Another great addition to the series! Love the characters! Love the comics! I think we all need a Mrs. Berns in our lives! The mystery aspect has been getting better and better with each story in my opinion. January Thaw is book nine in the Murder by Month series and Mira finds herself caught up in a decades-old mystery dating back to the Civil War. I would have liked the author to elaborate on more of the details from the past and what happened during the war as well as commenting on more items from the museum. It was extremely interesting, but a little too cut and dry. I love historical fiction, so this is mainly a preference of my own. Others may not care about it at all. As always, it was a fun, easy read with lots of humor and a good storyline. I would highly recommend this book and the series if you're looking for a cozy mystery with a lot of laughs!

Thank you to Thomas & Mercer for granting me digital access via NetGalley in exchange for my honest review!

I really liked this book. It's a cute murder mystery with a antidote that keeps the reader interested and it's not generic.

Loved it, loved it, loved it! Mira and Mrs Berns are my absolute favourite crime fighting duo and their efforts to break into a haunted house are nothing short of hysterical. Add to this, some uncertainty in Mira’s love life and a mystery from the Civil War era, and there is a lot going on in this instalment of the murder by the month mysteries. How is Jess Lourey’s name not on everyone’s list when thinking of modern, funny mysteries?

This is my favorite cozy mystery series. Full of humor and I look forward to each book. Can’t wait for February Fever!!
