First for me in this series. Well written, enjoyed the great characters and interesting mystery as well as the unexpected twist and turns, that make any series fun to read. Planning on going to Charleston one day, so I found the setting fascinating. I'll be checking out more by this author.

Lowcountry Bookshop by Susan Boyer  This is the 7th in a series around  a husband and wife, private detectives.  But it was my 1st by this author. While I enjoy reading about the low country and all the Islands around Charleston this was too busy with naming each street, park, etc. I could not follow. Lots of characters to track too.  Maybe if I started with the 1st book I would have been vested in the main characters.  But I really didn't even enjoy the parts that were supposed to be funny. Thanks to Net Galley for the chance to read this book.

The latest in the Liz Talbot low-country mystery series, each one as good as the last. Liz Talbot and her husband Nate are P.I.’s in the Charleston area and there is always a new case. Filled with wonderful characters ,including her family and friends as well as a resident ghost, the mysteries are real, and one of the few cozy series I read that I can’t guess the ending.

The seventh book of Liz Talbot series shines as much as any book in the wonderful detective series. There are three things that readers are guaranteed from Susan M. Boyer; great caring characters, a fascinating mystery line, and the unexpected. Lowcountry Bookshop offers all three elements and much more. One of the extras that I enjoy is spending time with Liz’s family. Her father has such a talent for getting on her mother’s last nerve but that southern lady never forgets that she is a lady. The bone of contention this time is a trio of pygmy goats. While the tiny goats sound fun and adorable, Caroline and the neighbors don’t see the little marauders in quite that light.
The mystery for which Nate and Liz are hired seems pretty simple but their jobs never turn out that way so readers will not be surprised that the investigation quickly becomes complex. Sonny sees a popular local mail carrier as a suspect rather than just a witness to a hit-and-run that left the victim dead. Our friendly ghost assures Liz that the young woman is innocent but offers no additional help with the case. Although there were two 911 calls, no other witnesses step forward but a lawyer hires the team for an anonymous client. Our favorite PI team faces as tough a challenge at any they have dealt with before.
I received a copy of this ARC via NetGalley and I loved it just I have loved every book in this series.

Adore this series and the evocative Charleston settings. The eccentric family (at least to non-Southerners) adds a great punch of humor and I am looking forward to the next one !
