A pilgrim statue is the murder weapon in this Thanksgiving-themed episode of The Inn at Holiday Bay. When one of her guests is bludgeoned to death in the parlor, writer-turned-innkeeper Abby Sullivan can't help investigate alongside her police chief friend Colt Wilder.The mystery in this book is interesting, and kept me guessing until the very end. The characters are still as fun and compelling as they always have been, and reading about their changing lives gives a lot of depth to the series.

A good, quick, easy read

Ms. Daley has another wonderful series that includes mystery, family and friends that grabs my attention from the first page. I enjoy reading about Abby and Georgia as they make their guests feel welcome in their small town of Holiday Bay. Abby has to solve this mystery on her own as Colt is out of town when Jeremy finds the dead body of a guest in the parlor. There's several twists and a few red herrings that kept me guessing until the reveal.

I was excited when I first found this series because it seemed like something I would thoroughly enjoy and because there were already ten books in the series. I love a good binge read.I have, however, grown more disenchanted with each book and now, after the fifth one, I have decided it's time to stop wasting my time and move on.The characters are one-dimensional and stale. The murders are also flat, seeming unimportant to the daily trivia going on in the lives of the characters but, as I've sai...

I love this series and all its characters. Abby and Georgia are gearing up for the holidays when a guest in found dead, and the people at the Inn are all under suspicion. Abby wants answers and is suspicious of the Officer in charge of the investigation while the local sheriff is out of town. The mystery was good and kept me guessing. I can't wait to revisit these characters in the next book.

Pilgrim in the Pantry is the sixth book in Kathi Daley’s The Inn at Holiday Bay series. The storyline flows smoothly, and the book is a clean and easy read. The setting is charming, and the well-developed characters are affable, compassionate, and caring. The mystery is well-plotted and complex, with lots of twists and turns and no shortage of potential suspects to keep the reader engaged and guessing. I highly recommend this series to readers who enjoy well-crafted cozy mysteries.Abby Sullivan’...

Milton Standoff's dead body was discovered by Jeremy as he was going about his daily duties of opening the Inn at Holiday Bay. Milton was a guest there. He was an obnoxious know-it-all. Everyone would be happier if he just went away. But who would kill him, and why? Milton was in town to direct production of the annual Thanksgiving play. He had made enemies within the theatre group as well as a few of the local business people. Yet, he was hit in the head with a heavy pilgrim statue in the Inn's...

Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy Another great mystery by Kathi Daley, she never disapoints me. Also as usual there were a number of suspects to investigate, because the victim wasn't a very nice person. I'm really enjoying The Inn at Holiday Bay series and I recommend it to all cozy mystery lovers. Now I'll be moving on to the next book.

It's nearing the holiday of Thanksgiving in Holiday and plans are made to celebrate with a special dinner including family, friends and the people who have reserved rooms at the inn. Jeremy Slater, Abby's and Georgia's new employee stumbles on the dead body of Milton Standoff.while he is unlocking the doors of the inn, opening the curtains and starting fires in the three wood-burning fireplaces. Standoff has been hired to direct the Thanksgiving Pageant. Unfortunately Police Chief Colt Wilder is...

Another Excellent Cozy fron KathiAnother great read from Kathi Daley's series, The Inn at Holiday Bay. This one was a bit different though, because there was an actual murder in the Inn! Abby is in full detective mode, as she tries to seek out the person who killed one of her guests in the inn's living room. Oh, there are so many suspects, for the man who was murdered, was not a likeable guy, and, of course, there are many theories. The one theory is the one that's hard to imagine because he has...

What a great interesting read. The characters were intriguing and full of uniqueness. The storyline was definitely something that reading until the very end. Definitely don't want to miss this one.

Excellent book!!!!I love this series, because it shows women you can get through a very devastating situation with your strength inside and a very good friend that listensAbby and Georgia have a special friendship as they opened the Inn at Holiday Bay. With Jeremy as co-manager of maintaining the grounds/ chef.They had an incident in their parlor after the pageant rehearsal, with the nasty director brought in by the committee. No one liked the guy because he was a jerk and knew nothing about the...

A bit dull in placesThis time the body's in the parlour if the inn and is found by Jeremy as he does his morning rounds. Milton Standoff was staying at the inn for a month while he directed the play for Thanksgiving. An unpopular man who was a second rate actor himself he's managed to make several enemies in a short span of time. There's Caroline, who he dated to obtain the position, Shawna, who he chased a little relentlessly even though she wasn't interested, Gaylord, who he frustrates with hi...

Complex Holiday CozyThis was one of the best books in this Series. The murder of a very unpopular actor who was in town to direct the local play, led to a lot of confusion as to why he was killed and who did it. I enjoyed the complicated plot which was resolved satisfactorily.There were fewer of the regular characters involved in this story. I enjoyed getting to know more about other people who live and work in Holiday Bay.I look forward to reading the next book in the series!

That was a close one for Abby. She was left for dead when the killer thought Abby knew something about who the suspect was. I’m glad she’s ok, because without her there’d be no more books for this series!New friends were made and new love happened. Lots of mysteries going on to figure out including the pilgrim in the parlor’s answers. Abby annoyed me a bit when she got to the point she was being overly nosy. That nosiness is exactly what I hate in other mystery reads. Next book is The 7th of 18

I'm still continuing on with this series, although the books seem to be getting shorter and less substantial. I've been timing my reading of them to the holiday seasons so here is the November/Thanksgiving one. An actor who was directing the town's Thanksgiving pageant is discovered murdered in the B&B's parlor and the murder weapon was a heavy Pilgrim figurine off the mantle. It's a pretty simple, straightforward mystery with a list of suspects and red herrings but if you pay attention from the...

I enjoyed this one! The story moved along at a nice pace. The characters were many but they didn't get lost in the story. They each had a story line that was easy to follow. You have to not be a stickler for police procedure because it isn't followed in the book. This is my favorite of her writings so far. A quick little read to put you in the holiday mood with a little murder on the side.
