Loved These Books
There are many cozy mysteries available, but many just aren’t captivating and I quickly lose interest. These books, however were very good and I can’t wait until the next one is available!
Cabinfever: Verified Purchaser
Great read
I am really enjoying this series with its quirky characters and totally different settings. I’ve never read about people who were nomads in retirement. Interesting!

Nice Cozy Mystery
I’ve read all four of the “Julia Lives in a Van” cozy mysteries. When I saw how she lived in a camper and why, I was intrigued. What a fun premise for a book! Julia adopts a rescue dog, Toby, she takes with her on all her adventures. Julia accepts more and more people into her circle of friends as she travels to different places. Oh, and of course, there is always a mystery that takes place. Julia has the right idea on how to get away from it all. Almost makes me wish I could simplify my life and live the way Julia decided to live. Julia is a strong hero and all her friends just add to the fun.

The Case of the Notorious Nuthatch, Book Five in the Julia Lives in a Van Cozy Mystery Series
A reclusive Swedish billionaire, hiding from INTERPOL…
The location of a wrecked Spanish galleon with over a billion dollars worth of treasure…
An island resort for the über-wealthy in The Bahamas…
A rare bird that hasn’t been seen since 2019…
A body mysteriously found floating in the surf…
In The Case of the Notorious Nuthatch, book 5 in the Julia Lives in a Van Cozy Mystery Series, we find Julia and her friends, Dottie and Penelope, invited to an exclusive island retreat in The Bahamas. The retreat is named Abrams Cay, and it’s supposed to be one of the world’s top wildlife education centers.
What starts out as an idyllic, all-expenses-paid vacation turns into a murder mystery when Julia finds the hotel manager floating in the surf in an out-of-the-way part of the island.
The Bahamian authorities suspect that the island is being used as a stopping off point for drug runners headed to the United States. Unfortunately, they arrest the wrong suspect. Julia, Dottie, and Penelope do all they can to prove the suspect is innocent, but there’s more going on than meets the eye.
It becomes obvious to Julia that someone powerful is behind the scenes manipulating events. But why? Abrams Cay is supposed to be nothing more than a glorified nature center for the super-wealthy.
And, of course, there’s the Nuestra Señora de Santiago, a lost Spanish galleon that sank in the seventeen hundreds, laden with immense treasure.
Don’t start The Case of the Notorious Nuthatch if you have to get up early and go to work the next morning! In this new mystery, Julia finds herself in deep trouble. Will she get out of this alive? What about Toby, her beloved dog?
The Case of the Notorious Nuthatch is the fifth book in the Julia Lives in a Van Cozy Mystery Series. Like the other books in the series, this book is a fun, quirky cozy mystery. This is a safe mystery that anyone of any age can read and enjoy. Follow along with Julia, Toby, her dog, and her friends, Dottie and Penelope, as they match wits with a billionaire sociopath!

Story
Two little girls stand with their heads bowed in my living room. I’m told they’re my granddaughters. Daisy is nine, and Alice seven. Daisy is the spitting image of her mother. This is the first time I’ve met them since my daughter and I fell out after she married that waste of space, Vince. They’ve come to live with me because their mother — my daughter — was murdered. In her own home while they slept close by. I think Vince killed her. But the police can’t prove it. I’ve always known he was no good. He treated my daughter like dirt. I said he’d cheat on her — but she wouldn’t listen.

After the killing of a prominent mob lawyer, NYPD homicide detectives Jacob Jackson and Caitlin Grimes start receive chilling, written “rules” for how to commit the perfect murder.

Jackson (Reid Scott) and Grimes (Cobie Smulders) race to find the killer, setting them on a collision course with the city’s crime underbelly, and a perpetrator who seems happy to toy with them. “Rule number two. No crimes of passion. The perfect murder is always business, never pleasure.”

Story
Kidnappers grabbed Jenna in broad daylight, right in front of her children and their horrified classmates. Her family was issued an insane ransom demand: $25 million in cash and jewels, payable by the end of the school day, otherwise they’ll never see her again. As Jenna’s mother scrambles to gather the money, detectives Mo Butler and George Ortega follow the trail of the kidnappers, which will lead them through a sordid landscape of jealous lovers, broken dreamers, and twisted schemers. But every second counts, and there’s one thing Jenna Wade doesn’t have: very much time.
