My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Set in the period of 1880’s Chicago, Emma and her beau Jeremy solve mysteries together. Let me tell you, this book starts off with a bang and never lets up! We find Emma and Jeremy are victims of a train wreck and soon find out why the train was sabotaged. As Emma gets help from a town close by, she can help the survivors of the train wreck and collect the money they were seeking. Upon returning home, Emma finds herself wrapped up in a new mystery she found in the newspaper and Jeremy is looking into child labor and sabotage of the glass factory that hires and abuses the children. We find out more about Jeremy’s mother and the relationship between their two fathers. Wow, it’s an explosive story for sure.
I appreciate this cute little book in the Notebook Mysteries Series. I just adore the relationship between Emma and Jeremy and find them to almost be the perfect couple supporting each other along the way. The characters are so well-written and easy to identify with. The story does not let up for a moment as we travel along with Emma to solves the mysteries and to keep her family intact. Such a great clean read and the best part of the story is that the main character is a very strong female knife wielding lead. Most enticing aspect was where Emma learned her knife skills from. A definite must read for a day at the beach or lounging around the pool. The words just flow off the page and images of bustles, horse drawn carriages, and Pinkerton agents just filled my head with delightful images. Mullins has done it again!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

As Emma carries on from the third book, she is thrown into the world of bank robbers, while trying to find them they are pushed into trying to survive a horrific train wreck, but can they live a quiet life or get bored and want more adventures, you need to read to find out.

Emma and Jeremy have settled into life, but Emma is becoming increasing bored and with her new hobby scouring the papers for cases life will inevitable get more interesting, as Emma starts a case her time becomes more and more taken up and engages Jeremy to help with a second case but when there is a twist and both cases become entangled can the duo work to solve the cases.

There is just something about these stories where you can just let your self indulge within the pages and just let your imagination go wild. Emma as a character is brilliantly written and already the story is set within the 1800’s there is a modern feel to the character. Her relationship with Jeremy has grown in each book and that the feelings shown in each story feels you are on the growth with them and are invested in the outcome.

The story as always was well written and has you intrigued and involved with ever twist and turn which comes your way. This can be read as a stand-alone book but to be fair it is probably better if you read the first three books as you get to understand the dynamic of the characters and the progression they have made. I hope this series continues with more adventures and twists, can wait.

Notebook Mysteries ~ Changes and Challenges (Notebook Mysteries book #3)Notebook Mysteries ~ Changes and Challenges by Kimberly Mullins
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Emma receives a strange request that previous client has left a inheritance and that she needs to get to New York to review the business and papers. So, a trip is organised, and she invites Jeremy along were they start to become closer and need to understand how their relationship will develop as they are locked in a society which frowns upon co-habitation without marriage.
They are thrown into task along the way which uncovers more than they are expecting but allows Emma to continue with her business and to expand her team, but when a new case lands which has them looking into murder, kidnapping and much more, can they solve the case and also help out a friend in need all trying to navigate their feelings for each other, you will need to read.

I love this series, Emma’s character is a kick ass woman in an era of conservative views and propriety, but the author navigates this with a understanding and not patronising, this story is well written and draws you into the mysteries as you follow Emma within the story. This story is full of action and intrigue and with the added aspect of Jeremy the love interest it keeps you reading till the last page. I love the interaction between the character of Jeremy and Emma as they are trying to try to have a relationship, they both would like but trying to bypass the traditions of society is challenging within their relationship but is relatable to society today in a way.

This the third book in the series and although I believe you could read as a stand-alone story there are some recurring characters from the other books and history which may be useful in this next instalment but as I say not necessary for your enjoyment in this story. I would recommend this book if you liked the thrill of a mystery with a ton of action and twists and turns which have you feeling you are involved in the action.

Can wait to read the next story in this brilliant series.

If you haven’t read any of Emma’s adventures you may just be missing out. This book starts off with Emma and Jeremy having been in a train accident. They were on a case trying to get back some silver that had recently been stolen. Once those robbers were apprehended they headed back to Chicago to be put on a couple more cases. These characters are so interwoven yet independent which, for the time period these stories are set in, I find fascinating. Emma gets to be a strong female character and show off her amazing detective skills and logical thinking. The author has been doing a great job keeping her readers engaged. I look forward to starting the next book as soon as I find some time.

4 Stars

 

Notebook Mysteries- Unexpected Outcomes is the fourth book in the Notebook Mysteries series by Kimberly Mullins. We jump into the action right from the outset with Emma and Jeremy thrust into a rather big challenge. There is another crime to solve, bringing mystery, intrigue, complexity, and some adventure.
Even though this could be read as a standalone without feeling like you are missing anything major, I highly recommend reading the previous book/s before starting on this one, as I feel that knowing what happened in the previous instalments will give you a far greater appreciation of the characters, motivations, and series foundations- and will enhance your reading experience of this book.
The story is set in Chicago in 1887 where we are whisked off on an intriguing crime and investigation story with a train wreck, bank robbers, murder, sabotage, a multi-layered storyline, suspense, drama, danger, adventure, historical details, tough decisions, family dynamics, fight scenes, tension, and mystery.
Looking forward to the next book in the series, ‘Haunted Christmas’…
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Kimberly Mullins!

Emma and her partner Jeremy are back doing their thing as super sleuths in Notebook Mysteries ~ Unexpected Outcomes. This is the fourth book in Kimberly’s YA historical adventure. Make sure you read the books in order as they follow on from each other and if you don’t you will miss out on the back stories of the characters.

Set in the 1880’s in Chicago the pair find themselves embroiled in another suspense mystery, this time with bank robbers and a train crash.

Notebook Mysteries is a for those who are a bit of a sleuth buff like Nancy Drew and those who love a good mystery.

This fourth book in the Notebook Mysteries, Emma and Jeremy are in a train wreck just outside of Statesville and find out there is a mystery to solve. Throughout the book, they end up working on several mysteries both together and apart. The story is a fast-paced rollercoaster as Emma finds herself in one situation to the next. If you haven’t read the previous books, this one reads fine as a standalone. I found this cozy mystery a fun reading appropriate for a young adult audience. There is plenty of knife fights, gun battles, dangerous actions, tender reconciliations, lost love found and restored, and threatening thugs! There is also a fabulous recipe for Heidesand, German marzipan butter cookies included at the end of the book! Like the previous books in the series, this story is a quick, fast-paced read with Pinkerton’s thrown in the mix.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Unexpected Outcomes is the fourth book in the Notebook Mysteries series, set in the late 19th Century. In this book, investigators Emma and Jeremy work on cases involving valuable artefacts, missing spouses and dangerous workplaces.

I particularly like the interesting bits of history that are included. I learnt a lot, and it added to the detail of the story.

There are some great supporting characters in this series, and it’s great to see them develop as the story goes along. Jake is a particular favourite of mine, and it was good to see him and his camera making a return!

Another thing I enjoyed in this story was getting more of Cole and Ellis’ backstory. That was really interesting, and added depth as I wondered how it was all going to resolve.

This is another five star read for me! I’d recommend reading the series in order – Unexpected Outcomes throws you right into the action and it’s good to already be familiar with the characters and their world. I’d recommend this to all fans of historical mysteries!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

What a whirlwind of a story! Emma and the team definitely know how to keep you on our toes from one mystery to the next. Chicago is brewing with population, unemployment, and violence issues around this time and you can see them vividly in this novel. In this environment, it’s unlikely the Company and Pinkerton’s stay still for long! I felt like I saw more action here than in the previous novel, but I did enjoy watching Emma grow and mature in this part of her journey. Especially with her friendship with Thomas and Jeremy, her family, and her business! Emma is still someone I would love to be friends with or have in my corner no matter what. Though there were a few scenes I felt didn’t need to be included as they slowed the story down. I would definitely recommend it to young adult readers. There is a hint of romance but nothing detailed as we have seen in other books. It is tastefully done and doesn’t cross that line detail for young readers.

I’ve entirely enjoyed the Notebook Mysteries series and it just made me happy to pick up a book and go sleuthing with Emma and her gang! Book 4 is definitely my favorite out of the series! The maturity of Emma’s character and her sleuthing skills comes full circle in my view! Previously she always had to have a hand in what was going on, but as she grows older she learns to take a step back! (I feel this is very realistic and relatable!)Her hard work is definitely paying off with that she is getting noticed and making headway for women that aren’t domestic! GO EMMA! The relationships within this book, both platonic and romantic are the type we should strive for: supportive, communicative, and trusting. This took the character’s time, but I loved their journey here! I truly enjoyed the plot twists and turns she places throughout her novel but sometimes I find myself asking why did this go here? (This is most likely a reader/distracted with a toddler issue) The writing is amazing throughout, and the world just envelopes you from beginning to end! The author exposes the YA Reader to the history of the late 19th century with a twist of modernism and creates a story that is intriguing and enjoyable in some of the roughest times of the period.

The start of the novel is the best beginning to date for me! You are hurled into action, and intrigue, and just like Emma trying to take stock of what on Earth is going on!! The late 1880s are seeing Emma just grow into her skill set and the reader just can’t put this book down when she is on the case! I had to reread the last couple of pages of the previous book, but it had no connection. The way the author writes you definitely feel Emma’s emotions during this novel (as well as in previous) from frustrating to surprising situations her cases turn to the new figure that has brought drama into their lives! From trains to knife fights against the odds to kidnapping to thievery cases we see how the gang maneuvers to ensure the success of the case. I found absolute delight in the back story of Ellis and Cole, with Ellis being involved in possible intrigue! I don’t know why but it was one of my favorite bits of the novel! The whole group dynamic is tested in this novel, and you can just feel the intensity of staking claims and testing boundaries through all the characters!

Highspeed Trains, Knife fights, cases that bring drama for everyone, family drama what can make for a better novel?! NOTHING! Please read this series and enjoy!

I know I have said it time and time again but I will keep saying it, over and over because this YA mystery series absolutely deserves as much praise as possible for its creative storylines. The captivating writing talent of this author easily transports the reader back in time so much so that you really feel as though you can see everything around you and all that is happening.
This book has so many elements to it from train crashes and fights, too I guess you would call it family drama, as well as the expected mysteries to solve, that you are kept hooked from start to finish. There are plenty of twists and turns to add to your captivation as well. Do yourself a favour and read not only this amazing book but the entire series! This book can be read as a standalone but why do that when you could read them all.

The Vibrant Emma is back for the 3rd book in this wonderfully written, engaging YA series that is simply not to be missed. I know I have said that before but I will keep saying it, over and over because this series deserves praise for its creative storylines and the captivating writing talent of it’s author.
With each book you are so easily transported back in time that you really feel as though you can see everything around you and all that is happening so vividly.
Emma has so much happening in this book! Of course a case comes along as it always does for her, with kidnapping, murder and secrets she will be kept busy. Add to that a totally surprising inheritance and you have a fantastic story that will keep you hooked from start to finish.
This book can be read as a standalone but I highly recommend reading the series not only for background but for your enjoyment!!!

This is a series that I have enjoyed reading from the first book. I highly suggest reading the previous books in this series to help your enhancement of the characters. This is one of my favorites in this series. This is a well written story about Emma and her adventure in solving mysteries. In this story her case and Jeremy’s case entangle each other. But things are not what they seem in either of their cases. It leaves both of them evaluating their own lives. This is a great story that I really enjoyed and you don’t want to miss what happens. This is an engaging story that is hard to put down. The characters have great growth and just add to the story. I enjoyed how they were able to pull me into their story and had me coming back for more. I can’t wait to see what is next in this series for Emma. I highly recommend this book and this author.

This is the fourth book in the Notebook Mysteries series. I have enjoyed all the books in this series and this one is just as good. I live how the characters of Emma and her partner/lover Jeremy’s characters have grown and developed through this series.
This story starts off fast paced and has you gripped with the pair of them on the hunt for theives when a train crash derails their plan and mission. Can Emma and Jeremy keep their eyes on the target or will the theives escape?

Once the return how that isn’t the end of their adventures when both of them are set on cases where nothing is has it seems and when the past comes back to Jeremy’s life what effect will it have on everyone around them, including Jeremy, Emma and Emma’s Dad.

This is one mystery that you won’t be able to put down and you will keep reading till the end to find out what happens.

The book immediately begins with the excitement of a train wreck, and doesn’t slow down until the end. Solving cases is what Emma and Jeremy do best. However, this book hits close to home with events from the past that affect the whole group. I really enjoy reading this series. Very well written and I love that recipes are included at the end of the book. Very clever.

“Emma woke suddenly, feeling like she was falling. She reached out for Jeremy, and then everything went black.” This is one of my favorite authors for young adult mysteries. Emma is such a brave and strong young woman. She is not afraid of much and will take risks that most won’t. Her investigative skills are fantastic. Her little black notebook has many secrets that are broken. The characters in are so well-developed. You can feel the interest between Emma and Jeremy. The opening of the book will grab you and not let go until you are finished. I also love how the author writes several subplots within the story (plot twists, if you may), and they end up fitting like they were natural. This is book 4 of the series and it just keeps getting better. An enjoyable, quick read that young sleuths will love.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Delightful story with a handful of quirky characters that will leave the reader captivated. Full of twists & turns, with just the right amount of humor….Highly recommend, even for those (like myself) who have not yet read Pride & Prejudice.
American, Eliza Darcy flies to England for the Darcy family reunion, in hopes to unravel the mystery as to why her estranged father ran to England without so much as a word. As the bodies start to pile up, Eliza with the help of some of her English family members and some friends she met along the way, team up to help solve these puzzling murders—much to the destain of the DCI, who wants nothing more for the group than to butt out! Interesting story with equal amounts of romance and mystery that leaves the audience guessing until the very end

Notebook Mysteries ~ Unexpected Outcomes (Notebook Mysteries Book 4) by Kimberly Mullins – Review by Maryn Belling

Whether you love American history, anthropology, the 19th century (late 1800s) or young ladies who defy expectations eruditely, this book series is a win. If you grew up reading the American Girl books, this series builds on reading styles you already enjoy. If you’re an adult choosing books for a younger reader, this series is similar to 100 Years of Solitude in its narrative construction, character development, and world-building – except of course you’ll already have learned 140 years of history about the places.

Book 3 left us with Jeremy & Emma reuniting at the port in New York after a learning opportunity with THE Pinkerton agency.

Book 4 finds us solving problems without the use of our (21st century) technology. If this is your first time reading about Emma’s adventures, you’ll soon be up to speed with her ingenuity and talents. If you’ve been reading the whole series, you won’t be disappointed – your girl Emma is even better in this book! The Pinkertons continue to give us new (to 1880s) detective skills and interview techniques.

Oh my goodness what’s not to like about his book !? It’s starts with a quote from Lizzy Bennet Darcy so I was already sold ❣️📕

I was in stitches before I even paged my first page “ Sexy underwear or granny panties …” 😂😂😂😂 and then Belle , Eliza’s best friend teases her about her choice of books and the fact that she’s actually packing books on a trip and well I must say I’m very much like Eliza there ❣️📕😉

The characters are just loveable and quirky from aunts and uncles to cooks and friends they all just have this way to climb into your heart and make you smile and wonder .

There’s was more than just giggles though there was a mystery and family secrets that kept me guessing and on my toes and all is not as it seems 😉

We can’t forget the romance either can we !? ❣️There we’re endless cups of teas and delectable treats to have with these lovely folk …

I read some critique about this book and I was saddened because there’s so much to love about this read ❣️📕and I just want more !!!!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Well, Pemberley, Eliza and Darcy – obviously my first pick of the month. I am a hardcore Jane Austen fan and this book did pique my interest. Eliza Darcy, a descendant to “THE DARCY” visits Pemberley for a family reunion to patch up differences between her father and uncle. Things go haywire when the social etiquettes are replaced by murder and mayhem. Eliza along with the swoon-worthy Heath. Eliza is an amateur detective and half the time errs, but she gets some solid clues which become the game changer.
Being an ardent Jane Austen fan, I did find references to the original P&P characters not really necessary, this book could have carried on as a contemporary murder mystery book “as-is”. But I did not mind revisiting the good old P&P characters at all, this book was fun But the book was overall fun and easy to read. A good mystery, eagerly waiting for what the author has in store for the rest of the books in the series.

Elizabeth is a single mother of 2 struggling in her day to day life. She cheated on her husband resulting in a child that was not his causing them to divorce. Elizabeth knows she messed up and lives everyday living the consequences. Her ex-husband, still angry, is making things worse. Late with the child support cheque and letting his thoughts of his ex-wife known to their son. Elizabeth falls deeper and deeper into debt. She goes to a trunk show where a woman, named Louisa, is selling clothing in a pyramid scheme. Sounding too good to be true, Elizabeth falls for it. On her way to her first training session, she is met by police tape and the murder of Louisa. Elizabeth makes it her duty to solve the murder.

Trying to solve a murder, take care of a toddler by herself, protect her older son from bullies, an appearance of an ex, Elizabeth tries to do it all.

This book is the debut novel written by this author and it shows. The synopsis made the book sound really interesting and it was for the most part. The only downfall was it was very repetitive and felt like the author was just trying to fill the pages. It did not focus on the murder very often and then felt very rushed to close the case at the end of the book.

Murder Most Pemberley (Eliza Darcy Mysteries Book 1)Murder Most Pemberley by Jessica Berg
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I was looking for a good mystery and this one caught my eye.

When Eliza Darcy travels to England, her goal is to solve the estrangement between her father and her uncle.

Things don’t go as planned when a body surfaces. Clues lead her to believe that the murder and her family rift maybe be more connected than she initially thought.

I will admit that I have not read any Jane Austen books and as an English major, I am aware of how shameful that looks. I wasn’t lost while reading but I had a feeling I would have enjoyed it if I was more knowledgeable about Jane Austen since the main character’s last name is Darcy which I know is a name from a Jane Austen book.

I hope that there will be more of this series. While I wait for a possible sequel, I will be catching up on my classic literature novels.

This is the debut novel of this author and it’s a nice Cozy Mystery. A really strong start however during the middle it Started to lack as it started to throw down in its pace. I thoroughly enjoyed the promise of this story as well as having the murders all planned out. Having your ex-boyfriend with the lead of the case for the murderers in your town is serving enough but when you are a suspect at the time as well you feel great. Will Red solve the mystery of these murders will Elizabeth be free to continue her newly divorced life?
