Love this series. Olivia Matthews’ experience as a romance author gives this cozy mystery an upbeat, rom-com-like feel.

I really enjoyed this second book in the Peach Coast Library mystery series. Marvey Harris is settling in to her new life. She loves her small home, her job at the Library , her colleagues and her friends. She has some new fundraising plans and with her kickoff a success everything is right in her world, until while cleaning up after the party, she finds a list with four names on it, one of the people had just died under mysterious conditions and when a second is killed after the kickoff party Marvey starts to panic as one of the names left on the list is her good friend Spence and she is determined no harm will come to him.

“Get ready for a delightful and engaging cozy mystery with ‘Murder out of Character ’! Marvey, a charming librarian, stumbles upon a mysterious list that unravels a web of intrigue and danger in the idyllic town of Peach Coast. With a perfect blend of humor, romance, and suspense, this story keeps you hooked until the very end. Join Marvey, Spencer, and their clever librarian companions as they unravel clues and face a killer determined to seek vengeance.

This story was not for me it lacked many things. I would not recommend it. There was some parts that were hard to follow. I ended up not finishing the book

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an electronic copy to read in exchange for an honest review.

This is the second book in the Peach Coast Library series. As with many cozies, we get to meet more characters and learn more about the ones already introduced in the series. It was so nice to see Marvey again and watch her investigate another crime. The romance is steaming up a bit (very very slow burn). Fingers crossed for book three soon.

This was a fun and sharing small town cozy mystery. I really enjoyed it and must go back and read the first book.
Many thanks to Hallmark Publishing and to NetGalley for providing me with a galley in exchange for my honest opinion.

Murder Mysteries is my game! Although this fun easy read was great....I did have a little hard following. I did not realize there were two other books prior to this read. However, I still enjoyed this great read. Thank you to the publishers and the author who let me read this wonderful murder mystery. :)

I received this book for free from netgalley for an honest review.

Marvey is fairly new to Peach Coast, Georgia. There is a bit of acclimation needed for a New Yorker, but she loves her new home and friends. After a fund raising galg for the library, Marvey finds a list. There are 4 names on the list. One person on the list has died and another soon follows. Her friend Spence is on the list. Marvey is convinced this is a hit list and that the first two people on the list were murdered. Spence thinks she is going overboard but agrees to go with her to speak to the police. Marvey knows that people think she is being extreme, but she is bound and determined to protect Spence and the other person on the list.

This is a fun cozy. It moves a little slow, but is easy-to-read and entertaining.

I just couldn't get interested...far too many characters to follow and not a great storyline. I was disappointed for all of the hype.

This was a great continuation to the previous book Murder by page one. The characters are so relatable and I feel like they are my friends and we are on this mystery together. I highly recommend this series to anyone who loves cozy mysteries.

Strong, interesting, and likable characters provide a strong foundation in this enjoyable cozy mystery.
