Murder at Pirate's Cove: An M/M Cozy Mystery: Secrets and Scrabble 1

Written by Josh Lanyon

Narrated by Matt Haynes

First in an adorable new series!

Ellery Page, aspiring screenwriter, Scrabble champion, and guy-with-worst-luck-in-the-world-when-it-comes-to-dating, is ready to make a change. So when he learns he’s inherited both a failing bookshop and a falling-down mansion in the quaint seaside village of Pirate’s Cove in Rhode Island, it’s full steam ahead!

Sure enough, the village is charming, its residents amusingly eccentric, and widowed police chief Jack Carson is decidedly yummy (though possibly as straight as he is stern). However, the bookstore is failing, the mansion is falling down, and there’s that little drawback of finding rival bookseller—and head of the unwelcoming-committee—Trevor Maples dead during the annual Buccaneer Days celebration.

Still, it could be worse. And once Police Chief Carson learns Trevor was killed with the cutlass hanging over the door of Ellery’s bookstore, it is.

[Thorn Hill · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

It was an ok listening. An enjoyable mystery story but the romance was way too subtle.

[Jason Doerr · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

I had the feels for the cozy mystery vibes from page one.

Love a Cozy Mystery! This was a great story with bookshop owners, puppies, and shenanigans. The one with the sheriff and the bookshop owner. Lots of framing. And a hilarious break-in with puppy print evidence. OMG so cute.
