Editorial Reviews

Review

"Loveda is a spunky, corset-wearing, gun-toting main character, very likeable, whose gritty wit, courage, and detecting skills grab you right from the start and keeps you intrigued right to the end; and this story is such a refreshing and delightful diversion from the meaty historical fiction which is more common in the genre—a quick, fun mystery that you can zip through in an evening..." — The Historical Fiction Co. ★★★★

"Running the hotel and keeping guests happy is a full-time job, but when a body is found, she has more to contend with than demanding newlyweds. Matters escalate from there as suspects are revealed, and she soon learns of a kidnapping. Surrounded by eccentric characters and situations faced during the period, Loveda deals with her most challenging mystery yet. A charming blend of historical fiction and murder mystery, Loveda Brown Comes Home is humorous, lighthearted, and clever with themes of the period flawlessly woven in." — Reader's Favorite ★★★★★

Laugh out loud funny!
After reading book 1 in 2 days, I grabbed book two immediately. Despite my better judgment with my TBR list a mile long, I dove into LOVEDA BROWN COMES HOME with curiosity ready for a good time. I was not disappointed. From page 1, I was welcomed to more hijinks and poppycock with Idlywild's cast of lovable characters. The plot, while fascinating, couldn't hold a candle to the characters. Ms. Tunnell has a Keen eye for character development and fascinating twists!

    Laughed my way through this murder mystery, humor laden, touched with romance book as Loveda proved her mettle once again. How I wish libraries carried the ebook version of this author's series, not just the Hoopla versions. I'll do what I can, though, to read some more. If you like murder mysteries but with plenty of humor and twists and turns, be sure to check out this author.

    A look of the early west. A murder in the past and a creative way being solved. Boy Scouts in the past and how interesting how they join up in the solving the murder. Read and enjoy.

    Wonderful story! I really enjoy how easy it is to slip into the setting and enjoy the telling of this tail. It has so many twists, many times I asked if I truly was seeing the foreshadowing. I also want to say great job on grammar and spelling. Out of two books I've only seen one misspelled word. Fantastic!

    Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2022

    Maybe I should have seen it coming, but the end of this mystery caught me completely flat-footed. As is typical, it all starts off so innocently. And yet, by no fault of her own, Loveda gets caught up in another murder mystery and is more than a match for the new deputy who enjoys trying out all the new-fangled crime fighting technologies. The energy and excitement continually builds throughout. I usually try to read a chapter a night, but I kept needing to read "just one more". And by the time I was 2/3's of the way through I found myself up late because I just couldn't put it down and had to finish it. Thrilling and enjoyable with plenty of good winks and nods and chuckles thrown in.

    From its amusing initial scene right through the hilarious finale, this is the most entertaining cozy mystery I've read in ages. What a cast of characters! The book was well-written, and dozens of red herrings were thrown at the reader, keeping one on one's toes throughout. The author has a real gift for making her characters come alive for the reader. I will definitely backtrack to read the first book, but plenty of "fill in the blanks" info is provided so that this second book can be read as a stand-alone.

    The first several paragraphs w see e not conducive to further reading, but I continued reluctantly. The predicament should have been the lead paragraph. This should have Bern caught by the editor or the author. Then the predicament became unbelievable. With such a bad start, I had no desire to continue reading.
