4.5 stars rounded up.

I am absolutely enamored with this series. I love the characters, the settings, the plots, everything. This latest installment didn't disappoint.

In this installment, many of our characters experience growth and changes in their lives. This is always great to continue to see in a series. When characters start to stagnate, it can spell the end of the series, so I'm thrilled to continue to see growth among the characters.

This installment took us away from the castle and into the Mermaid world. It's a great change in scenery and offers new locations for Imogen and her friends to utilize in their investigation.

The plot line moves along smoothly and at a steady speed. It's not so slow that you get bored, but it's not so fast that you can't keep up with the changes.

I thoroughly enjoyed the changes in various relationships and the characters themselves. I don't want to give anything away, so I won't elaborate on those changes.

Overall, while there's not that little extra pizzazz that's needed to push it up to a 5-star rating, it is a very solid 4.5 and I really enjoyed it. If you're just starting with the series, I do suggest you start with the first book, Seashells, Spells, & Caramels as there is important back story that you will need to understand things in the second and third installments.

With each book I read in this Spells & Caramels series, it becomes my new favorite book in the series. If you have been following the story (which I totally suggest starting from the beginning!) you'll know that death seems to always be at Imogens door step. The police chief of Bijou Mer isn't the sharpest or most caring tool in the shed so it is up to Imogen & friends to solve the latest murder.

Mermaid Fins, Winds & Rolling Pins doesn't disappoint with it's character development for all of your favorite main characters plus it brings you more information to the magical world that Erin has created. The murder mystery was well placed, and logical for the story. I love Erins world and her story telling.

The perfect cozy mystery for your evening read! Can't wait to read the 4th installment! ( )

Just too slow for me didn’t bother to finish. ( )

I love mermaids and cozy mysteries, so to get my hands on Mermaid Fins, Winds & Rolling Pins by Erin Johnson was quite the treat.

Imogene is a Swallow. No, it is not an erotic thing, but a magical power and hunky Hank, the Prince is teaching her how to use it.

A trip to the Mermaid Kingdom and a murder will have Imogene, Hank and her band of merry bakers working the investigation.

I love all the magical creatures, some new to me, and we even have some rambunctious pirates. I love Iggy, but ya gotta be careful because ya might get burned.

How would you like to be able to swallow a sea bubble, grow fins and gills, changing into a mermaid and swimming the ocean blue? Oh man, I sure would.

The fabulous world building leads to an adventure I am so glad I didn’t miss. This light, humorous mystery is full of characters to laugh with, love with, and fear for. Even in this world of beauty, someone must die to create an undersea mystery of a fresh kind.

This is Book III, but I had no trouble following the mystery, and even though not all questions will be answered, this particular mystery is solved and it left me wanting to read more. I call that…a job well done.

I voluntarily reviewed a free copy of Mermaid Fins, Winds & Rolling Pins by Erin Johnson.
