Book 2 of the series begins with Kelly returning from a trip to Wyoming to retrieve her belongings. Before she even gets a chance to settle in her apartment, the action begins. She is thrown into the cataloguing of artifacts at an inn also owned by her boss of the B & B. There have been jewel thefts at the inn, and in the midst of everything else, a woman staying at the inn is found (by Kelly) murdered in her room. So many mysteries are intertwined. Fortunately not only does the boss want Kelly to sleuth and help figure out the murder and more, so does the Deputy Sheriff and detectives on the case. As they work together (having squeezed in a little whale watching before the murder) the Silver Sentinals help in many ways and eventually find a man for the police who is wanted in the mystery.
It is a fascinating history and genealogy lesson as the author details the lineage of the house and family. It was fascinating to see how each character/group of characters went about finding answers using their own methods and resources they had. There were lighthearted moments interspersed with tragedy, and the happy feeling from dogs and kids that kept things on an even keel.
I look forward to more stories in this series. Obviously running a B&B or an Inn is a lot different from what we perceive from television! ;) I recommend reading the books in order so you get to know the characters better. The previous book and this book do not overlap, however many of the important characters are the same.

Love the second book in the Kelly Jackson Mysteries series. Read the first book, and HAD to read the second, both were wonderful.
I hear she is writing a third book, can't wait. The books are written around a B&B, on the west coast, Janet writes in a way, I can feel the chill in the air, love her descriptive scenery........ Murder at the Mansion is a great story, whale watching, missing jewelry (can't believe who was behind that, HA HA) attempted murder and murder!!!! Lots of action. Great read.

Thanks Janet for such a good book.

Kelly is now the permanent manager of the Redwood Cove B&B and while the inn is going through renovations, she is asked to assist at a sister property nearby (Redwood Heights) doing an inventory. Almost as soon as she arrives, there is a murder - one of the guests is stabbed to death with what turns out to be an antique hat pin, one of the items Kelly had seen while inventorying. It turns out Redwood Heights is for sale and the murdered woman is actually a secret employee who is there to observe how things are being run. There are also several seemingly unrelated incidents occurring - jewelry robberies, another murder, several attacks on a member of the Silver Sentinels and Kelly herself, as well as the manager of Redwood Heights. I found this book to be quite suspenseful with plenty of suspects. I really enjoyed the historical aspect of the crimes, which provided a great solution to finding the killer and reasons for the crime. Interesting twist on who the jewelry robber was! Looking forward to book #3 which seems to be coming soon!

Curl up with a cup of tea and enjoy the mystery!

I really like this series..it has everything I want in a cozy - a "keep you guessing" mystery, action, beautiful setting, relatable heroine, a love interest, family and animals!

Kelly Jackson is the manager of a resort B & B. She solves crimes with a group of savvy seniors, called the Silver Sentinels". The latest mystery the crew is investigating is the death of a guest. What looks like an accident turns out to be murder.

I love the writing style of Ms. Finsilver. Her description of the beauty of coastal California and the Redwood B & B makes me want to visit! Kelly Jackson is kind, smart and starting a relationship with a handsome colleague and the friendship among her and the Sentinels is charming and touching.

I'm looking forward to the next adventure!

Good Decent Mystery Novels

I really like Janet Finsilver's mysteries.......they are very good "who done it" type murder novels. When I say there's "some violence", there
is a person or persons who are killed in her novels and then the rest of the book is devoted to finding the killer. Classic! I don't need to read
about a bunch of blood and gore, or sexual content for it to be very entertaining. A good read! Another plus, no bad language :)
