Burglars Blintzes Moorehaven Mysteries Book 2 edition by Morgan C Talbot Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks

After the debut book in the Moorehaven Mysteries series last year, I was very excited to read the next one, Burglars & Blintzes from author Morgan C. Talbot. I may have messaged her a few times asking (demanding?) when the next would be released, but I won't say how many times. A few weeks ago, I learned it was ready for publication and I got an early release. I was super excited and it definitely delivered on all counts!

Pippa runs a bed & breakfast that she inherited from her uncle. It was previously home for a famous author she adored and whom her family became close with over the years. It's used exclusively for writers who need a retreat to discover their muse or find some silence to pen their latest mystery. Unfortunately, most writers learn there is often more mystery and action at Moorehaven than they include in their novels. In this caper, a dead body washes ashore during the impact of a typhoon off Oregon's Pacific Coast. Gold coins missing for several centuries suddenly turn up, inciting a surge of looters looking for a quick win. And a youthful rivalry from years ago comes full force when it turns out the deceased is someone who'd been missing for a long time and who knew Pippa's uncle quite well. As Pippa caters to her writers and tries to build her relationship with Lake, the handsome boat pilot, various side stories begin to intersect when more accidents happen and long-buried secrets come to light. Will Pippa survive or does the killer make an attempt on her life, too? I suppose you'll have to read in order to know what happens...

Talbot's scenery, descriptions and setting are top-notch for readers. Among references to famous authors, books and literary concepts, we find a charming yet spooky mansion filled with history and secrets. All sorts of author types pop up throughout the book sharing stories about their own characters and/or how they build a mystery. One of them almost always is involved with the actual crime happening, but it's our job as readers to figure it out. A mystery within a mystery of sorts... sounds fun, right?

Pippa is also a fantastic leading character and sleuth. While she tries to stay away from the investigation, she's pulled in when the people around her are suspected of being the culprit. Talbot builds a tug-of-war for us to constantly shift our thoughts on how involved Pippa should get, but it's in the normal daily running of the inn where we fall even harder for her. She's just a wonderful main sleuth and her on-going battle with the new Chief of Police makes it all the more interesting. The town is full of supporting characters who have fun or curious side stories to keep us immersed in a fantastic world.

Like many other cozies, food plays a big role in this series. While not a central focus, and more just a common theme throughout, I craved blintzes, of course. There's a delectable recipe in the back, perhaps I'll test it out one day. I'm excited with this sophomore release in the series and can't wait to see where Talbot takes us in the third one hopefully sooner rather than later. It's quickly becoming one of my more favorite series even with only two in it so far. Kudos to the author and the publishing team behind this one...

Burglars Blintzes Moorehaven Mysteries Book 2 edition by Morgan C Talbot Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks Reviews

This is the second book in the Moorehaven Mysteries Series from author Morgan C. Talbot. Moorehaven is a Bed and Breakfast run by Pippa and her Uncle Hilt. It is unique in that it is solely for authors to come and stay, they then can write their novels, meet in groups to discuss their writing and/or plots. The house was originally owned by an author Raymond Moore who died and left it to Hilt, who converted it in to a B&B.

As in the first book Smugglers and Scones there is a mystery to solve and delicious food! Burglars and Blintzes is written from Pippa’s point of view, I really love her character, she is running the B&B, she’s there for her authors and also for her friends. She loves her uncle Hilt and boyfriend Lake and she goes above and beyond to help everyone and anyone.

Moorhaven Mystery Two was like putting on a favourite cardi. Having read the first book it was so lovely to connect with all the previous main characters again. I couldn’t wait to read it and wasn’t disappointed. It has been well written has a good choice of language and a convincing plot, which developed throughout the book. The outcome wasn’t predictable so kept the anticipation right to the end. It is packed full of action beginning with a tsunami, which Pippa and her guest watch from the B&B rooftop. Pippa and Lake take on some heroic tasks all of them plausible and relevant to the storyline. Also a nice touch of ending the book with a recipe for Blintzes!

I Definitely recommend this book as it is a really good read made more enjoyable as I had read the first book in the series. If you are going to read this book, make sure you read book one, Smugglers and Scones, first.

*I received a free copy of this book, which I voluntarily reviewed
I read book 1, Smugglers and Scones, and Burglars and Blintzes one right after the other. I think when a reader does that they might have a more positive experience since elements are reinforced. (May explain why romance trilogy are sometimes released in a three month time span instead of 1 a year.) I liked both books. While a B&B setting isn't new for a cozy series, the situation here with the B&B being funded by a trust and solely for mystery authors is. (I would have liked that set up to have been spelled out a little better though.)

The plot lines in both books were really different as well. I also liked the mix of characters, both permanent and visiting. Perhaps the visitors could have gotten even more involved. Oh, the joy of being a mystery writer and having a real mystery fall into your lap!! There was some feeling of that, but I felt it could have been enhanced.

Still, I liked both and am looking forward to a third.

I received copies of both books from Netgalley in exchange for my honest review.
