Framed by a Forgery (A Lacey Doyle Cozy Mystery—Book 8) Kindle Edition

4.5 out of 5 stars 547 ratings

"Very entertaining. I highly recommend this book to the permanent library of any reader that appreciates a very well written mystery, with some twists and an intelligent plot. You will not be disappointed. Excellent way to spend a cold weekend!"
--Books and Movie Reviews, Roberto Mattos (regarding Murder in the Manor)

FRAMED BY A FORGERY (A LACEY DOYLE COZY MYSTERY—BOOK 8) is book eight in a charming new cozy mystery series which begins with MURDER IN THE MANOR (Book #1), a #1 Bestseller with over 100 five-star reviews—and a free download!

Lacey Doyle, 39 years old and freshly divorced, has made a drastic change: she has walked away from the fast life of New York City and settled down in the quaint English seaside town of Wilfordshire.

November has arrived, bringing the crisp weather, farms, and the promise of Fall holidays, and Lacey is thrilled to be auctioning off a rare and priceless letter. But after selling it to an eager buyer, the letter turns out to be too good to be true—it’s been forged, and the buyer wants his money back.

But the person who sold it to her is now dead.

Can the forgery and murder be connected?

Lacey, with her beloved dog, must solve the crime and unearth the source of the forgery before she herself is implicated and her business is taken away from her.

Book #9—CATASTROPHE IN A CLOISTER—is also available!

    I enjoyed this great Lacey Doyle must-solve cozy mystery that immediately pulled me in and kept me totally involved in all that was happening until I read the last word. I feel like I could be friends with Lacey and love her dynamic with the other characters. If you like mysteries that are smartly-crafted with twists, turns and a bit of mayhem, you will love "Framed by a Forgery". I can't wait to see what happens next with Lacey, her English shepherd dog, Chester, her friends and family. I received an advance reader copy from Book Sirens and am voluntarily leaving my review. I liked it so much, I purchased a copy to read again later.

    Lacey finally finds her Dad and he makes a visit. He and Tom don’t get along but why? Is it jealously? Lacey auctions off a very valuable letter, or so it seems, then she has to solve the murder. Good reading! I love these books and hope they continue with more mysteries. Jo

    I liked the book, and I would like to read the others which preceded it. This latest offering in the series can be read as a stand-alone, of course, but in some parts I feel it's better to have read the earlier ones. It's well-written, and I liked the characters and plot. However, as in many digital books I have read, there were more errors than in printed books(printed books seem to be having more errors than those published in the past, and perhaps this is due to using a computer program to check errors instead of a human being.) The errors were in punctuation, and spelling, and sentence construction. Some of the sentences could be written in a different manner. However, those errors didn't really detract from the reading of the text. I would recommend it, but , like me, you may like to read the series in chronological order. I think this was an ARC, and if so, I would expect the errors would be corrected. Either way, it made for pleasant reading. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

    Hard to put Fiona Grace books down, so many twists in the tale. And I have never guessed it right. So looking forward to start book 9. Thanks for keeping the story/take so exciting to follow.
