Contempt Cover Front

 

Grandma BB, (I love that photo!) the unofficial matriarch of the Jamieson clan, is getting her house in order for the perfect homegoing celebration. After all, she’s eighty-something.

She summons Parke Jamieson VI, his brothers, cousins, and their families to play a part in the practice funeral program—only if they follow her instructions to the letter.

Since the Jamiesons are at her house with bodyguards Chip and Dale, they might have an impromptu family game night.

The evening is full of surprises, especially when an unexpected visitor shows up to steal the show. With more work that needs to be done, Grandma BB plans to put her funeral on hold and stick around for a couple more generations.

Lyn Needs Help with a Title!

booksbylyncote.com Posted on August 14, 2023 by Lyn CoteAugust 14, 2023

Now for the September question.

I need help with the title of my book that will come out early 2024. It will be the final book and my “The Preacher’s Daughters” series. My heroine, Kat, short for Katherine, is a small town business owner who is forced to take on a partner after medical expenses for her late father have cropped up. Through friends, she has connected with a Chicago businessman who wants to leave the big city. So here are the two choices: 

A:“Kat’s Big-City Partner,”

or 

B: “Kat’s Strictly-Business Partner.”

Please vote for A or B! Or if you have a better C, leave that here. And maybe you’ll be offered a free copy!–Lyn

Lyn Reviews Patricia McLinn’s Death on Torrid Ave.

booksbylyncote.com Posted on July 17, 2023 by Lyn CoteJuly 17, 2023

Death on Torrid Ave. (Secret Sleuth #2)Death on Torrid Ave. by Patricia McLinn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I recently reviewed book one of the series, “Secret Sleuth,” and here is my review a book two.

The heroine with her secret past, Sheila, has begun a new life in a Kentucky town. A quiet small town uneventful life is what she wants, right? And she gets it, right?

Of course, wrong! Sheila is one of those Jessica Fletcher kind of heroines who find bodies wherever they go!

I found the local dog park on Torrid Ave. to be an interesting place for a murder. And of course the victim– just like the one in Death on Diversion–was a person who would have won the most likely to be murdered, or at least assaulted, award. Some people aren’t happy, unless they are at odds with someone or everyone. Don’t be that person! You may not end up murdered but I wouldn’t chance it!
A thoroughly believable and enjoyable mystery with lots of furry friends!

Summer's End

 

Summer's End

A small town in the cross hairs of a ruthless man, a woman in danger, a doctor who will give anything to protect his town and keep her safe.

By summer’s end, will she still be alive?  

Doctors who are willing to practice in small rural towns are rare. Small town Steadfast spent the last seven years helping fund medical student Kirsi Royston’s education. In return, Kirsi contracted to practice medicine in the local clinic for six years. Now she has news the town won’t want to hear, especially young Dr Doug. Because of circumstances she hates, she must leave by summer’s end.

He can’t go on without her.

Dr. Doug’s 80-something grandfather deserves to retire. Doug can’t carry the load at the clinic alone. When a series of critical illicit-drug victims begin crowding his family’s three-generation clinic, he’ll do anything to protect Steadfast.Then the discovery of one unidentified body is more than anyone wants. Will there be more?

But will he be able to save her?

 All this triggers fresh anxiety from a recent experience of stalking which haunts Kirsi. If that’s not enough, the new threat to the small town focuses on her too.

In the midst of the deadly new situation in town and the threat against Kirsi, will these two good people finally believe that they too have a right to fall in love? Only if she survives…

Lyn Reviews Adriana Licio’s Death on the West Highland Way

booksbylyncote.com Posted on May 25, 2023 by Lyn CoteMay 25, 2023

Death on the West Highland Way (The Homeswappers #5)Death on the West Highland Way by Adriana Licio
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I am really enjoying this series by Adriana Lucio. Etta and Dora continue to intrigue me. And I’m especially intrigued by the way they have changed as their friendship has grown. They are both doing things that they didn’t intend to do a few months ago. But hiking a mountain over a rugged trail in Scotland seems to be quite the challenge. And a will with conditions adds even more intrigue and suspense as the heirs vie to win the prize of a Socttish castle and island. I love it. I never can figure out who did it in one of th ese mysteries. I also felt as though I had hiked through Scotland, including Loch Lomond. So if you’d like to take a trip with two charming Italian septagenarians, and their clever basset hound, this Mystery is for you!
