A Renaissance Faire Mystery
review 1: This book was so much fun to read. I got hooked when I read the first one. It takes place in the modern times but these people who live & work in Renaissance Village seem to forget sometimes it isn't the real world even though they all know better. Take Robin Hood for instance, he legally changed his name to Robin Hood, he truley loves living in the Sherwood Forest of the Village. With each book you get to know the people better. And the main characters are likeable nice people. My only complaint-is that Jesse the heroine doesn't live there full time. If you like a good mystery & something to take you to place a little different this is the book for you.
review 2: This was kind of fun to read because of all the Halloween elements, and we had just been to the Ph
... moreantom Feast at the MN Renaissance Festival. I love the set up for this series (this is #3 I think) and I can really imagine what everything looks like in terms of the Faires I have been to. I wish I could say that Jessie has grown up a little since the first book but she is still acting like a teen-ager in terms of her love affair and her scatter-brained way of attaching a situation. I have no idea how she ever got through academia enough to make to PhD status. I think her disseration is barely a Master's thesis. What till you see what she does to the Pirate King. It is unforgiveable and I don't blame him at all..... I didn't quite buy the whole mystery element in this one, either. But again, a lazy read for a lazy day. less

The romance side story was too annoying and cliche for me. Got to page 50 and tossed it.

I thought it was quite good. I was actually able to finish a "cozy" mystery
