Key item features

Bodies & Bows is the third in the charming cozy Iris Buckley mystery series set in an apron shop in Maine—Elizabeth Penney will have you on pins and needles…

Iris Buckley is hoping for a bit of rest and relaxation now that the summertime rush is winding down in Blueberry Cove, Maine. Her apron shop Ruffles & Bows has been a huge success, her friendships are stronger than ever, and now she’s ready for all of the end of summer cookouts on the beach that she can handle.

But before Iris can even turn on the grill, Bella’s latest fling, former Olympian sailor and gorgeous bad boy Lance Pederson is killed in a hit and run while jogging at dawn—and all the evidence points to Bella herself.

Suddenly the month of August isn’t looking so restful, since now Iris has been roped into the Lighthouse Rehabilitation Committee, helping her friend Sophie plan a wedding, and—most importantly of all—tracking down a killer and clearing Bella’s good name before everything unravels.

A charming cozy mystery

Bodies and Bows by Elizabeth Penney is the 3rd book in The Apron Shop Series. It can be read as a standalone for those new to the series, but I do not know why you would want to miss the first two books in this cute cozy mystery series. Iris Buckley and her grandmother, Anne owns Ruffles and Bows in the quaint town of Blueberry Cove, Maine. Ruffles and Bows sells vintage linens and aprons as well as new aprons made by Iris and Anne. I just love the descriptions of the vintage linens and the gorgeous aprons (I collect vintage aprons myself). Iris is a strong female character who wears vintage clothing (sometimes new clothes made from 1950s patterns). She is close to her grandmother and has good friends as well as a boyfriend. Iris and her girlfriends organize ladies nights in which they include Grammie (I think that is wonderful). Iris friend, Sophie is getting married and needs help with her wedding plans. Grammie and Iris offer to assist. The old lighthouse is being turned into a museum. Anne and Iris are on a committee to help with the exhibits. They are going through old trunks and furniture looking for items to help. Iris finds an old apron with a love note inside. She sets out to help two star crossed lovers and hope it does not backfire. I liked learning about lighthouses and keepers. It would be fascinating working on a lighthouse museum. Iris friend, Bella is accused of killing Lance Pedersen. Iris and her friends know that Bella is innocent and work together to prove it. There are several viable suspects along with subtle clues in this whodunit. I was able to discern the guilty parties identity, but I had no clue as to why this person committed the crime. There is a great action-packed reveal. I enjoyed reading this appealing cozy mystery and I look forward to my next visit to Blueberry Cove. Bodies and Bows is a charming tale with antique aprons, luxury linens, a slain suitor, lip-smacking barbecue, a funky filling, and ill-fated mates.
