BOOKS FROM THE BACKLOG
If you’re anything like me, you have lots of books in your reading pile that you haven’t read yet. Books that you’d love to get through, but you just keep adding more and more books to that pile and soon they are forgotten about. Books from the Backlog is a great way to feature those books and hopefully move them up on your reading list.
THIS WEEK’S NEGLECTED BOOK
Pub Date 28 Sep 2021
ABOUT THE BOOK
There’s nothing like autumn in picturesque Goosebush, Massachusetts, but beneath the season’s sun-dappled foliage, Lilly Jayne and her Garden Squad must investigate a shadowy murder mystery after a theater owner’s sudden death sows as much drama behind the scenes as on any stage…
Lilly Jayne typically spends the harvest season baking festive pies and crafting colorful wreaths to enter in the library’s annual fundraising contest. But this year, autumn opens on a somber note when beloved local theater owner, Leon Tompkin, dies unexpectedly. His memorial sets the scene for a mini reunion of The Goosebush Players’ best and brightest alumni, including Hollywood star, Jeremy Nolan…until someone plucks Jeremy from the spotlight, permanently.
Now, as dedicated theater volunteer, Scooter McGee, falls under suspicion, Lilly and her Garden Squad must spring into action. They quickly discover a cornucopia of potential suspects in Jeremy’s murder. Was it an embittered ex…or a jilted lover? A rival thespian…or an overly ambitious artist? Lilly rakes through the piles of clues, but if she doesn’t uncover the real killer soon, more than autumn leaves will be dropping in Goosebush…
WHY I ADDED IT TO MY LIST
2021 is the year I started reading cozy mysteries. You might say, I went a little crazy and requested too many from NetGalley. Never too many books though, right? Slowly working my way through my cozy pile.
What about you, have you read this one? Would you read it?

While I read a variety of books, I always enjoy a good cozy.

I’d say the same thing about myself. In the past few days, I’ve finished a few Halloween cozies but haven’t had a chance to review them yet. Too busy outside hiking. We are taking advantage of the beautiful weather before it gets too cold.

It is so easy to get carried away on NetGalley isn’t it?! I do love a good cozy and I hope that you enjoy this one.

A little too easy and I’m not sure whether approvals are a good or bad thing sometimes. 😂 Thank you, slowly catching up. All I can do is keep plugging along one review at a time.
