Julia Buckley

The following was in a draft from October 2017...

I'm in a Goodreads group for cozy mysteries.  Each month they feature an author, and I've decided to try reading some of the featured author's works.

For September, the featured author was Julia Buckley.

I read the first book in the Writer's Apprentice Mystery series, A Dark and Stormy Murder.  I also (a little late - I think October 2nd?) finished the first book in her Undercover Dish Mysteries series, The Big Chili.

I enjoyed both, though perhaps The Big Chili a bit more.  I plan to continue both series.

I was concerned about a love triangle in A Dark and Stormy Murder, but, thankfully, the issue seemed to be resolved.  I enjoyed Lena and her cat.  The mystery itself was a nice introduction to the series.

In The Big Chili, the story was interesting, and the characters seemed vivid.  I liked both Lilah and (especially) her dog, Mick.
