Chalices and Murder
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This book, set during St. Bartholomew's Week in Edwardian England is a fast moving little story. Cecily and her hotel are very busy with celebration preparations, and the hotel is full of guests when strange murders happen. That combined with the theft of a priceless chalice have Cecily working overtime with her ex-manager Baxter trying to get things sorted. These little books are enjoyable cozies with wonderful and warm characters. I enjoy each one.
This book was worth the wait.

Finally, the most recent installment of Kate Kingsbury's "Pennyfoot Hotel" series is out. Those of us who have been following the series have been waiting anxiously for this one, wondering what will happen next. Will Baxter come back? Will he ever sit down in Cecily's presence? Indeed, does he even have a first name? The one possible flaw in this book is that too much time is spent teasing the reader about what will happen between Cecily Sinclair, the owner of the Pennyfoot Hotel and Baxter, her former manager. But, and let's be realistic, isn't that why some of us were so antsy waiting for the release of this book? Several other old characters return in this book as well. While I did enjoy this book a great deal, it seemed to me that this book mainly was to rearrange the players and set the stage for the next book. But that is OK. It is still a good book and sometimes a rearrangement is neccesary. This is a wonderful book to take in a hot bath after a stressful day. I couldn't stop smiling after I read it. I highly reccomend this book, and the whole series in fact. Good, light, fun reading. Fans of light mysteries will definitely enjoy this one.
