What readers say
A long-running series set in a small coastal Maine town, following Lucy Stone, a busy mother and part-time reporter who keeps stumbling onto murders. Readers enjoy the realistic family life, the holiday-themed books, the small-town community and quick, light reads, and many say the series improves after the first few books. Common criticisms are long stretches of domestic chores and family stress with little mystery, a heroine some find whiny, dated attitudes in early books and abrupt endings.
Best for: Readers who like everyday family life mixed into their small-town mysteries.
