This is a wonderful series but I was a bit disappointed by this book because the murder was not actually solved. In addition, Rufus, the beloved cat in the series, is ill and we do not find out if he is significantly better by the end of the book. This book definitely left me wanting more, and I hope some of the unresolved elements from this book are resolved in the next book. I do absolutely love the characters in this series, and the development of the characters is effective and nicely paced....
This is the eighth book in the series which I have loved. It features Abby Sullivan, an author,who buys an old house on the coast of Maine after losing her husband and infant son in an accident. She goes there planning on spending time alone but is adopted by a big Maine Coon named Rufus and is joined by a woman named Georgia and her giant dog, Ramos, as she transforms the house into an inn.In this book, Abby's agent contacts her and asks if she can use the Inn as a writer's retreat. There are s...
A writer's retreat at The Inn at Holiday Bay brings Abby's old writing partner to Holiday Bay. Learning more about her past is always interesting, though I wish the author had gone even further and deeper into Abby's past. This also was the perfect opportunity to show more of Abby the writer, and we didn't get nearly enough of that. Still, the character development is what makes this series as good as it is, and that was definitely present, especially with Jeremy developing his writing skills.
Kathi Daley has once again written this book, 8th in the Inn at Holiday Bay series, using her well developed characters, Abby Sullivan (writer and owner of the Inn), Georgia Carter (Coordinator for the Inn and Chef of a television show) and Jeremy Slater (grounds keeper and back up chef). We're introduced to several other characters who are attending a four day Writer's Retreat that has been rescheduled when the original location falls through. The Writer's Retreat is being led by Dax Sherman, a...
Blizzard in the Bay by Kathi Daley was another solid mystery in this series. I am always ready to visit the Inn to see what Abby, Georgia, Velma and Colt have been doing since my last visit. A quickly paced plot with twists, turns and a very small suspect pool made this one a book that I couldn't put down.
I went back to Holiday Bay for its newest installment, Blizzard in the Bay, and I was not disappointed. We join Abby and Georgia at the Inn where they are hosting a writer's retreat. There is a blizzard starting and surprisingly the mystery itself is not at the Inn but at the home of a friend of one of their guests. Colt is a honest and reliable as ever and I definitely will keep reading to see how their relationship turns out.
While this is one of my favorite series, I didn't find this story line as engaging as others in the series. Usually there is closure in the murder of her books, there was none in this one. It was all speculation. I do look forward to the next book in the series and hope its more of the story line I'd come to enjoy.
The Inn is taken over as a Writer’s Retreat and soon becomes closed off by a blizzard. It all sounds as “snug as a bug in a rug” and makes me wish I was there. Abby runs into an old writer friend she hasn’t seen in years and whom she had a crush on before she married her late husband. Abby and Colt work together to solve a murder that seems hard to solve. I really love the setting of this book/series and felt right at home. The animals are wonderful and the characters very well written.
This could be my favorite of the series except that the ending wasn't really definitive. Good, easy read otherwise. 4.5*
Intriguing TaleI really enjoy the Inn at Holiday Series. It’s probably my favorite of Kathi Daley’s many cozy series. The characters are engaging and there is always something interesting happening at the Inn in each one. This time a group of writers are at a writer’s retreat at the inn in Maine during a blizzard. Meanwhile a man is killed during a break in a poker game in town. The 5 other players all had sketchy alibis, one of them is the leader of the retreat.I really enjoyed trying to figure...
Disappointed in the lack of endingI was disappointed that there was no one actually arrested for the murder at the end. It just remained up in the air, and a couple lesser crimes by the same suspects were solved. I know this is a cozy mystery, but it amazes me that the police chief was so willing to share so many details with Abby and the diner owner. I was pleased that Abby and Colt do plan to get away together - that part of the ending was a good one.
In this next book of the series Abby is getting ready to host a writer's retreat at her Inn. Her agent booked the retreat for a group of writers after their previous location fell through. Abby agreed to the retreat and is looking forward to it until she finds out a man from her past will be attending. The man in question had Abby looking at feelings that she had no way of responding to. She would like to remedy these feelings once and for all but doesn't want to hurt anyone in the process. Will...
