Sunday's Book Murder and Mint Tea - Janet Lane Walters #MFRWauthor #BWLPublishing #Mystery #cozy

Katherine is a retired nurse and a retired church organist. The small Hudson River village where she lives in her Victorian “Painted Lady” makes her the neighborhood matriarch. Along with her Maine Coon Cat Robespierre, she guards friends and families.

When amoral Rachel moves into the first floor apartment of Katherine’s house, trouble erupts. The murder weapon is one she recognizes and makes her fear for her friends and family. Finding the killer becomes her goal.

Editorial Review
Murder and Mint Tea is a gem in its genre, combining the voice of a classic American whodunit with that of a traditional British detective novel. Murder She Wrote meets Miss Marple in a beautifully crafted tale that makes the reader want to reach into the pages and dispense justice to the villainess themselves. ~ Writer Gail Roughton

4.0 out of 5 starsA Slice of Life with a Cup of Mint Tea

May 17, 2018

Format: Kindle Edition|Verified Purchase

Mrs. Katherine Miller spends her days enjoying her friends and family and she's anxious for a new tenant in her downstairs apartment. Her son, Andrew, has found a woman with two children who will sign a year's lease.
The woman, Rachel, turns out to be loud, obnoxious, neglectful of her children, and seductive to any man in her vicinity.
Katherine worries about the woman's abused daughter and takes Susie under her wing.
This is more a slice of life story than a mystery. The murder happens nearly at the end of the novel, and the perpetrator surprised me.
I enjoyed the different characters in the neighborhood and Katherine is kind and good-hearted. She should have been more assertive with nasty Rachel. The woman threatened her several times, and Katherine should have reported her to the authorities for that and the obvious child abuse, which might have gotten Rachel evicted.
Of course, that would have ruined the ending. A good read for a rainy day.

The only way for a cozy series to get better is to keep on slogging forward. Few were perfect right from the get go. We want and need more authors in the feline fiction genre. Hopefully Ms. Janet will do just that.

Format: Diskette

Katherine Miller, a 65-year-old retired nurse, loves her soothing mint tea. After a serious fall leaves her with a broken leg, her son Andrew takes it upon himself to rent out the bottom floor apartment of her house to Rachel Rogers and her two children, Tim and Susie. That's when the neighborhood begins going downhill.
Rachel is a mean woman who loves her self and what she can get from men. She doesn't care if they are married or not. There are so many people who dislike Rachel ...
I found this book to be very engaging and filled with the most wonderful cast of characters that you will love, especially Katherine who is gutsy even at 65 years of age
