Death Comes to Town (Darcy Sweet #1) by K.J. Emrick
The story was fun, and the characters were intriguing. Small town drama as you'd expect. The writing left more to be desired. The book repeated it self many times, as if we forgot key points in the investigation etc. as we were reading.
I have never read any books in the Darcy Sweet series, but I see there are tons and tons of them. At least 30 books.
I love Cozy Mystery Series and I tend to grab any free books I can from Kobo. Also many Cozy Book Authors offer up their first books for free, to get future readers interested.
This book is a collection of short stories about Darcy Sweet before the very first book - although this particular set of short stories was not written until between 2012 and 2019.
Darcy has inherited the family "curse" which is that she can see ghosts. Her mother cannot cope with this and so she leaves her teenage daughter (Darcy) with her Aunt Millie. Aunt Millie is Darcy's great aunt - who can also see ghosts. Millie teaches Darcy how to use her gift (or curse) and solve mysteries.
The first 5 stories help Darcy get settled into the new town and school that is now her home. She has several mysteries to solve but they are simple things such as theft, grand theft auto etc. The last story takes place when Darcy is 18 years old. This one involved her first murder. The victim happened to be a class mate from school.
I also have a bind up of the first 6 books in the Darcy Sweet Series and I cannot wait to get into them. The "Early Years" Book has definitely gotten me interested.… (more)

This was a very quick read, cozy mystery. Darcy Sweet is the owner of a bookstore that she inherited from her aunt, who's ghost now inhabits the store. Darcy has visions/dreams and can see ghosts. When her friend, Anna, turns up dead, Darcy tries to find the killer. Grace, her sister, is a police officer and Jon, her sister's partner, adds a little romance. The characters were not well developed, but I am hoping we learn more about them in future books.
Cozy mysteries are always a fun read
