I haven't been in Missouri or Arkansas where the first two Ivy Malone books were set. But I've visited the others (actually lived in several of them), including all the areas in the three Mac 'n' Ivy books. Going there is certainly my favorite way to do research!<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03653935001847219243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6882268403920558613.post-54503599338566886972020-01-29T21:13:32.425-05:002020-01-29T21:13:32.425-05:00I’ve read all your Mac and Ivy books, they have be...I’ve read all your Mac and Ivy books, they have been a fun escape!Oceanbrzzzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10962490475552788393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6882268403920558613.post-47964084479736324572020-01-29T20:13:29.018-05:002020-01-29T20:13:29.018-05:00I am also drawn to the mystery.

I like trying to figure out what's happening without actually being able to figure it out until the end.

The mystery/suspense is always most important. If there's a little romance included, that's okay with me. However, I don't really care for the romance to overshadow the mystery/suspense. grandaddya[at]comcast[dot]netGrandaddyAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15285332112293622179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6882268403920558613.post-9656713666016907892020-01-20T14:25:27.394-05:002020-01-20T14:25:27.394-05:00To me the mystery and suspense is more important. ...To me the mystery and suspense is more important.

I like it when the mystery/romance are entwined and there is just a hint of romance that either builds with the series or if it is a stand a lone book, that it is more mystery. quilting lady 2 at comcast dot netLori Smanskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17324730038327894401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6882268403920558613.post-60252515760914185602020-01-20T11:31:59.814-05:002020-01-20T11:31:59.814-05:00New author for me. cheetahthecat1986ATgmailDOTcomNew author for me. cheetahthecat1986ATgmailDOTcomkim hansenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12951846304316134717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6882268403920558613.post-65699223808349561202020-01-20T11:14:22.759-05:002020-01-20T11:14:22.759-05:00This sounds like a fun mystery/romance.

I prefer the mystery part of a mystery/romance. I like the character development in the romance, but I don't necessarily read the book for that part. Anyway, both aspects make the book interesting. I'd enjoy reading Dessert Dead.<br />lorigeorge(at)hotmail(dot)comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
