Digging For Trouble (Pine Lake Inn Cozy Mystery Book 2) Kindle Edition

On a rare morning off from the the Pine Lake Inn Dell Powers was just looking to take in a little fresh air and exercise. Walking out in the bush in the warm November breeze she thought it couldn't be more perfect.

That is, until she came across old Arthur Loren, the resident town coot and fossicker. He was scrabbling around in the dirt like a madman muttering "Give it back" and making no sense at all.

Had he completely lost his mind? Or was something more going on?

What seemed like a routine medical issue of heat exhaustion becomes so much more as Dell, Kevin and James dig deeper into Arthur's life and the circumstances that brought him to be out in the bush at that time.

Before Dell knows it she is tangled up in a mystery that has ties to a one hundred year old murder.

5.0 out of 5 stars FIVE STAR !

This is the second book in the series and the ghostly theme continues. Once you start reading you are not going to want to put it down. The ending surprised me which means it is well written and very good. Katherine is a great author. Am thankful for the Glossary at the end of book for all non-Aussie readers. The introduction of a 'new ghost' was really interesting. One that could change into any face or character he chose. Am hoping that a future book will say what happened to Richard so Dell can move forward with James.

A good story with enough realism and enough 'ghostly' apparitions to hold your interest. Obviously there are going to be more in this series and I am looking forward to them.

I loved this book as much as the first in the series. In this book there is romance, assault, shooting, bodies, and ghosts. So much fun in this mystery I tried to stay awake all night because it was so hard to put down. Dell is a great character, too brave for her own good at times, but that's what I love about her. Kevin is almost always close to save her bacon and James is adorable. Don't miss this great mystery.

Same old tired story line. Local sheriff, blah blah blah . . . woman who eats whatever she wants but just doesn't gain an ounce, blah blah blah. Dear God, these authors are getting as bad as Hollywood!

Very entertaining read! Enjoyed the descriptive way the country was described. Loved the use of slang and hoping the other books do the same! The plot was handled pretty clever join back and forth between common cozy plotline and the way the author has her own quirk very likable! Left me wanting more for sure.

I love this new series and I loved this book. It was very unpredictable, which made it most enjoyable. I really like Kevin and I truly hope that his move is only temporary. I know he is too good for the position he was in but Pine Lake needs him!

3.0 out of 5 stars So NOT Australian
Reviewed in Australia on July 25, 2023
Verified Purchase
I really enjoyed the stories in this series so far.
The reason I have not given it a higher rating is the gross inaccuracies regarding life in Australia. For example, small towns (or any size town or city) in Australia do not have their own Police Department or Fire Department (they are both controlled and funded at a State level). A town the size Lakeshore is purported to be would almost certainly not have it's own mayor - they would more than likely be part of Geeveston local government area - and definitely would not have it's own judge.
And don't get me started on the Americanised spelling or terminology (eg diaper instead of nappy, or car trunk instead of car boot).
I will read the rest of series but I will be suspending reality - and not because of the ghosts!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Not Typically Australian
Reviewed in Australia on December 7, 2015

Like all of K.J Emrick books this has a good story. Unfortunately as an Australian it was very hard to read, because of, the miss use of Australian slang, and terminology as well as the inaccuracies in describing our legal and social structure.

Australian towns do not have their own police force, (we have state and federal police only).
Our states governors cannot pass laws or set taxes.
Nobody would call their bicycle “Wallaby”.
We do not say “mom” we say “mum”.
In our buildings the floor at ground level is referred to as the “ground floor”, the next floor up us the “first floor”, etc.
Our police force do not use un-roadworthy vehicles with “rusted out front fenders” ( fenders we call mudguards).
I must question whether K.J Emrick is really Australian. If she is, she should be ashamed of the language she used in this book.
