Ratings and reviews

This author's books are well written, well thought out with interesting story lines and loveable characters. She also does not follow the Stupidity Formula that is so common nowadays with characters that cannot communicate, and act and think stupid. There aren't any silly misunderstandings. Bookstore Cozy Mystery Series: Magicians & Murder, #7 - Interesting story lines, good characters and a move with their romance. 4* Books and Bribes, #1 - Usually a romance writer, Ms. Race tells a good witchy tale quite a lot better than the usual dumb down Cozy. Good characters, talking animals and a sweet romance made for an entertaining, enjoyable read. 5* Catnaps & Crimes, #2 - Interesting. Romance become more of a focal point for the two best friends. It was easy to figure out the killer but still a good story with a good core of regular characters. 4* Tea & Trouble, #3 - There's another murder with all kinds of "I did it" confessions.
