February Fever is a chilly ride kind of like that moment when you step outside without a coat, then immediately regret it, but you can’t stop reading because you’re invested. It’s definitely worth picking up if you like psychological thrillers with a side of Minnesota winter (who doesn’t love a good snowstorm?)😂 but just know that it’s not going to warm your heart unless you consider a slow-burn mystery that eventually thaws out into something solid.

Love this series! The saga of dead-body magnet, Mira James, continues in book ten where love is in the air on board the Valentine Train. Ha, yeah right! More mystery and mayhem abound with Mira, Jed and Mrs. Berns investigating the death of a passenger and her missing husband and child. Lots of intriguing characters in this one. The humor wasn't as laughable as some of her other stories, but still enjoyable. I have to admit to being extremely upset about a choice the author made though. I didn't take it seriously at first. With only two books left in the series, I'm not sure why this had to happen. Readers will understand once they reach this part of the story. I'm disappointed but will continue on to finish the series. These books are too good to pass up! Highly recommend for lots of laughs and some good mystery fun.

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

I read this one with trepidation knowing we are fast approaching the end of the twelve month cycle - and I don’t want the adventures of Mira and her friends to be over. The author continues to deliver her trademark humour, but the mystery which forms the plot of this book is a bit more sinister and more darkly presented than past offerings, even when compared to the one with the serial killer. The setting of a train supports this sense of almost claustrophobic panic as Mira tries to get to the bottom of the mystery. It’s a terrific book and evoked many different emotions - Lourey is one of hell of a writer.

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