What I like about this series so far is that it's a cozy read with a touch of faith. So refreshing. Story and characters are well written. You feel like your part of the story as you get to know the characters. Can't wait to start the next one.... You won't regret starting this series.

You know what I love so much about S.C. Merritt’s cozy mysteries…. She doesn’t rely on repetition to write a book. So many cozies have the sleuth repeating the clues over and over while they solve the mystery. And while this may be how one does solve a murder mystery, I find myself skimming if this happens too much in a book.

Add to that her well developed characters, interesting locations, and a smidge of scripture and you know you’re in for a fantastic read.

In Dead in the Water, the first book in her Bucket List Mysteries, we are introduced to a retirement village full of fun and quirky characters, along with our sleuths Maisie and Dot. Our sleuths compliment each other so well with one being more orderly and she doesn’t coddle suspects and the other being a bit more creative and gentler during the interrogations.

But even better than a village full of interesting people, Dot and Maisie have decided to buy an RV and travel to various places on their bucket lists… so you know future books are going to be filled with lots of new locations, characters, and murder suspects. And if the older women need to recharge between trips we’ll be able to catch up with the people in the retirement village. I think Merritt has a real winning idea here with being able to have so many unique locations for each book.

If you are looking for clean cozies with lots of memorable characters and riveting settings, you should give Merritt’s books a read.

Potluck and Pandemonium by S.C. Merritt is a fabulous start to this cozy mystery series that has religious themes running throughout the story. But if you don’t usually read Christian Cozies, don’t let that scare you away! Merritt uses a light touch and I thought it enhanced the story… and I am not a church goer.

I loved reading about Alabama and the traditions that are long held there. The characters are well developed and are people I would love to hang out with. The food and camaraderie that is infused into the story was very enjoyable.

Merritt adds in enough red herrings to keep the reader guessing who the killer is, and I wasn’t sure until towards the end. To me, that’s always a good mystery.
I’m looking forward to reading more in the Sweetwater Springs Southern Mysteries, and highly recommend this wholesome series.

Cake and Corruption by S.C. Merritt is the sixth book in the Sweetwater Springs Southern Mysteries, and even though I haven’t read the previous books, I had no problem following along with what was happening.

Although I will say, in Cake and Corruption we find out Glory’s husband’s killer which would have had way more of an impact on me if I would have started with book one.
So don’t be like me and dive in with book six, instead start with book one, Potluck and Pandemonium!

Merritt’s cast of characters are wonderful. You get doses of sweet southern hospitality mixed strong faith values (which don’t get shoved down your throat), and the family dynamic is so nice to see because everyone communicates and you can really tell that they love each other. Combine that with The Family (aka mob) that is marrying into the family, and has been part of previous books, and you are in for a great reading experience.

The mystery had lots of layers to it too and Merritt is a master at keeping so many different story lines and suspects straight in the reader’s mind. All in all, a fantastic book and I highly recommend you check out the Sweetwater Springs Southern Mysteries.
