Flowers of Evil (Hani's Daughter Mysteries Book 1)Flowers of Evil by N.L. Holmes
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the first book in the Hani’s Daughter Mysteries series and it’s very well written. The historical details are amazing and really amplify the great writing in this book. I didn’t realise when I first started reading that the author was an archaeologist, now I know, it’s so obvious – how could they not be?

The author’s writing style flows well, and this paired with their in-depth knowledge really paints the scene and makes for a brilliant immersive story. The characters are also well-constructed and felt real and alive.

I was hooked beginning to end, finding more questions as my earlier ones received answers and I loved it! I absolutely love a good mystery and this one was exactly what I needed. I can’t wait for the rest of the series, if the rest is anything like this one it’ll be brilliant!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Flowers of Evil is Book One in the Hani’s Daughter Mysteries Series. The story centers around the characters of Bener-ib and Neferet who have set up a medicinal dispensary for the poor people of Egypt. Unfortunately, they discover that nobody trusts them, and their business is failing. When a dying man is brought to them for care Neferet and Bener-ib realize he was murdered. Neferet becomes determined to solve the mystery of the man’s murder and ends up involving her family in something far more sinister than she was anticipating. This book was well written and the author’s attention to detail about ancient Egypt and its culture really drew me in. The characters were relatable, likable, and I found myself rooting for them throughout the story. This was a great historical cozy mystery and I look forward to reading more in this series.

An entertaining historical cozy mystery drama which had me hooked throughout. Set in ancient Egypt and two women, Neferet and Bener-ib open a medical dispensary. Neferet is the daughter of Hani, who features in another series by the author, which I also thoroughly enjoyed. The first patient is a dying florist of Amen whose last words are very mysterious. Neferet and Bener-ib need to find the killer in order to appease the ba of the murder victim. However, they have to deal with the skepticism of their own families, as well as the malice of a rival healer. Luckily, their teenage apprentice turns out to be a natural detective. The women soon discover that in trying to do the right thing they have put themselves in danger. I love Neferet and Bener-ib as the main characters, they are so well defined that I felt like I knew them! The descriptive narrative brought the setting vividly to life, making me feel immersed in the story, and the added historical details transported me to ancient Egypt. The notes at the beginning of the book were very interesting and set the scene for the story, and I found the list of characters helpful. An enjoyable and engaging read, and I look forward to the next adventure with Hani’s daughter!

As with every other book I have read by this author, this one is detailed, descriptive and well written. I loved watching this story unfold and it really seemed like we could get a feel for Ancient Egypt and what is was like. The characters are so vivid and interesting. They fit with the story perfectly and really captivated my attention.
With every book you read from this author you can really feel her passion from ancient history. It is on every page, in every detail.

This was a new read for me. I’m not usually into historical type books. This story was very well written. The characters are poised and their interactions flow nicely throughout the story. The bits of history and culture that are sprinkled throughout the book are informative and work well into the story. You truly can close you eyes and get the feeling as though you’re in Egypt. I recommend this book if you love historical and mysteries.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I really loved these books. I’ve loved this author’s work since the first book. Their knowledge of ancient Egyptian history and all the intricate details are amazing and captivating and really brings this story to life.
This is the first book in the Hani’s Daughter’s Mysteries series.
In this story we are with Neferet and Bener-ib. They have moved and set up their own place to provide medical aid to the poorer people who wouldn’t normally have access to it. However things go the way they planned as no one comes to them. They don’t understand why people are so skeptical of them and untrusting of their care. They think by approaching a fellow practitioner they could find a way of sharing the load but how wrong they were.
Add to this intense rivalry a unsolved murder. When a man is brought into their care dying it is clear he was murdered. But why would someone want to kill a florist? Who is responsible for this murder? Neferet is her father’s daughter so she embarks on trying to solve this mystery as well as ward off the danger that comes to them from their rival practitioner.
This story is action packed and the indepth knowledge the author has about Ancient Egypt really brings these stories to life for me.

I found this book to be quite enjoyable. The characters were quite unique and relatable even being based in the Egyptian ancient times. The cozy mystery was really a nice twist. Having the girls figuring it out was a nice plot because it showed them being strong and persevering through the challenges that came their way. The premise was a really good story. I look forward to reading more in this series.

Notebook Mysteries ~ Parisian Intrigue (Notebook Mysteries Book 6) by Kimberly Mullins – Review by Shea Gilkerson 7/17/23

Parisian IntrigueParisian Intrigue by Kimberly Mullins
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

When Emma, Jeremy, Dora and Tim receive a mysterious invitation to an all-expenses-paid FIVE WEEK trip to Paris during the 1889 Paris Exposition, what do they do? While Emma is definitely suspicious, they go for it! Who could resist such an opportunity, after all? They’ve had plenty of adventures, so far.

Along the way, everyone is busy with mysteries and drama. The world building, as always, is rich and beautiful. Fashion of the time is easily visualized and appreciated. The characters have continued to grow and blossom throughout the series, and the ways they’re influencing one another is natural and charming. Romance, (multiple) mysteries, adventures and innovation.

All of these books have been great. I can’t wait to see how the author wraps them up in the seventh book. These books all flow so well and the pages fly by quickly as they are so hard to put down. In this book the gang goes on an all expenses paid trip to Paris. They don’t know who their benefactor is, they just know that they have less than 24 hours to pack their bags. It also just so happens that the Paris Exposition is also happening. A stranger befriends Emma and Jeremy on the ship while an older couple befriends Dora and Tim. Will they be friend or foe? Of course the crew gets tangled up in a few mysteries that challenge their investigative skills. If you like investigative mysteries any one of these books can be a great starting point.

This is book 6 in the series and I have read almost all of the books! Even though this novel is part of a series, it does well as a stand alone book. Who would turn down a trip to Paris? Not me! That’s what Emma does too. This historical crime story has a bit of romance, action, suspense, and plenty of intrigue for a YA novel. This book is a brilliant addition to the series. I loved feeling like I was in the book on Paris right along with the characters!

Notebook Mysteries Parisian Intrigue is Book Six in the Notebook Mysteries Series. It is a Historical Crime novel set in 1889 and centers around the character of a young girl named Emma. I have read all the books in this series and am always impressed by the author’s writing style. I love how the author takes inspiration from actual crimes that took place between 1881-1890. Emma’s latest adventure takes place with the beautiful backdrop of Paris when Emma is invited to attend the 1889 Paris Exposition. She sets out on a fun-filled, leisure-filled, trip with close friends but it does not take long before she finds herself immersed in new mysteries. Emma finds herself trying to solve two mysteries at once and one of those mysteries could affect the Paris Exposition. The author has done a wonderful job of creating interesting storylines, against the beautiful backdrop of Paris, with fantastic characters that one becomes easily invested in. I have loved the character of Emma since the first book. She is smart, feisty, determined, tenacious, and well ahead of her time. This was a great book full of action, suspense, danger, intrigue, and mystery. I highly recommend!

Parisian Intrigue is the sixth book in the Notebook Mysteries Series and can be enjoyed as a stand-alone but I highly recommend reading this series in order as each book is just as good as the last and you get learn all about the characters and pretty much watch them with each story. This is a Historical Mystery that is packed with adventure, drama, action, mystery and so much more. This author has knocked it out of the park once again. I could vividly picture Paris in 1889 and everything else as well. This one we find Emma and Jeremy along with Tim and Dora going to the Paris Exposition where they find themselves not only working one mystery but two. We follow them along the way as they do their thing. You’ll find yourself lost in the pages as you turn them to find out what happens next. I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens. I can’t wait for the next one in the series.

To be honest I couldn’t get into the story at first, but then things started picking up and I couldn’t read fast enough. I love that there were 3 different crimes in this book, all in the same area of Paris where they were staying. I can’t tell which story I was more invested in, finding out who kidnapped Patrice’s mom or what would become of the light show. Both crimes were well laid out, with so much detail and thought. The foursome finally getting to go home at the end just wrapped it up nicely, I know there is never any place like home once on a vacation. I look forward to more adventures with Emma and Jeremy.

I was so excited to find that this author had book 6 in this series! This story takes you to Paris, France for the 1889 Paris Exposition. Emma, Jeremy, Tim, and Dora head to the City of Lights for a job that they accepted. There they learn of two mysteries that could change everything. The 4 split off into pairs and tackle both mysteries and come across many people who say they are friends, but are they really? In this intriguing 6th book, you get more facts, twists and turns, and things that make you question everything you just learned. This is a standalone so you don’t need to read the other books in this series to understand what’s going on! I highly recommend this series and can’t wait for the next adventure and mystery!

These books never disappoint. Although #6 in the Notebook Mysteries Series, this can be read as a stand alone, with that said, you are really missing out on good reads if you don’t read the previous 5.
Reading the previous 5 books may help with character background and relationship dynamics.
This book is very much like the previous 5, in the sense it’s a page turner. It is certainly a warm cozy mystery. This book is suspenseful but not dark or heavy, which for me is refreshing. I truly cant wait for the next adventure.

Notebook Mysteries: Parisian Intrigue is the sixth book in the series. This can be read as a standalone but will be best enjoyed if read as part of the series. It is 1889, and time for the Paris Exhibition. Emma and her crew have been invited to Paris, but there are some suspicious circumstances to the invite. Despite their suspicions, they take the all-expense paid trip to Paris. This is a fun historical mystery series, and this addition to the series did not disappoint. The characters have grown so much through the series and always keep me reading for more. I enjoyed this story because this was not a single mystery, but several, keeping everyone busy. Emma and her team have their own strengths and identity but work together well as a unit. I think this is part of what makes this series so enjoyable. I look forward to reading more from this series and the author soon.

The author takes readers on a trans-Atlantic voyage to a World’s fair-type of expo, held in Paris in 1889. The details about the exposition were interesting. I especially enjoyed the details concerning the Eiffel Tower. Two mysteries overlap within this tale. Readers will enjoy the details as well as the setting of this latest in this series, although it can certainly be enjoyed without having read its predecessors.

Parisian Intrigue is the sixth book in the Notebook Mysteries series by Kimberly Mullins. This is a fabulous historical mystery with crime and investigation, intrigue, drama, family, friendship, travels, and adventure.
The series goes from strength to strength, with each new addition slightly eclipsing the last. Ms. Mullins me engrossed right from the outset. I was immersed in all the adventure, and sights and sounds of the Paris world fair, while I followed along to find out how everything would play out in the end.
I also found the historical notes at the end of the book were quite fascinating too.
This could be read as a standalone, if you wanted, without feeling like you are missing anything major. But having said that, I highly recommend reading the previous books before starting on this one, as I feel that knowing what happened previously will give you a far greater appreciation of the characters, motivations, and series foundations- as well as enhancing your reading experience of this book.
Looking forward to seeing what Emma (and the team) get up to next…..
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Kimberly Mullins!

This is my favorite of this series so far. Each of these can be read as a stand alone but it would be helpful to have some background information on the relationships between all the characters.

A mysterious invitation has appeared Emma, Jeremy, Tim, and Dora. They are expected to leave the next day for a 5 week vacation in Paris. Everything is paid for and arranged….not one bit weird, right?!?!? Of course, Emma’s hackles are immediately up but she’s not one to turn down a challenge.

The group arrives in Paris but not without some unexpected and uncomfortable situations. There are 3 people from the ship over that are becoming rather clingy to the group, but not all at once. Julian is more concerned about Emma and Jeremy, while Lenora and Michael buddy up to Tim and Dora.

Next thing, there is the girl in the lobby who looks scared. Then someone comes up missing, a few bodies are found, and the trip is in full swing work mode for this group. Will they ever get to enjoy the City of Lights and the Paris Expedition?

Lovers of crime set in historical settings will love this book!! It was an enjoyable afternoon read. There is plenty of action involved along with a smidge of romance (nothing overly done at all). I love reading about Emma and her clothing and how she uses it to her advantage and has taught Dora the same. I am excited to read the next edition of this series!!

I enjoyed the growth of the characters and plot throughout the story. They pull you into the story with ease and keep your attention there until the end.

This is the 6th book in the series and it’s still going strong. Once again there are mysteries which the group help to investigate, this time in Paris.

Once again, the author’s writing style makes the experience so much more enjoyable. On top of the great plot, the descriptive language paints vivid pictures of both scenery and the characters. The writing flows well making it easier to follow and research was clearly conducted into the era.

There are twists and turns to leave you guessing and you can’t help but try to piece everything together with the characters.

Having read and enjoyed the previous books in this series I was looking forward to being back with Emma and solving crimes and mysteries with her, and I was not disappointed. I think this series is getting better and better! The storyline centres on detective Emma, along with Jeremy, Tim and Dora accepting an invitation for an all paid trip to Paris. Although they are slightly suspicious of this offer, they can’t turn down a trip to see the City of Lights. Emma and her team also get to experience the 1889 Paris Exposition and spend time with family. As well as enjoying the demonstrations of innovations which will change their world, there are also two mysteries to solve.
Emma and Jeremy try to help a mysterious girl who appears and then disappears, whilst Dora and Tim try to get to the root of a secret that could affect everyone at the Exposition. They do get to do some sightseeing and even make some new friends, however not all of them turn out to be real friends. As usual the characters and settings are brought vividly to life through the descriptive narrative. I also felt transported back to Paris during the 1889 Paris Exposition due to all the added historical details. The plot twists kept me guessing as to the outcome of the story and as usual I was hooked throughout. Another enjoyable and engaging novel featuring Emma and her team, and I look forward to the next book in the series.

What a delightful installment to the series. This time Emma has taken us on a journey to Paris and the Paris Exposition. I love how the mystery started right off. Who sent the tickets? Who is this society? ????? The author does such a nice job of setting things up right from the beginning. You just can’t help but being pulled right in. Things are never as they seem with Emma’s mysteries and she will always get to the bottom of it. I found the writing to be wonderfully detailed. Such extravagant details of the food and the lifestyle, it felt like you were there. The journeys to get there, hearing about Tim and Dora’s friendships, so much going on and yet, so easy to keep up with. I enjoy this series and this author’s writing. The characters are always so colorful. I enjoyed this one and I cannot wait for the next in the series.
