My thoughts
This is one of my favorite cozy mystery series. I love that the author mixes history in her mysteries and that you can learn while reading a fun book. I also like that these are set in the Midwest. You can tell that the author really does her research before writing. The author describes the setting so well that I would enjoy taking a day to visit this living history museum. I have also enjoyed this author's writing style from the first book I have read by her. When Chloe found the skeleton in old cabin I was wondering why it was there and how she was going to solve how it got there. The author also shows us pictures of artifacts at the end of the book which I found interesting. I look forward to more books in this series.
