This was from a new to me and great author. I really enjoyed the book. Will definitely recommend this book.

A good cozy read. The premise is well thought out and the protagonist is a strong female. That being said, she's flawed, but recognizes this in herself and is willing to confront it. I enjoyed the setting of the hotel and its history. I would advise those who were interested in this title to pickup the first in the series. Keown made a valiant attempt to fill in blanks but I think readers would be better served to begin with book one.

Dust to Dust is part of An Ivy Nichols Mystery Series. Audrey Keown weaves a really interesting story.

In this book, Ivy Nichols is working as a clerk in Hotel 1911. It is a previous mansion and it holds secrets about her past. A national conference of the Pittsburgh chapter of the Association for Gravestone Studies is underway at the hotel. Of course, Ivy is curious about what they may find as it relates to her family.

Accused is the manager, but Ivy believes he is innocent. Determined to prove his innocence will only get closer to danger and the killer.

The story is really interesting with plenty of twists to keep you turning page after page until the very end. Highly recommend!!

An amazing continuation to a really good series. I can not wait to read more. This is such an incredible read.

A group of graveyard enthusiasts come to town, and one is murdered. Unfortunately the Police Chief arrests the wrong person. Good idea for a book, it just needs a little polishing in my opinion.

Thanks NetGalley for this ARC!! I enjoyed every moment of this book and would eagerly pick up another book by this author. I enjoyed the thought of staying in a period themed hotel and the descriptions of the hotel and city were spot on. Ivy felt like a real friend and a genuine person. Someone just trying to live her life balancing work, family, and mental health like so many of us do every day. I enjoyed the twists of the story that really had me guessing who the murderer was and how all the pieces would fit together. Looking forward to the next book!

This book was sent to me by Netgalley on Kindle for review...it is set in a period hotel with all the trimmings...who did it? Who committed the murder? Trying to determine the answer to that question, while trying to keep the characters and their relationships straight, is the question, this book just did not keep ,y interest , but other readers might enjoy it.

In my personal opinion, the author has really gotten it together this time! The main characters are more solid, the transitory ones more interesting (let me tell you about the naked grannies in the public pool who smoke weed in their room). The publisher's blurb is pretty good so there's no need to go over that again and spoilers are silly. The twin mysteries are: the murder of one of the guests/police management of the investigation, and Ivy's need to investigate her own family history. There is misdirection and red herrings as expected but sneakier this time (that's a good thing). This one I loved!
I requested and received a free temporary ebook copy from Crooked Lane Books via NetGalley. Thank you!

I thought this was so cute and so fun. I was so pulled in to the story that I didn't even try to solve it, I just loved rolling along with Ivy as she uncovered each part. I liked the duel mysteries. One locked room type of mystery and the mystery of Ivy hunting down family. They were both equally fun to try to uncover. I also liked her dad, the great personality of the hotel and the guests. I haven't read the first one, but I know I'll circle back around and read it now. I'll definitely be looking for more from this series!

<i>A huge thank you to the author and publisher for providing an e-ARC via Netgalley. This does not affect my opinion regarding the book.</i>

This book was a great read. Perfect to cozy up next to a fire and devour. It is about Ivy Nichols, a young woman who finds herself working at the Hotel 1911. The hotel is hosting a group of people fascinated with historic graves. During their trip, one of the “gravies” end up dead. Mr. Fig, the regal butler of the hotel is blamed for the murder. Ivy is devastated that her friend has been arrested and is out to prove his innocence. She doesn’t stop until she finds the real killer. She also learns more about the Hotel 1911, which was her grandparents home years ago. Ivy also deals with her crush on her best friend and hotel chef, George.
The plot was wonderful. I enjoyed every minute of this read. Thanks to the publishers for allowing me to read this book!

This is the first in this series and it probably wasn’t a good idea not to start with book 1. The setting, storyline, and mysteries are all fun, but I had a hard time with a lot of the smaller details. These were probably all explained in previous books, but having never read them, left me feeling perplexed and slightly left out. Also, I’m not a big fan of suspense endings.

I really liked this book. I didn't realize it was book two in the series until after I posted it on Goodreads. Now I want to read book one as well. The main character Ivy is my favorite. She is easy to like and my heart feels for her throughout the book. The writing was very good. I was intrigued from page one and wanted to know how it would all come together. I finished the book in one day and I definitely would recommend this cozy mystery.

Dust to Dust is a fun and engaging mystery which takes places in an old hotel.. I'll be reading more by the author, Audrey Keown.

I really enjoyed this book. I found it to be quite delightful and fun. It’s a clever story without being heavy but with enough mystery and twists and turns to really engage the reader and keep you interested. I highly recommend both this novel and author and can’t wait to read more!

Ivy works at Hotel 1911, a former Pittsburgh mansion turned hotel. It’s faded opulence draws visitors to its doors, but Ivy senses something unsettling in the old building’s bones, perhaps secrets about her own, unknown family? A group of people dedicated to the study of gravestones and graveyards checks in, intent on finding the old cemetery believed to be on the hotel’s grounds. When a member of the party is strangled, police suspect hotel manager, Mr. Fig. But Ivy doesn’t believe it and sets out to uncover the real killer, following a series of ever more bizarre clues. This is a really fun book, I felt like I was reading a combination of Clue and an adult Nancy Drew mystery.
