As soon as I saw the title of this book, I had to read it! Dolly All the Time: A GMA Book Club Pick Contemporary Women's Fiction/Romance/Comedy Setting - Rhode Island Publisher ‏ : ‎ G.P. Putnam's Sons Publication date ‏ : ‎ May 26, 2026 Print length ‏ : ‎ 400 pages Hardcover ISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ 979-8217185054 ASIN ‏ : ‎ B0FQH54TN1 Paperback ISBN-10 ‏ : ‎ 0593853970 ISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ 978-0593853979 Kindle ISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ 978-0593853986 ASIN ‏ : ‎ B0FNVHX96C Audiobook : ASIN B0FPGMSSQK If they start by pretending, can they end with something real? Dolly Brick has never met a problem she couldn’t solve. Not when her mom left when she was twelve, and not at thirty-nine when she moves with her son back to Whitfield, Rhode Island, for the summer to keep her dad and brother from losing the family home. So when she comes across Stewart Whitfield—annoyingly handsome scion of the Whitfield family—with a flat tire and at the wrong end of a very public, very humiliating breakup, it’s in her nature to help. But Stewart’s proposed arrangement ends up being more than either of them bargained for, because as public dinners and high-society benefits turn into sunset boat rides and kisses that hit her bloodstream like a ghost pepper, Dolly starts to feel something more than helpful. She’s never relied on anyone besides herself—can she really start now? Dollycas's Thoughts Dolly Brick is a problem solver. She has been handling a lot since mom left their family behind when she was 12-years-old. Now she is thirty-nine, and she needs to return home, Whitfield, Rhode Island, with her thirteen-year-old son, Gus, to help her dad and brother following a house fire. They usually make monthly trips, but this is going to take time to handle. Stewart Whitfield is the powerful heir apparent to the CEO role at Whitfield Industries. He rarely spends time in Whitfield, but when Dolly sees him on the side of the road with a flat tire, she is surprised, and she offers to help. She deals with a classroom of kindergartners; surely, she can handle Stewart Whitfield and his ignorance in changing a tire. He soon tells her about his headline-making breakup with his fiancée. When Stewart and Dolly meet again, he makes a very interesting proposal. It could help her do a lot for her family. It's a complicated arrangement that takes a fun twist. It starts out with Dolly accompanying him to high-society events and public business dinners, but the romantic tension is thick. Soon, it's sunset boat rides and some ultra-hot kissing sessions. Can this be progressing into a true relationship? Or will it crash and burn like all her romantic relationships? _____ I usually read mysteries, but this book was the change of pace I needed last week. Dolly is a strong, down-to-earth, working three jobs. She is a kindergarten teacher in Boston, the call center operator for a small sporting goods company, and when she is home, she steps in where needed in the family business, Brick Fish House. She is a mom to Gus, a sister to Patsy and Christopher. Patsy is busy with her own family and rarely visits. Christopher suffered a head injury when he and our mom were in a car accident when he was eight. He needs many medications to "even out his disposition. " Dolly feels responsible to fix and take care of everything and everyone. Money is always tight, so she needs to be extra resourceful. I enjoyed that she kept her head and stayed true to herself from beginning to end. Gus is a terrific young man. He grew throughout the story. The family dynamic, sans Patsy, is heartwarming and relatable. Stewart Whitfield's life appears to be publicly imploding. He thinks the idea he presents to Dolly will right the ship to help him secure the coveted CEO position he has been working tirelessly toward for a long time. I loved his sister, Busy. His mother had some genuine caring moments, too. Busy is the only member of his family who knows his arrangement with Dolly. I don't want to give too much away. Ms. Monaghan has created characters with depth and put them in believable situations. This story could have come off as cheesy or campy, but the author's treatment of the plot and theme made it so much more than a typical romcom. This Dolly found Dolly All the Time to be fabulous! A Perfect Escape! It would be an outstanding beach read or a smashing rainy weekend read. This is the first book I have read by Annabel Monaghan, but it won't be the last.

As Molly starts asking questions, she uncovers a web of grudges involving tenants, activists, and business owners.

The Cold Case and the Corpse (A Food Blogger Mystery) Cozy Mystery 8th in Series Setting - Connecticut Publisher ‏ : ‎ Beyond the Page Publishing Publication date ‏ : ‎ November 19, 2025 Print length ‏ : ‎ 230 pages Paperback ISBN-10 ‏ : ‎ 1966322429 ISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ 978-1966322429 Kindle ISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ 978-1966322412 ASIN ‏ : ‎ B0G15X98ZV When foul play pays a visit to a snowy mountain retreat, Hope Early will have to battle the elements to catch a cold-blooded killer . . . With her first cookbook about to be published, food blogger Hope Early decides it’s the perfect time to attend a weekend retreat with a life coach and take her career to the next level. Her hopes for a life-changing experience are soon dashed, however, when she realizes the woman’s wisdom is nothing more than buzzwords and hollow clichés. Suspecting she’s a fraud, Hope discovers the woman is a longtime con artist and is even linked to an unsolved murder. But before she can learn more, someone puts an end to the life coach’s scam—permanently. News of the murder has put everyone at the retreat on edge, and the stakes are raised when a fierce snowstorm threatens to strand them all there with the killer. With everyone a suspect and at least one other person pretending to be someone they’re not, Hope’s determined to unearth any clues that link the victim’s sordid past with someone at the retreat. But the killer is dead set on stopping Hope in her tracks, and what started as a weekend to build an exciting future turns into a struggle to survive another day . . . Includes mouthwatering recipes! Dollycas's Thoughts Food Blogger Hope Early's first cookbook will be published soon. Thinking this will send her career in a new direction, she decides to attend a life coach's weekend retreat at a nearby lodge to help her make the transition. Traveling there was quite an adventure in a snowstorm. Hope picks up her sister Claire and her best friend, Drew, who is covering the event for the Gazette. Mayor Maretta Kingston is also attending the Limitless Living retreat. A few others round out the group. Sadly, during the first session, Hope realizes the retreat is basically a scam, with the same old buzzwords and platitudes. It isn't long before she uncovers the woman's shady past, including being linked to a cold case murder. Unfortunately, before she can reveal more, she finds life coach, Maisie Cox, dead. As the snowstorm rages on outside, roads get shut down and power lines are falling, everyone realizes they are trapped in the lodge with a killer. But who? Is it someone on the lodge's staff? The deceased assistant? Another retreat attendee? Hope is determined to find out, and the killer is determined to make sure she doesn't. _____ Hope is very down-to-earth and always busy. She treasures the time she spends with her fiancee, ex-police chief Ethan, and his daughters, Molly and Becca. She left her dog Bigelow, Poppy the chicken, and Princess the cat in Ethan's care while at the retreat. He worries about Hope and does all he can to keep her safe. Mayor Maretta is fit to be tied throughout most of the story. She doesn't trust the town's employees to do their jobs unless she is right there or on the phone to supervise. Claire has something on her mind she is not willing to share. Drew is missing his puppy Trixie, but hopes to pen a major exposé about all the weekend's happenings. Amy has a true-crime podcast whose investigation has turned up more dirt on the deceased. All of Ms. Sennefelder's character continues to develop in realistic ways. I enjoy the tight friendships that have grown across the series. I thought revealing the killer would be pretty straightforward, as it was a closed-room (lodge) mystery. Still, it was complicated by suspects and the deceased hiding their true identities, and by the fact that, aside from our core characters, everyone was hiding something. Also, there were a plethora of secrets that needed to be revealed. Hope really pressed to get answers, but the case was not solved when they were rescued from the snow and returned home.  Hope was not giving up, but she let her guard down at the wrong time, and it could have cost her dearly. There is "never a dull moment on Fieldstone Drive," and Hope sure gave everyone something to talk about. The Cold Case and the Corpse was an entertaining read with fun characters and a well-plotted mystery. Winter in Jefferson, Connecticut, reminds me of the winters in Wisconsin. They can be a great time, right up until you're stuck somewhere you don't want to be. I did enjoy the ending, and an announcement made me very happy. The 9th installment of this series, A Cultivated Corpse, will be released on June 16, and I will be featuring it on an upcoming Cozy Wednesday. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. Thank you to Beyond the Page Publishing and NetGalley for providing me with an ARC.

Welcome to Cozy Wednesday! I am happy to share my thoughts today about The Diva Hosts a Murderer by Krista Davis! The Diva Hosts a Murderer (A Domestic Diva Mystery) by Krista Davis About The Diva Hosts a Murderer The Diva Hosts a Murderer (A Domestic Diva Mystery) Cozy Mystery 19th in Series Setting - Old Town, Alexandria, Virginia Publisher ‏ : ‎ Kensington Cozies Publication date ‏ : ‎ May 26, 2026 Print length ‏ : ‎ 336 pages Hardcover ISBN-10 ‏ : ‎ 1496743482 ISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ 978-1496743480 Digital ISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ 978-1496743503 ASIN ‏ : ‎ B0FP7LXJ8C Audiobook ASIN B0FVW9XKRW Old Town Virginia’s entertaining guru and occasional sleuth Sophie Winston – a young Martha Stewart in the making – juggles Fourth of July fireworks, a houseful of guests, and homicide in the latest Domestic Diva culinary mystery from New York Times bestselling author Krista Davis. With a big crowd descending on her Northern Virginia home, it’s a good thing event planner Sophie Winston is an expert at entertaining. Whipping up patriotic pastries is as easy as pie for her, though meeting the man her widowed Aunt Melly just impulsively married in Las Vegas is a little more awkward. Especially when Melly’s longtime, now-heartbroken secret admirer is there too, which could lead to some fireworks. But the house party really gets explosive when Sophie’s favorite tour guide falls victim to a killer—and evidence points to Sophie’s own father. Will DNA really incriminate her dad? And what’s the real story with her new uncle-by-marriage and the mysterious pal he’s brought along with him? Some of the secrets Sophie’s discovering are raising flags—and while the police department casts suspicion on her father, she has to declare her independence as a detective to find the real culprit, and serve justice along with her red, white, and blue cupcakes . . . Includes delicious recipes, fabulous decorating tips, and easy entertaining hacks! Dollycas's Thoughts Fourth of July in Old Town, Virginia, brings several family members and their friends to event planner Sophie Winston's home. Her parents, her Aunt Melly, and her new husband, Gus, her sister, Hannah, and family friends, Roscoe O'Brien and Cyril Chevalier, who has been sweet on Melly forever. Gus's friend, Stan, came to town as well, but is staying elsewhere. Newcomer Gus makes everyone a little uncomfortable. His marriage to Melly was very spur-of-the-moment. Sophie rented a tour bus with a driver/guide to keep everyone entertained sightseeing around Washington D.C. Tony Fontana had plenty of stories to share and made sure everyone had a good time. When Tony's dead body is found on a neighbor's lawn, everyone is shocked. Even more shocking, Sophie's dad, Paul, is hauled in when his DNA is found on Tony's body. Sophie is not going to stand for that. She is going to start by looking into her new uncle and his friend, and go from there. Determined to remove the police's target from her dad's back, she is going to find the true murderer and serve him his just desserts. ____ Nineteenth book in the series, and these characters are all going strong. I looked forward to each new installment of this series to catch up with Sophie, Mars, Nina, Bernie, Humphrey, and Natasha. There is always trouble brewing in Old Town, but there is plenty of fun along the way, too. The character development feels natural, and the relationships continue to ring true. Each chapter opens with Sophie or Natasha responding to a letter asking for advice, and those exchanges highlight just how different the two women still are, even as they have learned to tolerate each other better. I also liked that Sophie's house was full of family for the holiday. Sophie has to look at suspects staying under her roof and those staying elsewhere as she tries to find a connection between her tour guide and others in her sphere. Neighbor, Dollie Peabody, swears she hears and sees things in her house, but by the time the police arrive, they find nothing. Gus is really sketchy. Could he be involved? Someone is leaving gifts for Melly, and it's not Gus. Hannah is staying out late with no explanation, but Sophie has some ideas. She knows her sister has nothing to do with Tony's death. When another dead body is found, it shakes up everything. Sophie has a houseful and a handful as she tries to juggle everything going on in and around her house, but her friends are always ready to help. Ms. Davis throws in some wonderful twists and red herrings that keep the mystery moving. Not to be left out, Natasha throws a holiday party, "the most coveted event of the year," with the theme of 1826 and proper period attire required. Even then, Sophie has solving the murder on her mind. Holiday gatherings always come with a little drama, and having family and friends move in for the season only adds to the chaos. Sophie handles it all with remarkable patience. She cooks, cleans, plans sightseeing outings, helps Aunt Melly through a difficult time, shows up for her neighbor when needed, and somehow still manages to track down a murderer. Honestly, we could all use a Sophie in our lives, but they are not easy to find. The Diva Hosts a Murderer is a sensational addition to this series from New York Times Bestselling Author Krista Davis. Engaging characters with warmth, grace, and wit, a wonderful area rich in history, a terrific whodunit, and some tempting summertime recipes perfect for your 4th of July celebrations, check every cozy mystery box.  Whether you are a long-time fan, have just read a few books in the series, or are brand new to The Diva . . . series, you will love these characters.
