looking forward to the next book in the series next month and I can’t wait!!!!

Emma and crew are back, building relationships and solving mysteries. This one is in 1887 and starts off with a bang. Emma and Jeremy are building their lives together and growing together as a couple. They are so sweet, so well written, and I love that Emma is a strong young female lead and Jeremy is an adamant supporter of her.

Going from chasing bank robbers, train crashes, murder, missing spouses, sabotage and child endangerment to feeling unsure of Jeremy’s mothers intentions once they meet and scouring the papers for cases because Emma is bored seems like a big range of topics. However, as with the rest, Emma and her world is beautifully written, has great leads, wonderful descriptions, excitement, excellent relationship building and is all tied together and delivered with a bow. These books stay on your mind until you can devour the whole thing.

Great debut book! Quick, easy read that I thoroughly enjoyed. Perfect portrayal of single mom life & how messy divorce can be! A little bit of a slow start—however, it did keep me captivated until the end!

Elizabeth Candew is a recently divorced, mom of 2, who is struggling with her mounting bills! Desperately trying to get ahead, Elizabeth is drawn into a pyramid scheme that increases her already large credit card debt. Just when Elizabeth thinks things can’t get any worse, they of course do! Throw a murder in the mix and the detective investigating the homicide is an ex boyfriend who broke her heart. Murder & family drama, delivered with humor, keep the reader engaged from start to finish! Highly recommend and can’t wait for Ms. Hernon’s next book!
