Addie Foster, owner of Smiling Dog Books, loves her small-town life. Until someone, or rather several someones, tries to end it. What secrets is she hiding? Add one gay BFF and one dark, brooding detective into the mix and watch everything unfold. Will Addie figure out why someone wants her dead before it’s too late? Or will this be her final chapter?
Death Comes in Threes is the first in a “new to me” cozy mystery series. Addie is getting along fine. She has her home and her bookstore, her two Shetland sheepdogs, her two aunties and her GBF. What more could she want? But when she discovers a dead body two houses down and attempts are made on her life she discovers just how precious life is. This story has mysteries within mysteries and I’m excited at the prospect of exploring them.
I enjoyed the first story in this cozy mystery series. It was a fun and fast paced read with great characters. I am happily going on to read the next two books in the series.
Thank you to the author, Kimberley O’Malley, for this copy of Death Comes on Threes. This one is a quick read. I really enjoyed this cozy mystery and look forward to reading more of this series. Definitely recommended.
This was my first Kimberley O’Malley read and it was a fun introduction. Addie made this a fun cozy mystery. She and her BFF keep you laughing. Looking forward to checking out some more of Kimberley O’Malley’s book.
Very cozy mystery novel. Great for a rainy day with a book. I can’t wait to see what happens between Addi and Detective Wolfe. Very fast paced keeps you turning the pages! Cant wait for the next book.
Brilliant Short Story!
Oh I loved this! It was the refreshing change in genre I needed. The suspense kept me turning the pages and the little hint of chemistry between Addie and Detective Wolfe added a nice bit of spice. That cliff hanger has left me intrigued to find out more so I’m going straight into book 2!
I really enjoyed this Murder, mystery book. It was light hearted but with the right amount of suspense that kept you intrigued.
Addie is having frightening dreams that wake her up with the realness of them.
Her best friend Grey and her live in a small town where nothing really exciting happens, until Addie stumbles upon a dead body a few doors down from her. This leads to her being targeted by some heavy Croatian Criminals hunting her down, for which she has no idea why. Throw in a good looking Detective and the sparks Addie feels for him and this makes for an exciting read.
I loved the importance of Addie’s dreams and can’t wait to find out what they all mean. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series.
I’ve enjoyed the other books. This one was a really great Cozy Mystery. Using the story line of a book store owner stumbled onto a murder. The way the Author told the story was great. Kept you really involved. This was a great start of a series, it leaves you with a lot of unanswered questions but it also really gets you wanting to read the next one.
This was a cute suspenseful mystery. It had me trying to figure out some of Addie’s questions. This book was an easy read and hard to put down. I can’t wait to read the other books in this series to see how they tie together with this book.
This is my first book by this author, and at first I wasn’t sure if I would like it, but it pulled me in from the start! I love the banter between Addie and Grey! And Detective Wolf,,, I can’t wait to find out how this plays out with him and Addie! There is so much going on with Addie, and I’m curious about her dreams, I want to know who THAT man is!! I can’t wait to read the rest of the series!
What can say….DEATH COMES THE THREES by Kimberley O’ Malley was Entertaining and an Intriguing Cozy Mystery! Once I started reading, I Could Not Put It in Down and devour it in ONE Sitting!! I never read a Cozy Mystery book before and this One was No Exception!! I Love Ms. O’ Malley’s World of Words and this One was full of Suspenseful Surprises and delighted entertainment all around. The characters grab you into their world and keeps you on your toes and wanna know what was going to happen next!!
And of course, it leaves wanting more from this Author and definitely enjoyed this Suspenseful thriller! CANNOT WAIT FOR THE NEXT ONE!!
This is my first time reading Kimberley O’Malley. And also this was out of range of my normal genre. I don’t normally read mysteries but these cozy mysteries as they are apparently labeled, were a delightful read. I will admit in the beginning I wasn’t sure I was going to like it. It began slow and didn’t immediately grab me, though the banter between best friends Addie and Grey was fun and endearing. Addie’s quiet small town life has gone topsy-turvy with the threat of international criminals that mysteriously end up dead. Took me a bit to get into the story but once I did, I didn’t want it to end. More or less I think this was an endearing introduction of Addie and everyone in her life to set up the Addie Foster Mystery Series since it is the first book in the series. Looking forward to more.
Addie Foster has a knack for finding trouble. She stumbles across her neighbor that has been murdered. She meets the Detective on the case and sparks fly. Through a series of events addies life twists and turns sometime in dangerous directions. Wonderfully written and easy to read
This is the first cozy mystery written by the author and the first in the series. It is set in a cute little town that becomes a little less safe when Addie gets the attention of some evil dudes from Russia, that have done lots of bad things. Addie owns a bookstore, has two dogs that are always with her, a BFF in Grey, and two doting older aunts. She starts having bad dreams and tries to write down what happens in them when she wakes. Eventually some of the dreams begin to happen in real life. The chemistry with Addie and the detective she is working with is crazy. I didn’t feel like the book had a great ending, and I know it isn’t over because book 2 is out, but I would have preferred a little more closure. However, the characters and plot were well developed and very enjoyable and believable. I will read the next book to see how the story continues unfolding. Very quick and short read!
This book surprised me. While the blurb was interesting, I wasn’t sure if it would have the power to keep me wanting more. But boy did it and then some. I love a good mystery book and this book definitely provided just that. I’m still left wanting more. Good thing there is another book!
This book was okay. Short and easy read, but I felt like there were things left unresolved.
This is my first book by Kimberly O’malley. This is the first book in the Addie Foster mystery series. This was a quick read for me. I enjoyed the book. I loved how it was a light mystery with a little bit of a romance. All the characters were great. I loved how Addie stuck up for herself. Her best friend Grey was so cute. I can’t wait to read the next book to see what happens next in the series. You do have a little cliffhanger. I really want to know what’s going to happen next. Great fast read
Another Kimberley great!!! So different from her usual work but still a great read!!! I love everything she writes!!! This book was a quick and easy, read in an hour, thrill ride novella!!!!
I love a good cozy mystery and expect the plots to be crazy unrealistic (well for the normal person anyways) and this was well done. First in the series, Death Comes in Threes starts off with a great cast of characters both main and supporting. Addie is small town business owner that stumbles across the attention of some international criminals that want her dead. A fast read that keeps you interested, can’t wait to read more.
This was a nice cozy mystery. It is a short story and ended way too soon for me. Loved Addie and Detective Wolfe, I want Grey as my BFF, the dogs were sweet and the Aunties were a trip.
