Three romance mysteries in one book…
The setting is for all three books is Winter Break, Kansas.

Ivy Towers goes to Winter Break because of the death of her Aunt Bitty. Ivy returns to Winter Break, Kansas when she inherits her Aunt Bitty’s bookstore. Ivy’s old boyfriend is now the Deputy Sheriff. Together, he and Ivy investigate Bitty’s murder.

Bye Bye Bertie

When Ivy finds an old treasure map, she finds murder. Someone wants secrets left buried; they are willing to do anything to keep them that way. The romance between Amos and Ivy is building.

For Whom the Wedding Bell Tolls

The big day for Ivy and Amos is right around the corner. Ivy’s wedding coordinator is found murdered. Ivy is one of the suspects. The murder must be solved for the wedding to go on.


I enjoyed all three of these books. I eagerly turned the pages so that I could help catch the murderers. The best part of this series is the romance between Amos and Ivy. It developed at just the right speed. Well done, Ms. Mehl. ( )

Three romance mysteries in one book.
In the Dead of Winter: an Ivy Towers Mystery (#1)
Ivy Towers returns to Winter Break after inheriting her Aunt Bitty’s bookstore. She suspects Bitty’s death was not an accident. With the help of Sheriff Amos Parker, Ivy searches for the killer.
Bye Bye Bertie: an Ivy Towers Mystery (#2)
A hidden map, Ruby’s missing son, and a visit to Ivy’s mother add up to an entertaining mystery. There is even a recipe for Ruby Bird’s Stuffed Berry French Toast.
For Whom The Wedding Bell Tolls: an Ivy Towers Mystery (#3)
The wedding day is quickly approaching, and Ivy has procrastinated on some important details…like buying a dress and planning a wedding. Ivy asks Dela to be her wedding coordinator and then the woman turns up dead.
I am now a fan of Nancy Mehl. She had me laughing aloud. Mehl has the unique talent for combining humor, mystery, and romance. Her novels are extremely entertaining. I have only one complaint. The print is very small; it is difficult to read. Rush out for your copy of Cozy In Kansas. ( )
