Body at Buccaneer’s Bay<\/a><\/em> (2021) Josh Lanyon<\/a> (Secrets and Scrabble)<\/p>\n

\"Body<\/a>This was delayed, and delayed, and delayed.<\/p>\n

However, a brief check of her website made it clear that she (like the rest of us) was struggling with the pandemic, and would be unable to meet her publishing schedule.<\/p>\n

Which, good for her for realizing that, and changing her schedule rather than pushing and giving us a lousy book and\/or harming her well-being.<\/p>\n

Ellery and Jack are still working out what kind of relationship they are having. And the fact Ellery keeps getting involved (no matter how accidentally) with murders is a problem for Jack, who lost his wife and their unborn child years prior, and so is afraid of losing those he loves.<\/p>\n

Talia\u2019s brows arched. She looked from Jack to Ellery. \u201cThen you are seeing each other?\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cNo, no,\u201d Ellery said. \u201cIt\u2019s a custom on the island for the police chief to greet citizens with a kiss.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is a cozy, which means the story is lighter in tone, and in this case pokes gentle fun at itself.<\/p>\n

\u201cUh, you live in Pirate\u2019s Cove, right? That quaint New England village with a homicide rate second only to Cabot\u2019s Cove?\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A quick and fun read, which is just what my brain wanted. (Which is why I read it two days after it came out.)<\/p>\n
