A B.R.A.G. Honoree!




Maxine Berra and Lillian Garrett, sisters in their seventies, travel together to visit friends and relatives in Max's 1950 red Studebaker with her Irish Setter, Rosie. Does that mean they are amicable companions? Not at all. But when, during a family reunion, the murder of a family friend throws suspicion on their shiftless younger brother, they put their heads together to try to save him.

Review

I enjoyed this book - it had all the requirements of a cozy mystery. Loved Maxine and Lillian! Thought the plot was simple yetheld my attention. The author knows and understands small towns as is evident in the storyline and ultimate revealing of thekiller. I loved the cover - but I enjoy fun lighthearted ones. This was perfect for the story. I hope to read more by KarenNortman.- IndieBRAG Medallion reviewer

Karen Musser Nortman, after previous incarnations as a secondary social studies teacher (22 years) and a test developer (18 years), returned to her childhood dream of writing mysteries. Her first series, The Frannie Shoemaker Campground Mysteries, sprouted from numerous camping trips in Iowa and through at least 24 other states. The Frannie Shoemaker Mysteries center around a group of retirees who camp together and sometimes stumble over dead bodies. Six of the books have been designated IndieBRAG medallion honorees and three have been finalists in Chanticleer CLUE and Mystery and Mayhem contests. Most of the books are based on actual campgrounds.

Karen has two other series. The Time Travel Trailer series follows the adventures of Lynne McBriar who buys a vintage camper that turns out to be a time portal. The first in the series, by the same name, was the 2015 category winner in the Chanticleer Paranormal contest. The Mystery Sisters is a new series involving two seventy-something sisters who travel the country in a 1950 Studebaker, argue, annoy their relatives, and solve mysteries.

Karen has three children and eight grandchildren. She also loves reading, gardening, and knitting, and can recite the 99 counties of Iowa in alphabetical order.

    I enjoyed this audio book introduction to The Mystery Sisters series. The author gave me a story filled with personal details, lively banter, a faithful dog, while showcasing a small town murder mystery that I didn't figure out until the very end. It was a good "read".

    Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2018
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    An invite to a family reunion in Castleroll, Lil and Maxine haven’t been back in a number of years. Deciding to drive, with Max, headstrong and bossy, and Lil tried to ignore her, but they still fought most of the time. When murder happens and the suspect is a family member, they join with others to solve. This brings old grudges, resentment when families were laid off. Through it all, readers will laugh, at the family drama, and these two feisty sisters.

    I was looking for an easy and fun read and this was it! No convoluted twists and turns, no gore and dismembered parts. Two older ladies who go to a family reunion and one of them takes charge when their younger brother is suspected of a crime. Just the fun mystery escape I needed right now!

    3.0 out of 5 stars A bit slow
    Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2018
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Nothing at all objectionable in this quiet little cozy mystery, and I did enjoy the play of multiple generations of one family, working together to solve the mystery. The plot wasn't bad, either, with quite a few possible suspects, and the book was free of egregious errors in grammar or sentence structure. Nevertheless, the story dragged. Only a few scenes (such as the window break-in and squirrel attack) really got my attention. I won't rush to read another.

    I so enjoyed this new story by Karen Musser Norman! All Families have their own issues, not one family is perfect. Argue like they will, they will always come together to protect their own. This story had Adventure, humor and great supporting characters. I'm hoping this is not the last we will see of our mystery sisters! I like this book very much.

    A well crafted cozy mystery with an excellent mix of characters. The two lead characters sisters in their seventies who meet up with their family for a reunion, drive a classic car and find themselves investigating a murder with one of their family is arrested. The family relationship is realistic with its niggles and tensions. I enjoyed the relationship between the sisters who are feisty and have attitude. Great start to a series.
