Welcome to book review twenty of fifty-three for this year’s virtual coffee shares. I’ve picked books related to the Brewing Coffee, Twisting Words & Breaking Pencils theme: coffee, books, and puzzles.
A Page of Murder
Author Penny Brooke
Published in March 2021
Publisher is Independently Published
Available in Kindle (170 pages) and Mass Paperback
Amateur Sleuths | Cozy Craft & Hobby Mysteries | Kindle eBooks
A Page of Murder is the first book in the Seabreeze Bookshop Cozy Mystery Series. The story has good pacing and a perfect amount of intrigue. The characters are likable. It is a cute and cozy read.
If we were having coffee, I would share a sample from Vizard’s audiobook. It is just over three minutes long.
If we were having coffee, I would share a picture of Riggs and me. I have been working on character profiles for my new book and Riggs is an inspiration for an animal character in that book.

If we were having coffee, I would share that Mother’s Day was wonderful last week. It was sunny and nice. So, I got out for a couple of walks. My family gave me a thoughtful gift bag: a new puzzle, a new book, some compression socks, and my first French press. We had burgers and corn and watched a movie in the evening.

Vizard is available in audiobook format:

It was a good day.
Riggs is a character and his facial expressions definitely add to his cuteness.
Thank you, Jennifer. I hope you enjoy the sample and would love to hear your thoughts.

Riggs is so cute! He would make a great model for a character. Who is the reader? I can’t imagine being able to read that smoothly or crisply. Well done! 🙂
