Fiona Fleming Cozy Mystery, Book 3
By Patti Larsen
Fame, fortune, and murder. Some guests bring more baggage than others.
Fiona Fleming has enough on her plate without getting caught up in Mayor Olivia Walker's latest tourism scheme. But when a celebrity couple arrives in Reading, Vermont, and the local ski lodge can't accommodate them, Fiona's bed and breakfast becomes the hottest address in town.
Willow Pink and Skip Anderson are famous, glamorous, and guaranteed to attract attention. Unfortunately, fame brings more than fans and flashing cameras.
When murder strikes, Fiona finds herself at the center of a deadly mystery. And with a ravenous media circus descending on Reading in search of the story of a lifetime, keeping the peace at her own inn becomes the least of her problems.
The suspects are under her roof, the pressure is mounting, and Fiona has no intention of letting a killer get away with murder just because the whole world is watching.
Can she uncover the truth before the headlines write a very different ending?

I discovered your books on Amazon because they known what I like and recommend books to me. I've enjoyed the two I have read and look forward to more.
Good series. Characters well written. Good plot. Nice way to spend an afternoon - reading an entertaining book and relaxing.
Ok, I have to admit now that I’m done with book three, I am starting to see a little pattern with the murders. But it’s ok, cause the over arching story is so good and I love all the characters so much! I really hope Larsen keeps these books coming! I have kindle unlimited and instead of reading from the thousand of free books I have access to, I am about to buy the fourth cozy mystery!
When power couple Skip Anderson and Willow Pink come to Reading, Vermont to help promote the small town. She's a famous and popular movie star and he's pro footballer on the downside of his career.Fee Fleming wants nothing to do with them or the parade that Mayor Walker is planning to help her promotion of the town to attract tourist.When the lodge the couple were staying at has to close for repairs, Fee comes home to find that the mayor has invited them to take over her B&B for the duration of their stay.All of a sudden Fee is in the lead carriage with Skip, who is drunk, and is being rude and obnoxious to everyone he can see.When they reach the end of the parade, Skip collapses literally pinning Fee down with a now dead body on top of her.The Coroner determines that he did not die of an "accidental" overdose. He was murdered.This is another fun addition to this series, and has some interesting surprises in it.
I love these books. I like the characters. I like the continuation of one story to another. I love Petunia. She sounds like all the pugs I’ve ever had

Finally romance is looking looks to b blossoming between Fee an Crew, about time, romance murders, a dog like petunia and greet friends, a great entertaining read.👍👍
I need a good plot - without any terror or anxious cliff hanging - when I travel. This series hits that on the nose. They are cleverly written although this one had quite a few typos which was a first in the series.
Interesting enough to make you want to read the next one in the series.
Enjoyable cozy mystery with an all-too-human heroine and her farting pug. Likable characters that leave you wanting more of their story in the next installment. Explore small town life, and the struggle of going home again. Great read!
Fiona Fleming series. I am on to book four and will be looking for a witch series. These stories are well thought out and just when I have the mystery solved, she flips the script and surprises me. Onward to more. TA TA
Obsessed with Pink myself I was quite excited that our starlet is named after her daughter Willow with Pink as a last name-clever clever Patti! Falling more in love with Fiona and Reading Vermont with each installment-just downloaded #4. You will love this series if you like comedy and mystery
Although I knew who the killer was immediately, I still enjoyed the journey to the end because the motivation was unclear almost until the very end. These books are a delight and such an easy read. Glad there are many more!
I loved this book. The whole series was great & I can't wait to read the next book in the series. But. I highly recomend this one. It had it all and. I love the closeness to her parents. I highly recommend it.
Absolutely love this series. Characters are engaging and come alive. The thirst to figure out the mystery and get involved regardless of consequences makes the lead character real.
Who knew Larsen could write murder mysteries? Not me. And, she writes them really, really well. I actually should have realized this. Her other novels are filled with mystery, and not easy to predict.This is the third in a series of mysteries featuring Fiona Fleming, a refugee from New York and an abusive, thieving, cheating boyfriend. She inherits a B&B from her grandmother, and moves home to Vermont to collect herself and run the place. She reconnects with her family, and childhood friends, (and some not so friends and family), and is instrumental in solving three murders in this little town.The stories are good ones. They are hard to figure out, although the reader does do this, shortly before the reveals. The timing in these instances is impeccable. There are lots of relationship skirmishes, in Larsen style, and a sloooooow moving romantic entanglement.I'm not really one for murder mysteries. I love sci-fi and paranormal. These little stories, however, are very good, and funny in Patti Larsen's usual, snarky way. I read the first book, out of fondness for Larsen, not thinking I'd get that into it. But, I did. I then plunged into the rest, and gobbled them up. You will, too. Buy them. They are delightful and worth the time you will spend reading them.5 Stars.
I chose this rating because I liked the story. It kept me doubting myself. I figured it was the bodyguard but kept second guessing myself.
Cannot wait for the next Fiona book release!I'm going through some bad times and these books are helping me deal.I don't know how I'd.get through my problems without them.Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts with other people.Keep them coming!!
This cozy is very too in the suspense area. Characters are not who they seem to be. Some returning home to their hometown of Reading and seeing their past. Who murdered Skip. Why? You must read this, and you'll find yourself immersed and wanting to read and find answers. I loved this book. Patti has penned some characters that are wild, crazy and just a bit overbearing. Good to read. Has danger, sarcasm, empathy, laughter to the. Looking for the next in this series, hopefully soon.
In book three of these amazing mysteries we find Fee and Company tackling the another murder. Skip Anderson, Readings Celebrity Footballer who married another Reading resident Willow Pink; a celebrity in her own right, a renowned actress. Their return to Reading is the start of story and how Fiona ends up involved in another murder.Not only does she get involved solving a murder she also finds out what her grandmother has been trying to tell her.Amazing stories that keep you turning the page. I cannot wait for book 4. I hope to be reading a lot more about Fiona, Petunia, Crew, Daisy and Reading.
Fame and Fortune and Murder a Fiona Fleming Cozy mystery book 3 Patti LarsonThree Strikes you're IT!!! With book 3 of Fiona Flemings cozy mysteries Ms Larson has done it again! Awesome writing, marvelous descriptions and wonderful story rules once again.The gang is all back, with Fiona and the Petunia B&B front and center! Well ok, actually, Petunia the Pug is most likely front and center….most likely on Fionas'' feet too boot!Sheriff Crew Turner has his hands full trying to find a murder when a home grown movie star and her husband come back home to do a parade and commercial that Mayor Olivia Walker has put together.When the ski lodge has a gas leak they've got nowhere else to go but Petunia's B&B! Which would be fine for Fiona. That is if the Jones sisters, who help Fe in the kitchen, hadn't decided to take a time out with all the media fiasco going on, if her best friend Daisy hadn't decided she needed to help with the production crew so she could decide if she liked it, and if Fe wasn't basically by herself with a boat load of people needing to stay at the B&B!The results are hilarious, complicated, and exhausting!Throughout all the drama Fe finds out who to trust, who is there for her, and exactly how to cope with reporters, holes in her fence, a sheriff who, of course, wants her to stay out of it, and a mother and father that are more than willing to jump into the fray! oh and of course a farthing burping pug!
