Duffy Brown’s Consignment Shop Mystery series is one of my all-time favorites!  The characters are not only lovable, but their antics and dialogue are laugh out loud funny! 😆  There’s a bit of romance  added to the cozy mystery for an all-around satisfying story.  I highly recommend this series, and you should begin with the first book, if possible.  Happy Reading! 📚


LETHAL IN OLD LACE by Duffy Brown
A Consignment Shop Mystery #5
Release Date: March 13, 2018

5 Star Review by Linda Langford at Chatting About Cozies

Fans of Duffy Brown’s Consignment Shop Mysteries have waited a long time for “Lethal in Old Lace,” and I’m thrilled to say this story is worth the wait!  Easily the most comedic cozy series I know of; protagonist Reagan Summerside, her mother Judge Gloria, her Aunt Kiki, and several of the awesome recurring supporting characters such as Big Joey, Mercedes, and Earlene, are tagged to help Reagan steal a casket with a corpse from the funeral home and hide it.  Then, they must track down a mysterious second corpse that’s making rounds about town.  What the heck!? The mystery concerns a swindler and Kiki and Gloria go undercover in an assisted living home where drama Southern-style ensues.  Aunt Kiki’s serving martini’s on the porch! LOL!

I had a suspicion about the culprits; however, the final reveal was certainly surprising.

I love that Walker Boone and Reagan are rapidly moving forward with their relationship. ❤️ Bruce Willis, the rescue pup is as loveable and brave as ever.  I highly recommend this book and the entire series!

I voluntarily read and reviewed a digital ARC provided by NetGalley and Crooked Lane Books.
