There’s much to enjoy about this series. What I appreciate most is that Liz and Nate don’t have a lot of conflict between them. They have an “us against the world” mentality instead of having constant strife in their relationship. I wish more authors realized this storytelling device is not only an option, but a very welcome one with a large populous of readers. Exterior conflict that allows the bond between characters to deepen and shine is a beautiful thing. Initially, I thought there was a bi...

Awesome addition to series...4.5*

Oh I am annoyed I bought this. What a lackluster book. I used to really enjoy the "Liz Talbot" mysteries, but geez, the last three have been a bunch of well that happened. I think I was ultimately dissatisfied by the main mystery (how did a man end up in the middle of the road hit by a car) and then we still have the never ending nonsense with Liz and her dreams about the end of Stella Maris. Colleen is not in this one that much (not complaining) but she really doesn't add much to the book. The ...

*I received a free copy of this book from Netgalley which I voluntarily chose to write an honest review for.What an incredible addition to this series! We get follow Liz as she investigates what may be a hit and run murder or it could be something else. Her P.I. duo is hired through some odd means and the questions just keep piling up from there. Of course these all lead to a conclusion that I really did not see coming which is always nice. I love the addition of the guardian spirit as this prov...

I absolutely love this series and can't recommend it enough-and Lowcountry Bookshop is no exception. This book, like the rest of the series, is a great, cozy mystery-light enough to keep it on the cozy side, but with enough detail and seriousness to keep you guessing. Think of it as an episode of The Mentalist versus Law and Order. The characters are believable and very real-they feel like people you know. The relationships draw you in. The plot keeps you guessing. Furthermore, if you love the S...

Thank you to NetGalley and Henery Press for a digital galley of this novel.Book number seven in the Liz Talbot Mystery series was another visit with the folks I've come to know in Stella Maris and Charleston, South Carolina. After reading one of these books I always have the strongest urge to fly to Charleston and eat in all the wonderful restaurants Liz goes to. But then I also want to be invited to Momma's house for either Wednesday dinner or Sunday lunch. Oh, well, I can dream. I also have th...

Lowcountry Bookshop is the seventh book in Susan Boyer’s Liz Talbot Mystery series. Ms. Boyer provided enough character background that this book can be read as a standalone. There is no gratuitous sex or violence, but there is a little more adult language than one usually finds in a cozy. This is an easy read and moves along at a relaxed but steady pace, providing readers with a well-crafted mystery, well-developed characters, Southern charm, humorous situations, and just a touch of paranormal....
