ARC Review: Murder at Pirate’s Cove by Josh Lanyon

“This entire book felt like a really short read to me, but all the aspects of a good mystery are there.”
~ Under the Covers

I was so excited to learn that Josh Lanyon was going to write Cozy Mysteries! As a fan of Lanyon’s writing style and Cozy Mysteries, I was looking forward to seeing what a mystery series from a M/M author would be like. I loved the Adrien English series, so I had some high expectations for this new one.

First off, the backstory of Rhode Island offers a different feel right off the bat. It has a little bit of an eerie vibe to it, so I think it matched well with the genre. Another big concept of the series is pirates so it was nice to see Lanyon playing around with that.

I was a little slow to like Ellery, but I do enjoy the writing style. It’s a bit slower than the other Mysteries that I like to read, but I liked the fact that the murder happened quickly. This entire book felt like a really short read to me, but all the aspects of a good mystery are there. I think it has a promising start and I am definitely looking forward to more from Ellery and Carson.

Oh yeah, in case you’re wondering, there’s no on-screen sex or violence in this book.
