Thirty-nine-year-old Lacy Doyle knew the seaside town in England was the perfect place to start anew after a bruising divorce--a divorce where even her mother still roots for her ex-son-in-law. Lacy is dating the chef across the street from her antique store, and she has friends in the community. She has a new auction to run, and things have settled into a decent life for her.But all that changes the day the ugly American and his simpering whining wife come into the store. the guy is so obnoxiou...
Since I had so enjoyed the first in the series, I had high hopes for the sequel. Unfortunately, I feel that this missed the mark. Lacey isn’t who she was in the first book. The promise of learning more about her father is oddly and conveniently dropped from the plot, despite being the cliffhanger in the first book. Supporting characters, Tom and Gina, were portrayed so differently in this book. The repeat of Lacey being a suspect was a bit much to accept as plausible. And for the townspeople to
Very quick listen. It felt like a continuation to the first so that was nice. I was actually happy when the culprit was revealed. I didn't like that character!
LaceyAfter a shocking divorce, Lacey flees to a small English village in search of her father, who'd left she and her mom years before. The trip turned into so much more. This is the second of Ms. Grace's novels I've read. Both were excellent and have made me want to read everything she writes! Hope you enjoy this breath of fresh air from a new authors much as I have!
In this second in the Lacy Doyle Cozy Mystery series, Lacey is holding her first auction featuring naval items, including a sextant. As happens in this author's series, another dead body shows up and Lacey is once again a suspect, so she decides to solve the mystery. She's a bit of a bumbler, but eventually solves the murder. Not the best cozy I've ever read, but I'm a sucker for series, more for what happens to the characters, so I'm still reading this series (and others by the same author).
Another great Lacey Doyle MysteryThe story was great. The plot very interesting, characters were so involved and so intertwined with the story it was hard to figure out who and how it was done . I loved it.
Interesting follow-up to an enjoyable first in the series. However, this time out I felt like the author totally abandoned her original characters and threw in some strange action and characterizations. In other words, main characters Tom and Gina all of a sudden were acting completely contrary to their established characters from the first book. Plus, the main character, Lacey, became whiny and totally self-absorbed. The dog portion of the book was well done and tugged at your heartstrings. So,...
Book 2 in The Seaside Harbor series, I enjoyed this book much more than first. Lacey Doyle a NYC transplant in the sleepy Wiltfordshire seaside town, and once again stumbles across dead body. This time it's an obnoxious American tourist who won a valuable sextant in an auction hosted by Lacey at her antique shop. Lacey finds herself in whole heap of trouble as she becomes one of the prime suspects. In book two, Lacey is more comfortable in her new settings has found romance, new friends and is i...
Good mysteryI liked this book as much as I liked the first in the series. The mystery kept me guessing right until the end. Looking forward to moving right along to the next in the series.
The title was a bit deceiving. Thank goodness the dog did not die. I read these light-hearted mysteries for relaxation. Mostly, they are just entertaining. What is hard is when the main character does things which no sane person would consider. Lacey has lots of endearing qualities, but I found it hard to overlook her rash and dangerous actions to solve the mystery. I know, it’s just a story. I love cozy mysteries. So I’ll just have to decide how much of the crazies I can withstand. There are lo...
