Sometimes, I like a good mystery. I don't need a nail-biting thriller that will leave me a sweaty mess (Although I could stand to lose a pound or three). I need a something warm and cozy. Hello, Cozy Mysteries!
Gena Showalter and Jill Monroe's Jill Ladling series is what we will talk about today. Do you have a mildly inappropriate sense of humor? Do you love retro fashion? Do you like to watch Ask a Mortician? Are in charge of a private graveyard? If you answered yes to any (or all) of those questions, this series is for you. I honestly think Caitlin would like this series. Just me though.
Romancing the Gravestone book 1
Jane Ladling is just doing her Grounds keeper rounds when she comes across a dead body. Well, a freshly dead body. In a grave. A hundred year old grave. So, she does what you're supposed to do. Fed her murder cat and called the sheriff.
She didn't expect the extremely hot Special Agent Conrad Ryan to show up and discombobulate her. Now she has a mystery to solve and a family curse (that exists in her mind alone) to hopefully break.
Jane is best described using a quote from the book. She is "organized chaos". She's funny, quirky, cute, and gives secondhand embarrassment out like it's participating trophies. Jane feels like that quirky friend who's social filter is half broken. She's adorably awkward.
I also suggest reading book 5 of the series after book 1 as it tells the tale of book one from Conrad's POV. His side of things is just as good.
As always, feel free to leave me a message below.
